>Our specific team is responsible for everything below application-level (OS, hardware, shared tech resources) ....Ideally, candidates will have some experience in: Kubernetes, Prometheus, AWS...Salt, Puppet, Ansible,..PostgreSQL

I don't think your job posting makes sense. "Below application-level" is ambiguous, but the ordinary meaning would be kernel, drivers, network stack, then hardware, and so on. But then you talk about, well, really big abstract things that are about as far above hardware as it gets on the server-side. k8s is enormously absract from hardware. If I was feeling snarky I'd recommend that you add all the front-end tech so you only have to hire one person for your whole engineering team.



Thanks for the feedback! I guess to put it in different words, our team is responsible for "infrastructure automation" (which would include both kernel responsibilities yet higher level abstractions too e.g., k8s). This is in contrast to our application development teams at Cboe which would instead focus on writing the logic of the trading systems themselves (e.g., matching engines, code to interface with orders and other exchanges, etc.). Hope that helps.


Yes, that's less ambiguous. You could also use the term "devops" or even SRE to describe what you're looking for.
