HybridInformation TechnologyFull-time
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. The posting includes: description of role (About the role), Core Responsibilities (list), Required Qualifications (list), Preferred Qualifications (list), Special Factors (Sponsorship note), About Vanguard (company description), How We Work (hybrid model). No explicit Pay, Benefits, Schedule. So we should not include those sections. We need to use for section headings. Use
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. There's no explicit application instructions. The "Special Factors Sponsorship Vanguard is not offering visa sponsorship for this position." That's substantive; we can include maybe under a section like "Special Factors" but not in prescribed headings. The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings? It says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely they expect only those headings if content exists. But we could also include other headings if needed? The instruction: "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It suggests those are the allowed headings. Probably we should stick to those. So we need to map content to those sections.
About the role: we have introductory paragraph: "We are seeking a (Senior) Secure Code Reviewer to join the Threat Modeling & Validation team. This role is responsible for performing secure code reviews of internally developed applications and services, identifying security vulnerabilities, validating findings, and providing developers with practical remediation guidance. You'll combine manual expertise with AI analysis to catch vulnerabilities before they ship. The ideal candidate combines application security expertise with hands-on software development experience and a demonstrated ability to leverage AI tooling."
That's About the role.
Responsibilities: Core Responsibilities list.
Requirements: maybe Required Qualifications? But they separate Requirements and Qualifications. Could treat Required Qualifications as Requirements, and Preferred Qualifications as Qualifications? Or Qualifications could be both required and preferred? The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need Requirements and Qualifications sections. We have Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. We could put Required Qualifications under Requirements, and Preferred Qualifications under Qualifications. That seems reasonable.
Skills: maybe we could extract skills from qualifications? But we might not have a separate skills list. Could we put skills under Qualifications? But we need a Skills section only if posting has real specific content for it. The posting does not have a distinct "Skills" section; skills are embedded in qualifications. Should we create a Skills section? Probably not, because no explicit skills list. So omit Skills.
Benefits, Pay, Schedule: none, omit.
We also have About Vanguard and How We Work sections. Those are not in the prescribed headings. Should we include them? The instruction says "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't forbid other headings, but says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Including About Vanguard and How We Work could be extra sections. However they are substantive. The instruction: "Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences." It didn't say we cannot add other headings. But the examples given are typical sections. Might be safe to include About Vanguard and How We Work as additional sections with . However the instruction says "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." The "e.g." suggests those are examples, not exhaustive. So we can add other headings as needed.
Thus we will include sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, About Vanguard, How We Work. Also maybe Special Factors (Sponsorship) could be included under About Vanguard or as its own section. But we could incorporate Sponsorship note into About Vanguard or as a separate "Special Factors" section. Since it's substantive, we could add a section "Special Factors". But not in the list; still okay.
We need to preserve all substantive information: include the sponsorship note.
