On-siteInformation TechnologyFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule as appropriate. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate. Must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We need to parse the posting. The posting includes: - About The Role: paragraph describing role. - Work model: description of onsite position, location San Antonio, TX, 5 days a week, etc. This is about schedule/work model. Could be placed under Schedule or maybe a separate section? According to rules, we have Schedule section if posting actually states schedule. It says "Based on this role's business requirements, this is an onsite position requiring 5 days a week in a client or Cognizant office in San Antonio, TX." That's schedule info. So we can create a Schedule section with that. - What You Need To Have To Be Considered: list of requirements (experience, skills). This could be Requirements section. Also includes "These will help you stand out" which are qualifications/preferred qualifications. Could be Qualifications or Skills. We need to decide sections: About the role (h3), Responsibilities (h3), Requirements (h3), Qualifications (h3), Skills (h3), Benefits (h3), Pay (h3), Schedule (h3). Only include sections with real content. We have responsibilities: many bullet-like sentences in About The Role paragraph? Actually the "About The Role" paragraph includes many duty sentences: "You will make an impact by supporting critical data center infrastructure..." then list of tasks: "In this role, you will Install, terminate, label, test, and maintain copper..." etc. Those are responsibilities. So we can extract responsibilities list. We also have "Work model" which is schedule. We have "What You Need To Have To Be Considered" which includes required experience and skills. Could be Requirements. We have "These will help you stand out" which are preferred qualifications (degree, experience, knowledge, familiarity). Could be Qualifications. We have no explicit Benefits, Pay info. So we should not create those sections. Thus sections: About the role (maybe we keep as introductory paragraph), Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Schedule. Check if any other sections like Skills: we could embed skills in Requirements/Qualifications. But we could also create Skills section if we have explicit skill list. The posting includes skills like copper/fiber cabling, server deployment, troubleshooting, remote management tools, Windows OS, Microsoft Office, analytical, communication, ability to lift, driver's license. Those could be Skills. However we already have Requirements covering experience; Skills could be separate. But we must not create thin sections. Let's see if we can combine. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we should aim for maybe 3-4 sections. We could have: - About the role (intro paragraph) - Responsibilities (list of duties) - Requirements & Qualifications (combined) maybe as Requirements (includes both required and preferred). But we need to preserve all info; we can list required bullet points and then a "Preferred qualifications" sublist? But we must use
  • for any list. Could have two lists under same heading? Might be okay but better to separate. We could have: - Responsibilities - Requirements (required) - Preferred Qualifications (or Qualifications) - Schedule That's four sections. Check if any content about Benefits/Pay: none. Now we need to extract content precisely, preserving all substantive information, not inventing or summarizing away detail. Let's parse the text. Original: "About The Role As a Data Center Technician, you will make an impact by supporting critical data center infrastructure, hardware deployments, network connectivity, and operational support activities in a 24x7 environment. You will contribute to the installation, maintenance, troubleshooting, and lifecycle management of data center equipment while ensuring adherence to operational, safety, and security standards. You will be a valued member of the Cloud Infrastructure and Security team working collaboratively with internal teams and vendors to maintain highly available enterprise systems. In this role, you will Install, terminate, label, test, and maintain copper (Cat5/Cat6) and fiber optic cabling infrastructure.Perform cable management activities, ensuring compliance with labeling standards, documentation requirements, and data center best practices.Perform rack-and-stack activities including server, switch, router, and hardware deployments.Troubleshoot servers, switches, routers, and other data center infrastructure components.Perform hardware diagnostics, root cause analysis, component replacement, and system health checks.Utilize remote management tools such as iLO, iDRAC, and similar technologies to perform remote console access, diagnostics, troubleshooting, and system recovery activities.Support hardware installations, upgrades, refreshes, decommissioning activities, and lifecycle management processes.Coordinate with vendors and internal teams to resolve infrastructure and operational issues.Respond to high-priority incidents and outages while following established escalation procedures.Maintain accurate documentation, labeling, asset records, and operational inventory.Utilize Microsoft Office applications including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams, and Visio to support operational reporting and documentation.Ensure compliance with data center security standards, operational procedures, and industry best practices.Follow all safety requirements while working within data center and technical facilities.Participate in rotational shift coverage and on-call support to maintain continuous operations." Note there are missing spaces after periods; we need to format nicely but preserve content. We'll add spaces for readability but not change meaning. Now "Work model At Cognizant, we strive to provide flexibility wherever possible, and we are here to support a healthy work-life balance through our various well-being programs. Based on this role's business requirements, this is an onsite position requiring 5 days a week in a client or Cognizant office in San Antonio, TX. The working arrangements for this role are accurate as of the date of posting. This may change based on the project you're engaged in, as well as business and client requirements. Rest assured; we will always be clear about role expectations." Now "What You Need To Have To Be Considered 3+ years of experience supporting enterprise data center operations.Strong experience with copper (Cat5/Cat6) and fiber optic cabling, including installation, termination, testing, labeling, troubleshooting, and cable management.Hands-on experience deploying, troubleshooting, and supporting servers, switches, routers, and related infrastructure hardware, including rack-and-stack activities, hardware diagnostics, root cause analysis, and component replacement.Hands-on experience with Cisco networking devices, basic network configuration, and remote management technologies such as iLO, iDRAC, or equivalent tools.Working knowledge of Windows operating systems and troubleshooting methodologies.Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams, and Visio.Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and communication skills with the ability to manage high-priority incidents and coordinate effectively with internal teams, vendors, and third-party support organizations.Ability to participate in rotational shifts and scheduled on-call support.Ability to lift up to 50-75 pounds and stand for extended periods while performing data center activities.Valid driver's license and reliable transportation." Now "These will help you stand out Degree or diploma in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field.Experience supporting enterprise data center operations in a 24x7 environment.Knowledge of data center infrastructure documentation standards, asset management practices, and operational security best practices.Familiarity with ITIL-based incident, problem, and change management processes." Now "We're excited to meet people who share our mission and can make an impact in a variety of ways. Don't hesitate to apply, even if you only meet the minimum requirements listed. Think about your transferable experiences and unique skills that make you stand out. Please note, this role is not able to offer visa transfer or sponsorship now or in the future." We need to remove boilerplate like EEO etc. The last paragraph includes visa note; that's substantive? It's a restriction about visa sponsorship. Should we keep? It's substantive info about the role (no visa sponsorship). Probably keep as a note maybe under Requirements or a separate note. But we must not include application instructions. The visa note is not an instruction to apply; it's a condition. Could be kept. However the instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. Visa note is not exactly those; it's a sponsorship restriction. Might be considered substantive. We'll keep it maybe as a short paragraph under Requirements or a separate note. But we must not include application instructions like "Don't hesitate to apply". That's application encouragement; we should remove that. Also "We're excited to meet people..." is also fluff; remove. The visa note is a condition; we can keep. Thus we need to extract substantive content: - About the role: description paragraph (first paragraph up to "In this role, you will"). - Responsibilities: list of duties after "In this role, you will". We'll extract each duty as separate list item. - Requirements: the bullet list under "What You Need To Have To Be Considered". Each sentence separated by periods but no spaces; we need to split into items. - Qualifications (preferred): the bullet list under "These will help you stand out". - Schedule: the work model paragraph. - Visa note: maybe a short note under Requirements or separate. We must not repeat job title as heading. Now produce HTML. We'll use

