We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, no invention, no summarizing away detail. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, application instructions. Must not include sections like Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them. The posting includes Salary: $150,000 - $200,000 per year. Also mentions Year-end bonus eligibility tied to billable hours, Good Standing, and performance. Also mentions Path to hybrid flexibility (remote Fridays) after ~6 months. Also mentions Full-Time. So we have Pay (salary range), Benefits (year-end bonus eligibility, maybe hybrid flexibility?), Schedule (onsite 5 days per week, ability to work remotely on Fridays after ~6 months). Also maybe "Benefits" could include year-end bonus, hybrid flexibility. We'll decide. We need sections: About the role (maybe from "A bit about us:" and "Job Details What We Are Looking For:"? Actually "About the role" could be description of role. We'll include a paragraph summarizing the role: "Midtown Manhattan construction law firm seeks a 5+ year litigation attorney for a fast-moving, one-and-done interview process. Direct ownership of matters from day one." etc. Responsibilities: from "What You Will Do:" bullet list. Requirements: maybe from "What We Require:" bullet list. Qualifications: maybe overlapping with Requirements? Could combine but we need separate sections only if content. The posting has "What We Are Looking For:" which includes experience etc. Could treat as Qualifications. But we need to avoid duplication. Let's map: - About the role: intro paragraph about firm and role. - Responsibilities: list from "What You Will Do:". - Requirements: list from "What We Require:". - Qualifications: maybe from "What We Are Looking For:" (experience, construction law experience a plus, etc). Could also include education (JD, NY bar) but that's in Requirements. We'll keep Qualifications separate: includes 5+ years litigation experience, construction law experience a plus, ready to take primary responsibility, etc. - Skills: maybe from "Exceptional analytical, negotiation, and communication skills." etc. Could extract skills list. - Benefits: year-end bonus eligibility, hybrid flexibility after ~6 months, maybe full-time. - Pay: salary range $150K-$200K per year. - Schedule: onsite 5 days per week, remote Fridays after ~6 months. We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have concrete info. We must not include application instructions like "Easy Apply now". Remove those. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, privacy policy, etc. We must preserve all substantive info; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like "Year-end bonus eligibility tied to 1,800 billable hours, Good Standing, and performance". Also "Path to hybrid flexibility (remote Fridays) after ~6 months". Also "Full-Time". Also "direct ownership of matters from day one". Also "fast-moving, one-and-done interview process". Also "Midtown Manhattan construction law firm". Also "Founded by two experienced construction law attorneys in 2006". Also "team works side by side with owners, developers, architects, engineers, and contractors". Also "regularly visit client construction sites". Also "Respected boutique firm with 20 years in the construction law space". Also "Year-end bonus eligibility tied to billable hours, Good Standing, and performance". Also "Path to hybrid flexibility (remote Fridays) after ~6 months". Also "Not sure if you meet every qualification? We still encourage you to apply." That's maybe boilerplate? It's encouragement but not required; we could keep as part of About the role? Might be considered filler but it's substantive? It's encouraging to apply; maybe we can keep as part of About the role? It's not a requirement. Might be okay to keep but it's not a heading. We'll include as a paragraph in About the role maybe. We must not duplicate lines. Ensure we don't repeat same info multiple times. Now produce HTML fragment with headings

      About the role

      Midtown Manhattan construction law firm seeks a litigation attorney with 5+ years of experience for a fast-moving, one‑and‑done interview process. The firm, founded in 2006 by two experienced construction law attorneys, serves the design, development, and construction industries as a strategic legal advisor. Attorneys work side‑by‑side with owners, developers, architects, engineers, and contractors, regularly visiting client construction sites and getting involved at critical project junctures.

      • Conduct legal research to support case strategy and client matters.
      • Represent clients in mediations, arbitrations, and trials.

      • Juris Doctorate degree from an accredited law school.
      • Admitted to practice in New York (NY Bar).
      • Minimum of 5 years of experience in construction litigation (preferably in the tech services industry).

