We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Let's extract sections: - About the role: The first paragraph: "Meta is looking for a forward-thinking people manager to manage rack capacity planning and delivery, to join the Edge and Network Services (ENS) Foundation organization. In this role, you will lead engineers to improve efficiency, reliability, and risk management via process, systems, and data in some of the largest scale data centers in the world. The right candidate will thrive in a fast-moving organization and enjoy digging into complex operational and reliability challenges in order to implement process and technical system solutions at a global scale. This is a unique opportunity to build and scale a global team. You will develop talent, define operational guardrails, and shape a team centered around ownership, precision, and continuous improvement. In this role, you will own and shape the operations of Meta's next-generation compute infrastructure. This role has direct influence over how we design and deploy the environments that connect our global infrastructure. You will own high-impact scope with visible outcomes. This role blends strategic and hands-on technical leadership. You will drive long-term process and tooling direction while also being close enough to the ground to unblock restoration issues, optimize workflows, and ensure operational performance expectations. This role interfaces with a broad cross functional group of stakeholders, providing the opportunity to influence standards, champion automation, and extend best practices across the subsea ecosystem." That's about the role. - Responsibilities: The bullet list after "Data Center Capacity Manager Responsibilities:" includes many items. We need to capture them as list items. Let's extract each line after that heading: "Provide oversight of the capacity function across multiple sites in a geographical area" "Distribute the capacity workload based on projections, OKRs, and KPIs across skill-sets, people resources, and company priorities" "Work with FieldOps leaders and engineers to ensure on-time delivery with partners of rack SLAs, ensuring throughput objectives are met" "Manage stakeholder communications and represent the team in XFN leadership meetings" "Ensure standard Methods of Procedure (MOPs), Runbooks, standard procedures and practices are consistently followed to achieve successful deployment metrics" "Effectively cascade strategic organizational goals to ensure alignment for team and individual goals" "Cultivate a collaborative and high-performing team and ensure accountability for successful new employee on-boarding" "Build and sustain an effective global organization that can scale for the future and lead by example encouraging team collaboration around the world" "Manage team of engineers responsible for ensuring stable compliant delivery of capacity, including monitoring Key Performance Indicators/Service Level Indicators, triaging incidents, and driving root-cause analysis" "Sustain a proactive highly action oriented team via ongoing engagement around team member responsibilities, priorities, performance expectations, and development planning to optimize an individual's performance" "Attract top talent and fill gaps in the existing team quickly to accommodate growth" "Structure teams and working groups to optimize for delivery of business outcomes, set clear expectations, establish operational guardrails, and build a team emphasizing ownership, collaboration, and continuous improvement" "Create, maintain and enforce Standard Operating Procedures, runbooks, provisioning workflows, and acceptance criteria ensuring all processes adhere to Meta-wide best practices in design, security/compliance, and reliability" "Support internal customers (Production Operations, Network Engineering, Systems Engineering, Logistics, Program Management) and vendors (field engineers, logistics, facilities, and hardware partners), ensuring that capacity delivery meets their needs proactively across global sites" "Own the planning and execution of the organizational-level roadmap and strategy to deliver business outcomes" "Provide root cause analysis and corrective action leadership to resolve issues across infrastructure, architectures and hardware platforms" "Represent the organization and manage interaction with third parties such as hardware, facilities vendors, logistics and managed service partners" "Lead highly cross-functional infrastructure projects and programs in a matrix organization covering a range of areas (data center, production network, infrastructure, logistics, supply chain, compliance, legal, and software system engineering)" "Communicate cross-functionally across various teams, organizations and internal and external stakeholders, at all levels of the organization" "Initiate and lead strategic initiatives driving efficiency, innovation, and standardization of network infrastructure within the data center environment" "Drive improvements in technical references/standards, design processes, and training documentation" "Support automation and tooling initiatives to drive consistency and efficiency in all aspects of infrastructure design, deployment, and operations" "20% domestic and international travel required to data centers managed" That last line about travel could be part of responsibilities or maybe schedule? It's a requirement about travel. Could be placed under Responsibilities or maybe Schedule? The instruction: include Schedule section only if posting actually states schedule. Travel requirement is not schedule (like work hours). So we can keep travel under Responsibilities or maybe a separate note. Probably keep under Responsibilities. - Requirements: The posting has "Minimum Qualifications:" list. That's likely Requirements. Also there are "Preferred Qualifications:" separate. We need sections: Requirements (maybe Minimum Qualifications) and Qualifications (maybe Preferred Qualifications). Also Skills maybe separate? But we can combine. The instruction: Use headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide what goes where. We have: - About the role: as above. - Responsibilities: list above. - Requirements: Minimum Qualifications bullet list. - Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications bullet list. - Skills: maybe we could extract skill-specific items from Minimum or Preferred? But we could also leave Skills empty if not distinct. However we should not create empty sections. So we omit Skills if no specific skill section. - Benefits: The posting mentions "$160,000/year to $223,000/year + bonus + equity + benefits". Also "In addition to base compensation, Meta offers benefits. Learn more about benefits at Meta." So we have benefits mentioned generically. We can include Benefits section with that statement? The rule: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. The posting does state benefits exist, but not specific details. It says "Meta offers benefits. Learn more about benefits at Meta." That's somewhat generic but still states that benefits are offered. Is that considered specific enough? It's not a list of benefits, but it's a statement that benefits exist. The rule says avoid filler/placeholder text like "commensurate with experience". "Meta offers benefits" is not placeholder but still vague. However it's actual content: they say they offer benefits. I'd include Benefits section with that sentence. - Pay: The posting includes salary range: "$160,000/year to $223,000/year + bonus + equity + benefits". Also note about compensation determination. So we can include Pay section with that. - Schedule: Not mentioned besides travel 20% domestic and international. That's not schedule. No explicit schedule like full-time, hours. So we omit Schedule. Now we need to output HTML fragment with

for each section heading, then content:

for prose,

  • for lists. We must not repeat job title. Not include Job ID etc. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include all bullet points from Responsibilities, Minimum Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications. Also include the About the role paragraph(s). Also include Pay and Benefits statements. We need to be careful not to include boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. The posting includes a long EEO statement at the end; we must remove that. Also remove "About Meta:" paragraph? That is about the company, not the role. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "About Meta:" is likely boilerplate about the company; we should remove it. Also the EEO statement after that should be removed. Also remove lines like "Individual compensation is determined by skills, qualifications, experience, and location. Compensation details listed in this posting reflect the base hourly rate, monthly rate, or annual salary only, and do not include bonus, equity or sales incentives, if applicable." That's part of compensation details; we might keep that as part of Pay section? It's substantive about compensation. The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should include that note as part of Pay section. Also "In addition to base compensation, Meta offers benefits. Learn more about benefits at Meta." Keep in Benefits. Now let's craft HTML. Structure:

    About the role

    ... (the paragraph(s) about the role). Might be multiple paragraphs; we can combine into one

    with line breaks? Better to keep as one

    containing the whole text. Ensure we don't lose any sentences. We need to ensure we don't include any trailing spaces. Now Responsibilities:
