We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 headings for sections present: About the role? The posting includes "The Opportunity", "Your Key Responsibilities", "Skills And Attributes For Success", "To Qualify for the Role, You Must Have:", "Ideally, You'll Also Have", "What We Look For", "What We Offer You". Also location line maybe not needed. We need to preserve all substantive info, no boilerplate. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Also remove application instructions like "Apply today", "limit yourself to two applications", etc. Also remove salary? Actually salary is substantive: they gave salary ranges. So we need a Pay section. Benefits: they mention Total Rewards package includes medical and dental coverage, pension and 401(k) plans, and a wide range of paid time off options. So Benefits section. Schedule: not mentioned. So omit Schedule. We need to not repeat job title as heading. The page already shows it, so we don't add heading for Senior SOAR Engineer. We need to use

for section headings. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include details from each section. We need to remove duplicated lines, boilerplate. Let's extract content. First paragraph: "Location: Anywhere in Country 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." This is generic intro; maybe we can include as About the role? Could be considered "About the role" or "About EY". The instruction: use h3 for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have About the role section with that intro. Then "The Opportunity" paragraph: talk about cybersecurity landscape, etc. Could be part of About the role or separate? Might be considered About the role as well. We'll combine into About the role. Then "Your Key Responsibilities" heading: we need Responsibilities section with list. Then "Skills And Attributes For Success": Skills section. Then "To Qualify for the Role, You Must Have:" => Requirements/Qualifications. Could be Qualifications section. Then "Ideally, You'll Also Have": maybe additional qualifications, could be part of Qualifications or Skills? Probably Qualifications (preferred). We'll include as Qualifications. Then "What We Look For": maybe also Qualifications or Skills? It's about top performers; could be Skills? But we already have Skills. Could be Qualifications. We'll treat as Qualifications (maybe as a subsection). But we need to avoid thin sections; we can combine. Then "What We Offer You": includes Benefits and Pay. So we need Benefits and Pay sections. We must not include boilerplate like "Learn more at ey.com/us/careers." That's maybe okay as part of About? It's a link; but it's not substantive? Might be considered navigation? Probably remove. Also remove "Are you ready to shape your future with confidence? Apply today." etc. Also remove "To make the most of your application experience..." etc. Also remove EEO statements at end. Now construct HTML. We'll have:

We could add as a bullet under Qualifications or maybe as a separate section "What We Look For". But instruction: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could incorporate into Qualifications as a bullet. But we already have many bullets; adding another may be okay. However we could incorporate as a paragraph under Qualifications before list? But we need to use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. The "What We Look For" is prose, not a list. Could be a
