We need to output HTML fragment with sections: Overview? The instructions: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. We need to include sections only when posting has real, specific content. We have Overview (intro) maybe treat as About the role? The overview includes description of company and role. Could be "About the role". We'll include

About the role

with paragraph(s) from overview. Responsibilities: we have a list of responsibilities. Use
  • . Qualifications: includes education and experience details. Could be "Qualifications". Use
    • for each bullet? The qualifications are paragraphs with OR conditions. Might be better to keep as

      but we need list for duties/requirements/benefits. Qualifications is requirements; we can list each bullet as

    • . However the qualifications text is long with OR statements. We could break into separate items: Education options, Experience options, etc. But we must preserve all substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. We can keep as

      for prose if not a list. The instruction: Use

      • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

        for prose. So if qualifications is not a list but prose, we can use

        . However qualifications includes bullet-like list of education options separated by "OR". Might be considered a list? Safer to use

        for qualifications. Skills: maybe not present explicitly; but there is a "Desired:" list under Qualifications. Could treat as Skills section? The instruction says use headings like Skills if there is content. There is a "Desired:" list of items. That could be Skills. We'll create

        Skills

        with
        • for each desired item. Benefits: there is a Benefits section with description. Use

          Benefits

          with

          or

          • . The benefits description includes multiple sentences; we can use

            . Pay and Schedule: not present, so omit. We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. So remove sections like "Clearance Requirement: Active TS/SCI Clearance US Citizen" maybe that's a requirement; it's substantive? It's a clearance requirement, likely part of qualifications. Should we keep? It's a requirement. It's not boilerplate. So we should include it maybe under Qualifications or Requirements. Could add a separate Requirement: Clearance. But we can incorporate into Qualifications as a bullet. Also "Location: Onsite - St. Louis, MO" is metadata; we can fold into a short

            maybe under About the role. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for Principal Developer/Software Engineer. We need to output only HTML fragment. Let's craft:

            About the role

            Then Responsibilities. Then Qualifications (education+experience+clearance). Could be

            with paragraphs. Then Skills (Desired). Then Benefits. We must ensure we preserve all substantive information. Let's extract details.
