We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We need to parse the description. We have: - Description: Application deadline: Sep 30, 2026 (metadata, can be dropped) - Prime Video is seeking an experienced Broadcast Network Engineer for our Live Sports Production Technical Operations team. This role includes network design and implementation to support live production across our expanding Sports portfolio including NFL, NBA, WNBA, NHL, NWSL, and NASCAR as well as support for the design and build-out of new facilities on our Culver City campus. You will be part of the core engineering team responsible for designing, building, and maintaining a state-of-the-art broadcast campus — working alongside systems engineers, broadcast technicians, and architects to design and operate the network infrastructure that powers live sports at scale. As part of the Prime Video team, you will work on projects that are fast-paced, challenging, and varied, with the opportunity to experiment with new possibilities, take risks, and collaborate with exceptional people. That's about the role. So we can have

About the role

with paragraphs. - Key job responsibilities: list bullet points. So

Responsibilities

with
  • ... each bullet. - Basic Qualifications: list bullet points. Could be Requirements or Qualifications. The instruction: Use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide where to put qualifications. Basic Qualifications likely go under Requirements or Qualifications. Preferred Qualifications maybe under Skills? Or Qualifications? The instruction says we can have both Requirements and Qualifications sections if content exists. We have Basic Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. Could split: Requirements = Basic Qualifications, Qualifications = Preferred Qualifications. Or combine. But we need to avoid thin sections. Let's see content: Basic Qualifications includes bullet list of many items. Preferred Qualifications also list. Both are substantive. So we can have two sections: Requirements (Basic Qualifications) and Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications). Or we could have Skills section for technical skills like Cisco, SMPTE ST 2110, etc. But those are already in qualifications. Might be better to have Requirements (Basic) and Qualifications (Preferred). Then Skills maybe not needed. Benefits: The posting mentions benefits: "Amazon also offers comprehensive benefits including health insurance (medical, dental, vision, prescription, Basic Life & AD&D insurance and option for Supplemental life plans, EAP, Mental Health Support, Medical Advice Line, Flexible Spending Accounts, Adoption and Surrogacy Reimbursement coverage), 401(k) matching, paid time off, and parental leave." Also mentions sign-on payments and RSUs. So we have benefits content. So include Benefits section. Pay: The posting includes base salary range: "The base salary range for this position is listed below. Your Amazon package will include sign-on payments and restricted stock units (RSUs). Final compensation will be determined based on factors including experience, qualifications, and location. Amazon also offers comprehensive benefits..." Then later: "USA, , - 127,300.00 - 222,700.00 USD annually". So we have pay info. So include Pay section. Schedule: Not mentioned explicitly. There's willingness to travel up to 50% but not schedule. No explicit schedule like full-time, part-time, shift. So we should not include Schedule section. We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, legal, etc. Also remove application instructions, etc. Also remove "Application deadline: Sep 30, 2026" maybe minor metadata; we can drop or put in short p. The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it. So we could include a short p for Application deadline and maybe Job ID? But better to drop them. We'll just drop. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include all bullet points from responsibilities, basic qualifications, preferred qualifications, benefits, pay. We must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep each bullet as is. We need to format as HTML fragment: use

    for section headings,
    • for lists,

      for prose. We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. Not needed. Let's extract sections. About the role: prose from first paragraph(s). Let's combine: "Prime Video is seeking an experienced Broadcast Network Engineer for our Live Sports Production Technical Operations team. This role includes network design and implementation to support live production across our expanding Sports portfolio including NFL, NBA, WNBA, NHL, NWSL, and NASCAR as well as support for the design and build-out of new facilities on our Culver City campus.

As part of the Prime Video team, you will work on projects that are fast-paced, challenging, and varied, with the opportunity to experiment with new possibilities, take risks, and collaborate with exceptional people." That's one paragraph. Responsibilities: bullet list under "Key job responsibilities". Let's extract each bullet: - Manage daily troubleshooting, maintenance, and implementation of network infrastructure supporting live studio, remote, and on-site productions at our Culver City broadcast campus - Provide on-call network support during live broadcast events — rapidly triage and resolve on-air network incidents across studio, remote, and contribution infrastructure - Support and maintain SMPTE ST 2110, command and control, and out-of-band management broadcast networks - Turn up, troubleshoot and maintain mobile network flypack kits used to connect remote mobile units back to our data center - Configure and maintain network hardware for video, audio, and data workflows — including monitoring, firewall security, and control systems - Create and maintain comprehensive documentation of network designs, configurations, and workflows; deploy timely updates to software and firmware - Evaluate and implement the right technology for each production use case, prioritizing stability and performance - Support global IP-based communication platforms and secure remote contribution networks - Conduct pre-show network verification and readiness checks across all production systems; identify and resolve issues before air - Design and operate with a security-first mindset; collaborate with Amazon Security for architecture reviews, firewall management, and continuous monitoring We need to keep the exact phrasing, including em dashes etc. We'll keep as is.

Benefits: prose: "Amazon also offers comprehensive benefits including health insurance (medical, dental, vision, prescription, Basic Life & AD&D insurance and option for Supplemental life plans, EAP, Mental Health Support, Medical Advice Line, Flexible Spending Accounts, Adoption and Surrogacy Reimbursement coverage), 401(k) matching, paid time off, and parental leave." Also mention sign-on payments and RSUs earlier: "Your Amazon package will include sign-on payments and restricted stock units (RSUs)." We can combine. Pay: prose: "The base salary range for this position is listed below. Your Amazon package will include sign-on payments and restricted stock units (RSUs). Final compensation will be determined based on factors including experience, qualifications, and location." Then the range: "USA, , - 127,300.00 - 222,700.00 USD annually". We'll include that. We need to avoid repeating sign-on payments and RSUs in both Benefits and Pay? It's okay to mention in both if it's in original. But we should not invent. The original mentions sign-on payments and RSUs in the paragraph about base salary range. Benefits paragraph mentions comprehensive benefits etc. So we can keep both. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, equal opportunity, Los Angeles County applicants text, etc. Also remove "Amazon is an equal opportunity employer..." etc. Also remove "Our inclusive culture empowers Amazonians..." etc. Also remove "If you have a disability..." etc. Also remove "If the country/region you’re applying in isn’t listed..." etc. Also remove "Learn more about our benefits at https://amazon.jobs/en/benefits." (that's a link, but it's part of benefits? It's a link to learn more; but it's still substantive? It's a reference; but it's not essential detail; but it's not boilerplate? It's a link to benefits page; could be considered navigation? Might be considered boilerplate. Safer to drop it. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The link to benefits is maybe navigation; but it's part of benefits description. However it's a link to learn more; could be considered navigation. I'd drop it. Also drop "Company - Amazon.com Services LLC Job ID: A10560919". That's metadata; we can drop or put in short p. We'll drop. Now construct HTML. We'll have:
