Associate Director Platform Engineering
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must 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, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Also remove statements like "We are an equal opportunity employer..." etc. Also remove "The salary range is indicative..." maybe that's pay info? Actually they gave Pay And Benefits section with details: Competitive compensation, including base pay and annual incentive; Comprehensive health and life insurance and well-being benefits, based on location; Pension / Retirement benefits; Paid Time Off and Personal/Family Care, and other leaves of absence when needed to support your physical, financial, and emotional well-being. Also flexible/hybrid model: 3 days onsite and 2 days remote (onsite Tuesdays, Wednesdays and a third day unique to each team or employee). So we have Pay and Benefits content. Also schedule info: flexible/hybrid model. So we can have sections: About the role (maybe intro paragraph), Responsibilities, Qualifications (maybe includes minimum experience, degree), Skills (talents needed for success), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. However we must avoid thin sections. We need to decide which sections have substantive content.
We have:
- Intro paragraph: "Are you ready to make an impact at DTCC? ..." includes description of company, mission, etc. That could be "About the role" or maybe "About DTCC". But we can put as "About the role". It's substantive.
- Responsibilities: many bullet points under "Your Primary Responsibilities". Good.
- Qualifications: "Minimum of 8 years of related experience Bachelor's degree preferred or equivalent experience". Also "Talents Needed For Success" includes many specifics. Could split into Qualifications (education/experience) and Skills (technologies). The instruction says use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can have Qualifications and Skills separate.
- Benefits: list of benefits.
- Pay: they mention "Competitive compensation, including base pay and annual incentive". That's pay info. Also "The salary range is indicative..." but we should not include vague statements like "indicative". However we have actual statement: Competitive compensation, including base pay and annual incentive. That's specific enough? It's not a number but it's a description. The instruction says: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. The posting does state "Competitive compensation, including base pay and annual incentive". That's not filler; it's a statement. So we can include Pay section with that sentence.
- Schedule: they state flexible/hybrid model of 3 days onsite and 2 days remote (onsite Tuesdays, Wednesdays and a third day unique to each team or employee). That's specific. So Schedule section.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Also remove application instructions (none present). Also remove "We are an equal opportunity employer..." etc.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include all bullet points from responsibilities, qualifications, skills, benefits, pay, schedule.
We must format using for section headings, - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We must output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Let's craft.
First, About the role: combine introductory paragraphs until before "The Impact You Will Have In This Role". Actually there is a paragraph: "Are you ready to make an impact at DTCC? Do you want to work on innovative projects, collaborate with a dynamic and supportive team, and receive investment in your professional development? At DTCC, we are at the forefront of innovation in the financial markets. We are committed to helping our employees grow and succeed. We believe that you have the skills and drive to make a real impact. We foster a thriving internal community and are committed to creating a workplace that looks like the world that we serve. The Information Technology group delivers secure, reliable technology solutions that enable DTCC to be the trusted infrastructure of the global capital markets. The team delivers high-quality information through activities that include development of essential, building infrastructure capabilities to meet client needs and implementing data standards and governance."
That's substantive. We'll put as
.
Then maybe a heading "About the role". Then that paragraph.
Next, Responsibilities: heading
Responsibilities
then with each bullet from "Your Primary Responsibilities". Need to capture all bullet points.
List them:
- Lead a team of Linux platform engineers responsible for the design, delivery, and support of enterprise Linux services.
- Set technical direction for Linux platform standards, operating system architecture, and engineering practices.
- Act as the escalation point for complex Linux platform issues.
- Make technical decisions that improve platform reliability, automation, and operational efficiency.
- Mentor engineers through technical coaching, design reviews, and engineering best practices.
- Continue the evolution of our automation-first operating model.
- Develop and maintain automation frameworks using Ansible and related technologies.
- Eliminate manual processes through automation and self-service capabilities.
- Ensure configuration consistency through automated validation, drift detection, and remediation.
- Identify opportunities to reduce operational toil and improve engineering efficiency.
- Own Linux image creation, packaging, testing, deployment, and lifecycle management.
- Drive adoption of Infrastructure as Code and immutable infrastructure practices.
- Integrate operating system engineering into CI/CD pipelines.
- Improve the speed, consistency, and reliability of Linux platform deployments.
- Establish standards that support repeatable and automated platform delivery.
- Work closely with Security, Risk, Audit, Network Engineering, Cloud Engineering, and Application Development teams.
- Support audit and regulatory requirements through engineering solutions and automation.
- Ensure Linux platforms integrate securely with identity, authentication, and secrets-management services.
- Participate in major platform modernization and infrastructure initiatives.
- Drive improvements in platform stability, resilience, and recoverability.
- Lead root-cause analysis and corrective actions for significant incidents.
- Ensure Linux services are observable, supportable, and backed by meaningful monitoring and alerting.
- Participate in disaster recovery planning and resiliency testing.
- Help establish operational standards that improve service reliability.
That's many.
Next, Qualifications: heading Qualifications
then maybe for bullet points? The qualifications include: Minimum of 8 years of related experience; Bachelor's degree preferred or equivalent experience. Could be two items.
