Build Engineer - Costco Travel
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections that have real specific content. The posting includes description about company, role description, responsibilities (list), required qualifications, recommended skills, benefits, pay range. No schedule info. So we should have sections: About the role (maybe from intro paragraphs), Responsibilities (list), Requirements (list), Qualifications/Skills? The instructions: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We can combine Qualifications and Skills maybe separate. We have Required and Recommended sections. Could map Required to Requirements, Recommended to Skills. Also we have Benefits and Pay.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: EEO, accommodation request, proof of authorization, etc. Also remove "Costco Travel IT is responsible..." etc? That's substantive about company, we can keep as About the role.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include the details from the posting: company description, role description, responsibilities list, required qualifications list, recommended skills list, benefits list, pay range.
We must not include duplicated lines. Ensure we don't include cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Remove lines about equal opportunity, accommodation request, proof of authorization, etc. Also remove "Costco is committed to a diverse and inclusive workplace." That's EEO boilerplate; remove. Also remove "Qualified applicants will receive consideration..." etc. Remove "If you need assistance..." etc. Remove "If hired, you will be required to provide proof of authorization..." etc.
Also remove "Costco Travel IT is responsible for the technical future of Costco Wholesale , the third largest retailer in the world with wholesale operations in fourteen countries. Despite our size and explosive international expansion, we continue to provide a family, employee centric atmosphere..." That's substantive about company; keep.
Also "Come join the Costco Travel IT family . Costco IT is a dynamic, fast-paced environment..." Keep.

Company description paragraph(s): "Costco Travel IT is responsible for the technical future of Costco Wholesale , the third largest retailer in the world with wholesale operations in fourteen countries. Despite our size and explosive international expansion, we continue to provide a family, employee centric atmosphere in which our employees thrive and succeed.

Now Pay: "Pay Ranges Level 3 - $130,000 - $160,000". We'll output as
Pay Range: Level 3 - $130,000 - $160,000
maybe. Now ensure we don't include any boilerplate: remove EEO, accommodation request, proof of authorization, etc. Now produce HTML fragment. We must not include markdown fences. Just raw HTML. Let's craft. We'll have:About the role
