Data Center Network Security Engineer- Cook (Information System Analyst II, Opt. N)

We need to output HTML fragment with sections only when content present. The posting includes: - Intro paragraph: "Are you looking for a rewarding career..." etc. That's prose. - Benefits: list of benefits (Competitive Group Insurance..., Flexible work schedules..., etc). So Benefits section. - Essential Functions: list of duties (complex hardware and software installations...). So Responsibilities or Essential Functions. Use heading like "Responsibilities" or "Essential Functions"? The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can use "Responsibilities" for essential functions. - Minimum Qualifications: list of qualifications. Use "Qualifications" or "Requirements". Probably "Qualifications". Also there is "Preferred Qualifications". Could combine? Might have separate sections: "Minimum Qualifications" and "Preferred Qualifications". But instruction: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine both under "Qualifications". But we need to preserve all substantive info. Could have a Qualifications section with subheadings? Not allowed; only h3 headings. Could have two sections: "Minimum Qualifications" and "Preferred Qualifications". Both are substantive. That's okay. - Skills: there is "Specialized Skills" list. Could be a "Skills" section. - Conditions of Employment: maybe not a standard heading; could be omitted? It's substantive but not in list of allowed headings. Could we include as "Requirements"? Might be considered part of qualifications. But it's conditions like background check, travel, etc. Could be placed under "Requirements". The instruction: use headings from list; we can also use other headings? It says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It implies we should use those headings when appropriate, but not limited? Probably we should stick to those. Conditions of Employment could go under "Requirements". But we already have Qualifications. Might be better to have a "Requirements" section for conditions (background check, travel, ability to lift, etc). And keep "Qualifications" for education/experience. However we have both Minimum and Preferred Qualifications; we could put them under "Qualifications". Then Conditions under "Requirements". Skills under "Skills". Benefits under "Benefits". Responsibilities under "Responsibilities". About the role maybe not needed; we have intro paragraph. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The posting includes some fluff at end about DoIT description, diversity statement. That's boilerplate? It's organizational description; maybe keep as part of "About the role"? But instruction: remove duplicated lines, cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. The diversity statement maybe not boilerplate but could be considered EEO. Safer to remove it. Also the final paragraph about DoIT description maybe not required; but it's substantive about organization. Could keep as part of "About the role". However we are not to create About the role unless there is real specific content. There is a paragraph: "The Department of Innovation & Technology (DoIT) is seeking to hire qualified candidates with the opportunity to work in a dynamic, creative thinking, problem solving environment." That's about role. Also later: "The Department of Innovation & Technology (DolT) is the state's IT agency..." That's also about organization. Could combine into About the role. We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we must keep all details from benefits, essential functions, qualifications, skills, conditions. We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must not include application instructions (like "For more information regarding State of Illinois Benefits follow this link:" that's a link; but it's part of benefits description? It's a link for more info; maybe we can keep as part of benefits? It's a link; but it's not boilerplate; it's a reference. Could keep as part of benefits paragraph. We must not include duplicated lines. There's duplication: Essential Functions repeats earlier description. We need to keep but not duplicate same sentences? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove duplicated lines. So we should deduplicate identical sentences. The Essential Functions repeats the earlier paragraph about performing complex hardware... etc. We should keep only one instance. Similarly, Minimum Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications have overlapping content; but they are not identical; Preferred Qualifications repeats Minimum Qualifications plus extra items. We need to keep both sets but avoid duplicate lines that are identical. The Preferred Qualifications list includes the same three bullet points as Minimum Qualifications (the first three). So we should not repeat those identical lines; we can list Minimum Qualifications then Preferred Qualifications additional items only. However we need to preserve all substantive info; if we omit the repeated lines, we lose that info but it's still present in Minimum Qualifications. So it's okay. Similarly, Skills (Specialized Skills) list duplicates many of the same items as Minimum/Preferred Qualifications. Actually Specialized Skills list is essentially the same as Minimum Qualifications? Let's compare: Specialized Skills includes: - three (3) years of professional experience in data center network security, including designing, implementing, documenting and maintaining secure architectures for on-premises and cloud environments in alignment with organizational and regulatory security standards, including experience with formal change control processes, configuration management and audit-ready documentation. - three (3) years of professional experience with enterprise firewall administration, including configuration, testing, maintenance, upgrades, and hardening of diverse firewall models (e.g. Palo/Cisco) to safeguard critical infrastructure, as well as implementing vendor-recommended firmware/software updates, coordinating vendor support, and resolving production incidents in high-availability environments. - three (3) years of professional experience with OSI Model Layers 1 through 7, network diagnostic tool integration, packet analyzers, and complex network troubleshooting, including administration of enterprise security systems and traffic analysis using tools including Wireshark and Panorama and participation in incident response, root cause analysis and SLA-driven break/fix operations using enterprise monitoring platforms. - three (3) years of professional experience with data center and cloud network security architecture, including micro-segmentation technologies, application load balancers, traffic management and internet/content filtering solutions supporting muti-tiered applications, including capacity planning, performance optimization, vulnerability assessment, and collaboration with stakeholders to define secure architecture requirements. That's essentially the same as Minimum Qualifications (which had four items). Minimum Qualifications list: - Requires knowledge, skill, and mental development equivalent to completion of four (4) years of college with course work in computer science or directly related fields. - Requires three (3) years of professional experience in Network Services or a related Information Technology field. - Specialized Skills (then the four bullet points). Actually the posting: Minimum Qualifications section includes: "Minimum Qualifications Requires knowledge, skill, and mental development equivalent to completion of four (4) years of college with course work in computer science or directly related fields. Requires three (3) years of professional experience in Network Services or a related Information Technology field. Specialized Skills Requires three (3) years of professional experience in data center network security, ..." So the Specialized Skills is a subsection under Minimum Qualifications. Then Preferred Qualifications repeats similar items plus extra. Thus we need to structure: - About the role (intro paragraph maybe plus DoIT description) - Responsibilities (Essential Functions) - Qualifications (Minimum Qualifications: education, Network Services experience, plus maybe we keep Specialized Skills as part of Qualifications? Could be separate Skills section.) - Skills (Specialized Skills) maybe separate. - Preferred Qualifications (additional preferred items) - Benefits - Requirements (Conditions of Employment) We must avoid thin sections. Each should have substantive content. Let's extract content. Intro paragraph: "Are you looking for a rewarding career with an organization that values their staff? The Department of Innovation & Technology (DoIT) is seeking to hire qualified candidates with the opportunity to work in a dynamic, creative thinking, problem solving environment. This position serves as a Data Center Network Security Engineer- Sangamon County for the DoIT, in performing complex hardware and software installations, designing specifications, developing, and modifying secure Data Center network communications, including related security components.

