We need to output HTML fragment with sections only when posting has real specific content. Must use for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Remove boilerplate etc.
We need to extract content: The posting includes location: "Anywhere in Country". Then intro paragraphs about EY. Then "The Opportunity" paragraph. Then "Your Key Responsibilities" list. Then "Skills And Attributes For Success" list. Then "To Qualify for the Role, You Must Have" list. Then "Ideally, You'll Also Have" list. Then "What We Look For" paragraph. Then "What We Offer You At EY" paragraph with salary ranges and benefits. Then more boilerplate about applying etc. We need to remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Also remove application instructions, duplicated lines.
We need to decide which sections to include: About the role (maybe the intro about EY and the opportunity). Responsibilities (Your Key Responsibilities). Requirements (maybe "To Qualify for the Role, You Must Have"). Qualifications (maybe "Ideally, You'll Also Have"? Actually qualifications often separate from requirements. But we can treat "To Qualify for the Role, You Must Have" as Requirements, and "Ideally, You'll Also Have" as Qualifications or Skills? The headings list includes Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have Skills And Attributes For Success (skills). We have salary info (Pay). We have benefits info (What We Offer includes medical, dental, pension, 401k, paid time off). So we can have Benefits section. Pay section: salary ranges. Schedule: not mentioned, so we should not include Schedule heading.
We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not omit details like specific salary ranges per location. Must keep them.
We need to format using

for prose.
We need to decide what goes into each section.
About the role: Could include the introductory paragraphs about EY, The Opportunity paragraph. Possibly also "What We Look For"? But that's more about candidate traits. Might fit under About the role or maybe separate? But we have limited headings; we can put "What We Look For" under About the role as prose.
Responsibilities: list from "Your Key Responsibilities". Each bullet is a sentence; we can make
- items.
Requirements: "To Qualify for the Role, You Must Have" list.
Qualifications: "Ideally, You'll Also Have" list.
Skills: "Skills And Attributes For Success" list.
Benefits: from "What We Offer You At EY" includes medical and dental coverage, pension and 401(k) plans, wide range of paid time off options. Also maybe mention professional growth, personal fulfillment, inclusive culture. We'll include those as benefits.
Pay: salary ranges as described.
We must not include duplicated lines. Ensure we don't include boilerplate like "Learn more at ey.com/us/careers." That's part of What We Offer? Actually it's in that paragraph: "Learn more at ey.com/us/careers." Might be considered boilerplate but it's a link; maybe we keep as it's part of the offer? It's not essential but could be considered navigation. Safer to remove? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. "Learn more at ey.com/us/careers." is navigation/link; could be considered navigation. Might remove. Also "Are you ready to shape your future with confidence? Apply today." is application instruction; remove. Also lines about limiting applications, etc. Remove.
Also remove the long EEO statement at end. Remove the paragraph about EY building a better working world etc. That's boilerplate? It's about company values; might be considered boilerplate but not explicitly listed. However it's generic; could be considered navigation/EEO? It's not EEO but it's about company mission. Might be considered boilerplate but not sure. Safer to remove? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The mission statement is not explicitly listed, but it's generic fluff. Might be considered boilerplate but not disallowed. However to be safe, we could keep it as part of About the role? It's not specific to role. Probably better to omit as it's not substantive role info. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The mission statement is not substantive to the role; it's generic company fluff. Might be considered boilerplate. I'd remove it.
Thus About the role will include: location line? Location: Anywhere in Country. Should we include location? It's substantive. Could be a short paragraph. We'll include location as a paragraph.
Then the intro paragraphs: "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.
Then maybe "What We Look For" paragraph.
We'll combine them into About the role section.
Now we need to ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. No job title given explicitly; it's SOAR Engineering Manager. We'll not repeat.
Now produce HTML.
