We need to output HTML fragment with 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 as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, no invented details. Remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Also remove application instructions, etc.
We need to parse the posting.
Key content:
- Intro paragraph about Capital One AI, etc. Could be "About the role" maybe? Actually "About the role" is a heading we can use for description of role/team. The posting includes "Team Description: The Intelligent Foundations and Experiences (IFX) team ..." and earlier paragraphs about mission. So we can put that under About the role.
- Responsibilities: "What You’ll Do:" bullet list (actually sentences). We need to convert to
- . The list includes many items separated by periods. We'll split each sentence as a bullet.
- Requirements: "Basic Qualifications:" bullet list. Also maybe "Preferred Qualifications:" could be under Qualifications or Skills? The instruction: Use headings Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide mapping. Typically Requirements = basic qualifications, Qualifications = preferred qualifications, Skills = maybe technical skills list. But we can combine.
We have Basic Qualifications: Bachelor's degree ... plus at least 4 years experience ... or Master's plus 2 years. At least 4 years experience programming with Python, Go, Scala, CUDA, or Java.
Preferred Qualifications: list many items.
We also have "The Ideal Candidate:" paragraph describing traits. Could be under Skills or maybe under Qualifications? The instruction: Use headings for sections only when posting has real specific content. We have content for Ideal Candidate (traits). Could be under Skills or maybe under Qualifications? Might be better to put under Skills (soft skills). But we also have a list of technical skills in Preferred Qualifications.
We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
Pay: Salary ranges per location. That's specific. So we need a Pay section with that info.
Schedule: Not mentioned. No schedule info, so we should not include Schedule section.
Benefits: Mentioned: "Capital One offers a comprehensive, competitive, and inclusive set of health, financial and other benefits that support your total well-being. Learn more at the Capital One Careers website. Eligibility varies based on full or part-time status, exempt or non-exempt status, and management level." That's benefits info, albeit generic but still specific. We can include Benefits section with that paragraph.
We must not include boilerplate like "Learn more at the Capital One Careers website." That's okay.
We must not include application instructions like "No agencies please." That's boilerplate; remove.
We must not include EEO etc. Remove.
We must not include "Capital One will consider sponsoring a new qualified applicant for employment authorization for this position." That's substantive? It's about sponsorship. Might be considered relevant. Should we keep? It's not boilerplate; it's about visa sponsorship. Could be included maybe under About the role or a separate section? There's no specific heading for sponsorship. Could be included in About the role paragraph.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep that sentence.
Also "This role is also eligible to earn performance based incentive compensation, which may include cash bonus(es) and/or long term incentives (LTI). Incentives could be discretionary or non discretionary depending on the plan." That's substantive; could be under Benefits or Pay? Probably under Benefits (compensation). Could be under Pay as well. But we already have Pay section for base salary. Incentives could be part of Benefits or separate. Since we have Benefits section, we can include that there.
Also "This role is expected to accept applications for a minimum of 5 business days." That's about application period; maybe considered boilerplate? It's not exactly boilerplate but could be considered application instruction. The instruction says remove application instructions. This is about application period, maybe remove.
Also "Capital One is an equal opportunity employer..." remove.
Also "Capital One promotes a drug-free workplace." remove.
Also "Capital One will consider for employment qualified applicants with a criminal history..." remove.
Also accommodation contact info: remove? It's about accommodation for disability; could be considered EEO/legal; remove.
Also "For technical support or questions about Capital One's recruiting process, please send an email to Careers@capitalone.com" remove.
Also "Capital One does not provide, endorse nor guarantee..." remove.
Also "Capital One Financial is made up of several different entities..." remove.
Thus we keep: intro paragraphs, team description, what you'll do, ideal candidate, basic qualifications, preferred qualifications, pay, benefits (including incentives and sponsorship?), maybe also mention sponsorship.
We need to decide headings.
We'll produce:
About the role
... (intro + team description + sponsorship sentence)
Responsibilities
- ... ...
Requirements
Basic Qualifications:
- ... ...
Qualifications
Preferred Qualifications:
- ... ...
Skills
Ideal Candidate traits:

Benefits
... benefits paragraph + incentive compensation + sponsorship? Actually sponsorship already in About the role. We'll keep incentives here.

We must not include Schedule. Check that we don't repeat content. Now we need to extract exact sentences.
