We need to output HTML fragment only, with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real content. The posting includes: Position Overview (we can treat as About the role). Key Responsibilities (Responsibilities). Required Qualifications (Qualifications). Preferred Qualifications (maybe also Qualifications? Could combine? But we can have Qualifications section containing both required and preferred? The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. So we need to decide which sections we have content for. We have About the role: Position Overview paragraph. Responsibilities: Key Responsibilities bullet list. Qualifications: Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. Skills: Not explicitly separate; maybe we could infer from qualifications but better not to create if not explicit. The posting does not have a separate Skills section. So we should not create Skills. Benefits: listed. Pay: Not mentioned. So omit. Schedule: Not mentioned (though hybrid position based in Vienna, VA indicates location but not schedule). So omit. Requirements: Could be same as Qualifications? The instruction includes Requirements as a possible heading. But we have Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. Could map Required Qualifications to Requirements, and Preferred Qualifications to Qualifications? Or combine both under Qualifications. Safer: Use Requirements for required qualifications, and Qualifications for preferred? But the instruction says use headings e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. It doesn't forbid using both Requirements and Qualifications. We'll include Requirements (required) and Qualifications (preferred). Or we could combine both under Qualifications and omit Requirements. Which is better? The posting has both required and preferred; we could put required under Requirements and preferred under Qualifications. That seems logical. Thus sections: About the role (h3), Responsibilities (h3), Requirements (h3), Qualifications (h3), Benefits (h3). No Skills, Pay, Schedule. We need to use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For prose use

    . For headings use

    . We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, accommodations, etc. Also remove navigation, cookie, legal, duplicated lines, application instructions. The posting includes a paragraph about SteerBridge being an Equal Opportunity Employer etc. That's boilerplate; remove. Also remove "If you would like information about how your application is processed, please contact us." etc. Also remove "SteerBridge is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer..." etc. Also remove "If you require assistance during the application process..." etc. Also remove any duplicated lines (none visible). We need to keep all substantive info: company overview, position overview, responsibilities bullet points, required qualifications bullet points, preferred qualifications bullet points, benefits list. We need to format as HTML fragment. Let's extract content. Company overview paragraph: "SteerBridge is a modern technology company delivering innovative, mission‑focused solutions to the U.S. Government and private sector. Leveraging deep expertise in federal acquisition, digital transformation, and emerging technologies, we deliver agile, commercial‑grade capabilities that accelerate operational effectiveness and drive measurable mission success. At the core of SteerBridge is our people—especially the veterans whose leadership, problem‑solving mindset, and commitment to excellence elevate every project we support. We don’t simply hire exceptional talent; we cultivate it, creating meaningful career pathways for veterans, military spouses, and professionals who share our passion for advancing technology and strengthening the missions we serve." Position Overview: "SteerBridge is seeking a Cloud Solutions Architect to design the secure, scalable AWS GovCloud architecture behind a mission-critical Defense Aviation platform used by federal customers. This role owns the technical blueprint for environments that support fleet readiness monitoring, maintenance planning, logistics coordination, and operational decision-making. The architect will work directly with engineers, security architects, data scientists, and product owners to translate mission requirements into well-architected cloud solutions that are secure, resilient, compliant, and cost-effective. Unlike a purely advisory role, this position stays close to implementation. The ideal candidate can produce architecture and design documentation, prototype solutions, set standards for infrastructure as code, and guide engineering teams through delivery. SteerBridge applies proven patterns—well-architected design, hardened and STIG-aligned baselines, Medallion data architecture, and automated CI/CD to deliver platforms that meet DoD security and authorization expectations. The architect ensures these patterns are applied consistently across the environment. This is a hybrid position based in Vienna, VA." We could combine company overview and position overview under About the role. Probably better to have About the role include both paragraphs. Responsibilities: Key Responsibilities bullet list: - Solution Architecture and Design - Design secure, scalable AWS GovCloud architectures for aviation analytics and operational workloads - Produce architecture diagrams, design documents, and technical decision records - Define standards for networking, identity, compute, storage, and data services - Apply AWS Well-Architected principles across reliability, security, performance efficiency, and cost - Evaluate trade-offs and make technology selections aligned with mission and compliance needs - Security and Compliance by Design - Embed least-privilege IAM, encryption, segmentation, and hardened baselines into every design - Partner with security architects to align solutions with DoD and DISA frameworks and authorization requirements - Design for auditability, logging, and continuous monitoring from the outset - Implementation Guidance - Set standards for infrastructure as code and CI/CD pipelines - Guide and review engineering implementation to ensure fidelity to the design - Prototype and validate new patterns and services before broad adoption - Lead architecture and design reviews - Collaboration and Strategy - Translate mission and product requirements into technical roadmaps - Partner with data teams to align platform architecture with Medallion data patterns - Advise stakeholders and subject matter experts on cloud strategy, modernization, and risk We need to preserve all bullet points. Use
    • . Could nest? The instruction: Use
      • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. It doesn't forbid nested lists, but we can keep flat list with each bullet as
      • . However the original has headings within responsibilities (Solution Architecture and Design etc). Those are subheadings; we could keep them as or just include as part of
      • text. Probably better to keep them as part of
      • text, maybe using for emphasis. But we must not invent formatting beyond HTML; using is okay. However the instruction only mentions using

        ,
        • ,

          . It doesn't forbid other tags, but to be safe we can just include the subheading as plain text within

        • . Eg:
        • Solution Architecture and Design - Design secure, scalable AWS GovCloud architectures for aviation analytics and operational workloads
        • but that may be messy. Simpler: keep each bullet as separate
        • and include the subheading as part of the bullet text. Eg:
        • Solution Architecture and Design: Design secure, scalable AWS GovCloud architectures for aviation analytics and operational workloads
        • . Then next bullet:
        • Produce architecture diagrams, design documents, and technical decision records
        • etc. That loses the grouping but preserves all info. Could also keep subheading as its own
        • without colon? Might be okay. We'll produce a flat list. Similarly for Required Qualifications: list each bullet. Required Qualifications bullets: - U.S. Citizenship required - 6+ years of cloud experience, including 3+ years in an architecture or lead engineering role - Deep expertise designing AWS solutions across compute, networking, storage, and IAM - Strong command of the AWS Well-Architected Framework and secure cloud design patterns - Experience with infrastructure as code (Terraform or CloudFormation) and CI/CD at scale - Strong understanding of cloud security, identity, and network segmentation - Ability to produce clear architecture documentation and present to technical and non-technical audiences - Experience leading delivery across multidisciplinary teams Preferred Qualifications bullets: - Experience architecting in AWS GovCloud or other federal or regulated environments - Familiarity with DoD and DISA compliance, STIG hardening, and ATO and authorization processes - Experience with data platform and Medallion data architecture for analytics workloads - Experience with deploying containerized application workloads, hybrid networking and DNS - AWS Professional-level certification such as Solutions Architect Professional - Experience supporting aviation, defense, logistics, or fleet management systems Benefits list: - Health insurance - Dental insurance - Vision insurance - Life Insurance - 401(k) Retirement Plan with matching - Paid Time Off - Paid Federal Holidays We need to ensure we preserve capitalization etc. Now produce HTML:
