We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes "Why USAA?" intro, "The Opportunity", "What You'll Do", "What You Have", "What Sets You Apart", "Compensation range", "Benefits". Also mention flexible work environment, location, relocation assistance. Those could be part of About the role or maybe separate sections like "Schedule" (flexible work environment requires 4 days per week) and "Location". But rules: only include sections when posting has real specific content. We have compensation range, benefits, schedule (flexible work environment requires 4 days per week). Also location info could be part of About the role or maybe a separate "Location" but not a prescribed heading; headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we map: - About the role: could include mission, why USAA, opportunity description, location, relocation, flexible work environment? But we also have Schedule separate. - Responsibilities: "What You'll Do" list. - Requirements: "What You Have" (education, license, experience). - Qualifications: maybe "What Sets You Apart" (preferred qualifications). Could also be Skills. - Benefits: benefits section. - Pay: compensation range. - Schedule: flexible work environment requires 4 days per week. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: EEO, visa sponsorship note? That's maybe not boilerplate but it's a note about visa sponsorship; could be considered legal? Might be considered boilerplate? It's a specific note about visa sponsorship; but it's not a section heading; we can include as a short paragraph maybe under About the role? But it's not required; we could drop it as it's not substantive? It's a condition; but maybe we keep as a short p. We must not include duplicated lines. Also remove application instructions, cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The EEO statement at end should be removed. Also visa sponsorship note maybe considered legal; but it's a specific condition; but we could keep as a short p under About the role? Might be considered boilerplate? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate". Visa sponsorship note is legal; maybe remove. Safer to remove it. Thus we keep: Why USAA? (mission) as part of About the role. The Opportunity description. Location and relocation assistance. Flexible work environment (schedule). Compensation range. Benefits. Responsibilities (What You'll Do). Requirements (What You Have). Qualifications/Skills (What Sets You Apart). We'll produce sections accordingly. We need to use
