We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes location line, then intro paragraphs, then "The Opportunity", then "Your Key Responsibilities", then "Skills And Attributes For Success", then "To qualify for the role, you must have:" (qualifications), then "Ideally, you’ll also have" (preferred), then "What We Look For", then "What We Offer You", then salary range, then benefits. We must use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. However we should only include sections when posting has real specific content. We need to map content to these headings. - About the role: Could be the introductory paragraph(s) describing role. The posting has "Location: Anywhere in Country At EY, we’re all in to shape your future...". That's generic. Could treat as About the role. - Responsibilities: "Your Key Responsibilities" section. - Requirements: maybe "To qualify for the role, you must have:" (mandatory qualifications). Could be Requirements. - Qualifications: maybe "Ideally, you’ll also have" (preferred). Could be Qualifications. - Skills: "Skills And Attributes For Success". Could be Skills. - Benefits: "What We Offer You" includes benefits description (medical, dental, pension, 401(k), paid time off). Also includes salary range (Pay). So Benefits section for non-pay benefits. - Pay: salary range details. - Schedule: Not provided (travel up to 80% maybe schedule? but schedule is not explicit. Should not create Schedule unless posting states it. It mentions travel up to 80 percent, but not schedule like full-time/part-time. Probably omit Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The posting includes "Are you ready to shape your future with confidence? Apply today..." and application instructions. We must remove application instructions. Also remove "To make the most of your application experience..." etc. Also remove "EY accepts applications..." etc. Also remove "For those living in California, please click here..." etc. We must preserve all substantive information. Thus we need to extract: Location line: "Location: Anywhere in Country". Might be considered metadata; we can fold into short

or drop. Probably include as a short paragraph. Intro paragraph: "At EY, we’re all in to shape your future with confidence. We’ll help you succeed in a globally connected powerhouse of diverse teams and take your career wherever you want it to go. Join EY and help to build a better working world." Then "The Opportunity" paragraph: "Cyber threats, social media, artificial intelligence, privacy requirements, and continuity of the business as usual require heavy information security measures. As a Senior Attack & Penetration Tester, you will contribute to our client’s resilience through the execution of sophisticated offensive security operations." We could combine into About the role. Responsibilities: list bullet points from "Your Key Responsibilities". Let's extract them: - plan, lead, and execute complex penetration testing and advanced red team engagements across diverse client environments. - apply an intelligence-led, threat-informed approach to emulate realistic adversary behaviors, identify exploitable attack paths, and evaluate preventive, detective, and responsive security controls. - work will span external and internal networks, Active Directory, Microsoft Entra ID, web and mobile applications, APIs, cloud environments, wireless networks, social engineering, and physical security scenarios, as permitted by the rules of engagement. - translate technical testing results into clear, actionable insights for technical and executive audiences. - work collaboratively with client technical teams to validate identified weaknesses and develop practical remediation or mitigation strategies, including Active Directory security improvements, system-hardening measures, and compensating controls aligned with the client environment and operational constraints. - lead technical workstreams, coordinate testing activities, mentor junior team members, contribute to methodology and capability development, and remain current on emerging vulnerabilities, adversary tactics, offensive security tooling, and industry research. We need to put these in