We'll put as - Minimum of 8 years of related experience
- Bachelor's degree preferred or equivalent experience
Next, Skills: heading Skills
then list from "Talents Needed For Success". That includes many bullet points: 8+ years of experience in Linux, infrastructure, or platform engineering; Experience leading engineers, technical teams, or major platform initiatives; Deep knowledge of Red Hat Enterprise Linux and enterprise Linux technologies; Strong automation experience using Ansible; Experience with Infrastructure as Code using Terraform or similar technologies; Experience building and supporting highly available enterprise platforms; Experience integrating infrastructure solutions into CI/CD pipelines; Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills; Ability to coach engineers while remaining technically engaged; Strong communication and collaboration skills; Then a list of technologies grouped: Linux: (Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), Satellite, SELinux, systemd); Automation: (Ansible, Ansible Automation Platform, Python, Bash, shell scripting); Infrastructure as Code: (Terraform, TFLint, Terratest, Checkov); Source Control: (GitHub Enterprise, Git, pull requests, code reviews); CI/CD: (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Artifactory); Cloud: (AWS, Azure); Containers: (OpenShift, Kubernetes); Observability: (Splunk, Grafana, Prometheus, Dynatrace). We need to preserve all substantive information. Should we break these into separate list items? Probably each bullet as a line. Could group but better to list each distinct item. However the instruction: Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can treat each bullet as
- . For the grouped technology lists, we could keep them as a single
- containing the grouped text. That's okay.
Thus Skills section will have many
- items.
Next Benefits: heading
Benefits
then with items: Competitive compensation, including base pay and annual incentive; Comprehensive health and life insurance and well-being benefits, based on location; Pension / Retirement benefits; Paid Time Off and Personal/Family Care, and other leaves of absence when needed to support your physical, financial, and emotional well-being.
But note that "Competitive compensation, including base pay and annual incentive" is also pay. Might duplicate with Pay section. The instruction says we should not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state benefits and pay. However the benefits list includes compensation as first item. Might be okay to have both Pay and Benefits sections; but we risk duplication. Perhaps better to put compensation under Pay section, and other benefits under Benefits section. The posting lumps them together under "Pay And Benefits". We can split: Pay section includes "Competitive compensation, including base pay and annual incentive". Benefits section includes the rest: Comprehensive health and life insurance and well-being benefits, based on location; Pension / Retirement benefits; Paid Time Off and Personal/Family Care, and other leaves of absence when needed to support your physical, financial, and emotional well-being.
Thus we avoid duplication.
Schedule: heading Schedule
then with the flexible/hybrid model description.
Now we must ensure we don't include any boilerplate like "We are an equal opportunity employer..." etc. Also remove duplicated lines (none). Also remove "The salary range is indicative for roles at the same level within DTCC across all US locations. Actual salary is determined based on the role, location, individual experience, skills, and other considerations." That's somewhat vague but still substantive? It's more detail about salary determination. However the instruction says never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state salary range indicative etc. That is still pay info. But we already have Pay section with "Competitive compensation, including base pay and annual incentive". Should we also include the sentence about salary range indicative? It adds detail but is somewhat generic. It's not filler like "commensurate with experience". It's actual statement about how salary is determined. I'd include it in Pay section as additional sentence.
Thus Pay section
Competitive compensation, including base pay and annual incentive. The salary range is indicative for roles at the same level within DTCC across all US locations. Actual salary is determined based on the role, location, individual experience, skills, and other considerations.
Now Benefits section with three items.
Now Schedule section DTCC offers a flexible/hybrid model of 3 days onsite and 2 days remote (onsite Tuesdays, Wednesdays and a third day unique to each team or employee).
Now we need to ensure we didn't miss any substantive content: The "Impact You Will Have In This Role" paragraph: "The Impact You Will Have In This Role You will lead the team responsible for engineering and supporting the firm's Linux platform. This is a hands-on leadership role. You'll manage a team of engineers while remaining actively involved in platform design, automation, troubleshooting, and technical decision-making. You'll be responsible for Linux operating system standards, platform automation, modernization, observability, operating system lifecycle management, and
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

thenwith the flexible/hybrid model description. Now we must ensure we don't include any boilerplate like "We are an equal opportunity employer..." etc. Also remove duplicated lines (none). Also remove "The salary range is indicative for roles at the same level within DTCC across all US locations.

Competitive compensation, including base pay and annual incentive. The salary range is indicative for roles at the same level within DTCC across all US locations. Actual salary is determined based on the role, location, individual experience, skills, and other considerations.
Now Benefits section- with three items.
Now Schedule section
DTCC offers a flexible/hybrid model of 3 days onsite and 2 days remote (onsite Tuesdays, Wednesdays and a third day unique to each team or employee).
Now we need to ensure we didn't miss any substantive content: The "Impact You Will Have In This Role" paragraph: "The Impact You Will Have In This Role You will lead the team responsible for engineering and supporting the firm's Linux platform.