If you possess these knowledges, skills, abilities, and experience, we invite you to apply for this position to join the DoIT Team!" We can keep that as About the role. Benefits: list after "As a State of Illinois employee, you receive a comprehensive benefits package including:" then bullet list. We need to format as

• for each benefit. Benefits list: - Competitive Group Insurance benefits including health, life, dental and vision plans - Flexible work schedules (when available and dependent upon position) - 10-25 days of paid vacation time annually (10 days for first year of state employment) - 12 days of paid sick time annually which carryover year to year - 3 paid personal business days per year - 13-14 paid holidays per year dependent on election years - 12 weeks of paid parental leave - Pension plan through the State Employees Retirement System - Deferred Compensation Program – voluntary supplemental retirement plan - Optional pre-tax programs -Medical Care Assistance Plan (MCAP) & Dependent Care Assistant Plan (DCAP) - Tuition Reimbursement Program and Federal Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program eligibility - For more information regarding State of Illinois Benefits follow this link: https://www2.illinois.gov/cms/benefits/Pages/default.aspx We should keep the link as a line maybe within a
• or as a

  after list. Probably as a

• with link. Essential Functions (Responsibilities): The paragraph after "Essential Functions Under administrative direction, serves as a Data Center Network Security Engineer for Sangamon County for the Department of Innovation & Technology (DoIT) performing complex hardware and software installations, designing specifications, developing, and modifying secure Data Center network communications, including related security components.
