Backend Software Engineer 3 - Reston Hybrid 2 Days - FreeWheel

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we need to use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include only sections that have real specific content. Let's parse the posting. Job Summary: description about FreeWheel, role location New York. That could be "About the role" or maybe "Job Summary". The instruction says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can use About the role for the summary. Responsibilities: there is a big block under "Responsibilities Job Description Development ...". Also "Core Responsibilities". So we can combine into Responsibilities section with list items. Requirements/Qualifications: There's "About You / Qualifications" block with bullet-like sentences. Also "Employees At All Levels Are Expected To Understand our Operating Principles;" etc. That's more like company values, maybe not qualifications. We'll treat the qualifications as the bullet list after "About You / Qualifications". Also "Education Bachelor's Degree" and "Relevant Work Experience 5-7 Years". Those are qualifications. Skills: there is a line "Skills C++ Programming Language; Collaboration; Structured Query Language (SQL); Back-End Development". That's a skills list. Pay: there is "Salary Virginia Pay Range: $120,212.52 - $180,318.78". Also mention base pay etc. So we have Pay info. Benefits: there is paragraph about benefits: "Additionally, Comcast provides best-in-class Benefits to eligible employees. We believe that benefits should connect you...". That's benefits description. Schedule: there is mention "Must be able to work nights and weekends, variable schedule(s) as necessary." That's schedule info. We need to avoid boilerplate: EEO, disclaimer, application window, etc. Remove those. We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

  for prose. We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to output only HTML fragment. Let's structure:

  Check for any leftover boilerplate: We removed EEO, disclaimer, application window, etc. Also removed "Employees At All Levels Are Expected To Understand our Operating Principles;" etc. That is actually part of company values; but it's not a qualification per se. It could be considered part of "About You / Qualifications"? The posting includes that block after qualifications. It's more like corporate expectations. Should we include? It's substantive but not a qualification. The instruction: include a section only when posting has real, specific content for it. Could we include a section like "Company Expectations"? Not in allowed headings list. The allowed headings are limited to those examples. So we should not create a new heading. We could fold that into Qualifications or About the role? Probably better to omit as it's not directly a qualification. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. If we omit that block, we lose some substantive info. But we could incorporate it into Qualifications as a bullet? It's not a qualification but maybe we can include under Qualifications as a bullet about understanding operating principles. However the heading "Qualifications" is allowed. The content about operating principles could be considered a qualification/ expectation. It's not explicitly a qualification but could be included. The instruction says do not invent or summarize away detail. If we put it under Qualifications, we are not inventing; we are placing it there. It's still present. So we could add a bullet: "Understand and apply Comcast's Operating Principles: own the customer experience, know your stuff, win as a team, be an active part of the Net Promoter System, drive results and growth, support a culture of inclusion, do what's right for each other, our customers, investors and our communities." That is a lot of text. Might be okay. But we need to check if we already have a Qualifications section with many bullets. Adding more is fine. Let's incorporate that block into Qualifications. The block: "Employees At All Levels Are Expected To Understand our Operating Principles; make them the guidelines for how you do your job.Own the customer experience think and act in ways that put our customers first, give them seamless digital options at every touchpoint, and make them promoters of our products and services.Know your stuff be enthusiastic learners, users and advocates of our game-changing technology, products and services, especially our digital tools and experiences.Win as a team make big things happen by working together and being open to new ideas.Be an active part of the Net Promoter System a way of working that brings more employee and customer feedback into the company by joining huddles, making call backs and helping us elevate opportunities to do better for our customers.Drive results and growth.Support a culture of inclusion in how you work and lead.Do what's right for each other, our customers, investors and our communities." We need to split into readable bullets or a paragraph. Since we use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. This is a list of expectations, could be a list. We'll make each sentence a bullet. Let's extract sentences: - Own the customer experience think and act in ways that put our customers first, give them seamless digital options at every touchpoint, and make them promoters of our products and services. - Know your stuff be enthusiastic learners, users and advocates of our game-changing technology, products and services, especially our digital tools and experiences. - Win as a team make big things happen by working together and being open to new ideas. - Be an active part of the Net Promoter System a way of working that brings more employee and customer feedback into the company by joining huddles, making call backs and helping us elevate opportunities to do better for our customers. - Drive results and growth. - Support a