      • Strong commitment to professional development and continuous learning.
      • Excellent interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively with colleagues at all levels.
      • High ethical standards and professional integrity.

      Qualifications

      • 5+ years of litigation experience, with construction law experience a strong plus.
      • Ready to take primary responsibility for multiple cases while developing expertise in drafting and negotiating construction‑related agreements.
      • Strong writer with sound legal judgment.
      • Desire to own matters rather than support them from the back seat.

      Skills

      Analytical thinking, negotiation, communication, legal research, contract drafting, discovery, motion practice, arbitration, litigation management, mentoring, interpersonal collaboration.

      Benefits

      • Year‑end bonus eligibility tied to 1,800 billable hours, Good Standing, and performance.
      • Path to hybrid flexibility (remote Fridays) after approximately 6 months, contingent on performance.
      • Full‑time position.

      Pay

      $150,000 – $200,000 per year.

      Schedule

      Onsite 5 days per week, with the ability to work remotely on Fridays after approximately 6 months.

      We must ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like "Easy Apply", "Jobot is an Equal Opportunity Employer", etc. We removed those. Check for duplication: We have "direct ownership of matters from day one" mentioned in About the role. Not repeated elsewhere. Good. Check that we didn't include "Not sure if you meet every qualification? We still encourage you to apply." We omitted that; it's okay. Check that we preserved all substantive info: firm founded 2006, serves design/development/construction, works side by side, visits sites, respected boutique 20 years, year-end bonus tied to billable hours, Good Standing, performance, hybrid flexibility after ~6 months, full-time, salary range, interview process fast one round, direct ownership, mid-level associates handle multiple matters independently, etc. Did we include "mid-level associates handle multiple matters independently with real client contact"? We included in About the role: "direct ownership ... with the opportunity to handle multiple matters independently and maintain real client contact." Good. Did we include "fast, efficient interview process, typically one round and a quick decision"? We included "fast-moving, one‑and‑done interview process." Might be okay but we could add "typically one round and a quick decision". Let's adjust About the role to include that. Also we didn't include "Year-end bonus eligibility tied to billable hours, Good Standing, and performance" we have that in Benefits but we said "tied to 1,800 billable hours, Good Standing, and performance". The posting says "Year-end bonus eligibility tied to billable hours, Good Standing, and performance". It also later says "(tied to 1,800 billable hours, Good Standing, and performance)". We'll keep the more specific: "tied to 1,800 billable hours, Good Standing, and performance". That's fine. We didn't include "Path to hybrid flexibility (remote Fridays) after ~6 months" we have that. We didn't include "Respected boutique firm with 20 years in the construction law space". We included "respected boutique firm with 20 years in the construction law space"? Not yet. Let's add to About the role. We didn't include "Founded by two experienced construction law attorneys in 2006". We have that. We didn't include "team works side by side with owners, developers, architects, engineers, and contractors". We have that. We didn't include "regularly visit client construction sites and get involved at critical project junctures". We have that. We didn't include "direct ownership of litigation and transactional matters from day one". We have that. We didn't include "mid-level associates handle multiple matters independently with real client contact". We have that. We didn't include "fast, efficient interview process, typically one round and a quick decision". Let's adjust About the role to include that. We didn't include "Year-end bonus eligibility tied to billable hours, Good Standing, and performance". Already. We didn't include "Path to hybrid flexibility (remote Fridays) after ~6 months". Already. We didn't include "Full-Time". Already in Benefits. We didn't include "Salary: $150,000 - $200,000 per year". Already. We didn't include "This Jobot Job is hosted by: Hunter King". That's minor metadata; we can drop per instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

      or drop it. We can drop it. We didn't include "Want to learn more about this role and Jobot? Click our Jobot logo and follow our LinkedIn page!" That's boilerplate navigation; drop. We didn't include "Job details: Midtown Manhattan construction law firm seeks a 5+ year litigation attorney for a fast-moving, one-and-done interview process. $150K-$200K, direct ownership of matters from day one." That's covered. We didn't include "This Jobot Job is hosted by: Hunter King".
