We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, no invention. Remove boilerplate like EEO, etc. Must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have content: company description (About the role? Actually summary). We have Summary/Function: description of role. That could be "About the role". Then Qualifications: includes Education & Experience, Microsoft Ecosystem Proficiency, Programming Skills, Cloud & AI Knowledge, DevOps Mindset, Problem-Solving & Communication, Coordination, Preferred Qualifications (list). Also Duties: list of duties. Then "What do we offer": benefits list. Then "The potential base pay hiring range for this role is $90,000 - $120,000 annually." That's Pay. No schedule info. So we include sections: About the role (summary), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (maybe qualifications?), Qualifications (maybe required qualifications?), Skills (maybe programming skills?), Benefits, Pay. But we need to avoid duplication. The instructions: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should map content to these headings. We have a lot of qualifications; we could split into Requirements (mandatory) and Preferred Qualifications (preferred). Skills could be programming skills etc. But we must not create thin sections. Let's think: The posting includes: - Summary/Function: description. - Qualifications: includes Education & Experience, Microsoft Ecosystem Proficiency, Programming Skills, Cloud & AI Knowledge, DevOps Mindset, Problem-Solving & Communication, Coordination. - Preferred Qualifications: many bullet points. - Duties: list. - What do we offer: benefits list. - Pay range. Thus we can map: About the role: Summary/Function paragraph. Responsibilities: Duties list. Requirements: the mandatory qualifications (Education & Experience, Microsoft Ecosystem Proficiency, Programming Skills, Cloud & AI Knowledge, DevOps Mindset, Problem-Solving & Communication, Coordination). Could be combined. Qualifications: maybe Preferred Qualifications? But we already used Requirements for mandatory; Qualifications could be Preferred Qualifications. However the heading list includes both Requirements and Qualifications; we can use both. Skills: maybe programming skills? But we already covered programming skills in Requirements. Could combine but we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps we can omit Skills if content is covered elsewhere. But we need to include only when posting has real specific content. The posting does have programming skills detail; we could put under Skills heading. But then Requirements would be other qualifications (education, experience, etc). Let's decide: - About the role: summary. - Responsibilities: duties. - Requirements: Education & Experience, Microsoft Ecosystem Proficiency, Cloud & AI Knowledge, DevOps Mindset, Problem-Solving & Communication, Coordination (maybe also include "Ability to maintain regular, predictable attendance"? That's from required associates but that's boilerplate? It's part of "The following is required from all associates..." which is generic company policy; we should remove boilerplate. So we exclude that. - Skills: Programming Skills (proficiency in at least one language, RESTful APIs, data integration). - Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications (Copilot Studio Expertise, Advanced AI & ML Skills, Financial Services Experience, Security & Compliance Focus, Innovation & Leadership, Lean and Agile background, Patience). - Benefits: What do we offer list. - Pay: base pay range. Schedule: none, so omit. We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. Also remove "The following is required from all associates..." lines (commitment to maintain client confidentiality etc.) That's boilerplate; remove. Also remove "ACKNOWLEDGMENT" etc. Now produce HTML: use

for each heading, then content:

for prose,

  • for lists. We need to preserve all substantive info: ensure we include all details from each section. Let's extract details. About the role (Summary/Function): "We are seeking a Mid-Level AI and Automation Engineer to develop next-generation AI capabilities within our Microsoft-based environment. This role will focus on building intelligent assistants and automated workflows using tools like Microsoft 365 Copilot Studio, Power Automate, and Azure AI Foundry.
