We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes "Mission — Why the Job Exists", "What Success Looks Like & What You’ll Do", "What We Are Looking For", "What’s In It For You", "Join Us". Also there is salary range. We need to use

for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). However we can adapt headings to match content: maybe "Mission", "Responsibilities", "Requirements", "Benefits", "Pay". The instruction: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should use those exact headings if appropriate. But we must only include a section when posting has real, specific content for it. So we need to map content to those headings. We have: - Mission — Why the Job Exists: could be "About the role" or maybe "Mission". But they gave examples; we can use "About the role" as heading for mission description. - What Success Looks Like & What You’ll Do: that's responsibilities. So heading "Responsibilities". - What We Are Looking For: that's requirements/qualifications/skills. Could split into "Requirements" and "Qualifications" maybe. But we can combine into "Requirements". However they want separate headings if content exists. We have detailed requirements list. Could put under "Requirements". Could also have "Qualifications" but we don't have separate. Safer to use "Requirements" for all. - What’s In It For You: that's benefits. So heading "Benefits". Also includes salary range: that's Pay. So we need a Pay section. - Join Us: maybe not needed; could be omitted as filler? It's more about company culture; could be considered part of Benefits? But we have separate Benefits and Pay. The "Join Us" section includes culture, remote work, etc. Could be considered part of Benefits? But we already have Benefits; we could add more bullet points there. However the instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine "Join Us" content into Benefits or maybe omit if it's fluff. But it contains info about remote/flexible work hours, competitive compensation, great benefits, etc. Some of that is already covered. Might be okay to include as part of Benefits. We also have Salary range: $50,000 – $60,000 USD. That's Pay. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /. Use

for headings,
  • for lists,

    for prose. We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all details from the posting, but we can format them. We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we need to strip out the EEO statements, E-Verify, accommodation request, etc. Also remove "Learn more at www.descartes.com." maybe considered boilerplate? It's part of company description but not essential to job? Might be considered fluff but it's substantive? It's about company. Could keep as part of About the role? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "Learn more at www.descartes.com." is not EEO; it's just a link. Might be okay to keep? But it's not directly about the job. Might be considered navigation? I'd say remove it as it's not essential job info. Also remove "We’re growing fast and invite you to join our amazing team." maybe fluff but could be part of About the role. Might keep. We need to preserve all substantive information about the job: mission, responsibilities, requirements, benefits, pay, schedule (if any). Schedule not mentioned; remote and flexible work hours mentioned under Join Us. So we could include Schedule section if we have info: remote and flexible work hours. That's schedule info. So we can create a Schedule heading with that detail. Thus sections: About the role (mission), Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to ensure we don't create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content. Now we need to extract content. Let's parse the posting: Company description: "Descartes Unites the People and Technology that Move the World The need for efficient, secure, and agile supply chains and logistics operations has become ever more critical and complex.

Might be considered boilerplate but it's about the company. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. This is not those. So we can keep.