    for each section heading. Inside each section, we will have

    for prose,

    • for lists. We need to ensure we don't lose any detail. Let's craft. About the role: combine the first two sentences? Actually the "About The Role" includes multiple sentences: "As a Data Center Technician, you will make an impact by supporting critical data center infrastructure, hardware deployments, network connectivity, and operational support activities in a 24x7 environment. You will contribute to the installation, maintenance, troubleshooting, and lifecycle management of data center equipment while ensuring adherence to operational, safety, and security standards. You will be a valued member of the Cloud Infrastructure and Security team working collaboratively with internal teams and vendors to maintain highly available enterprise systems." That's the intro. Then "In this role, you will" starts the responsibilities list. So we can put the intro as

      under About the role heading. Responsibilities: list each duty after "In this role, you will". Let's extract: - Install, terminate, label, test, and maintain copper (Cat5/Cat6) and fiber optic cabling infrastructure. - Perform cable management activities, ensuring compliance with labeling standards, documentation requirements, and data center best practices. - Perform rack-and-stack activities including server, switch, router, and hardware deployments. - Troubleshoot servers, switches, routers, and other data center infrastructure components. - Perform hardware diagnostics, root cause analysis, component replacement, and system health checks. - Utilize remote management tools such as iLO, iDRAC, and similar technologies to perform remote console access, diagnostics, troubleshooting, and system recovery activities. - Support hardware installations, upgrades, refreshes, decommissioning activities, and lifecycle management processes. - Coordinate with vendors and internal teams to resolve infrastructure and operational issues. - Respond to high-priority incidents and outages while following established escalation procedures. - Maintain accurate documentation, labeling, asset records, and operational inventory. - Utilize Microsoft Office applications including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams, and Visio to support operational reporting and documentation. - Ensure compliance with data center security standards, operational procedures, and industry best practices. - Follow all safety requirements while working within data center and technical facilities. - Participate in rotational shift coverage and on-call support to maintain continuous operations. Check if any missing: after "Participate in rotational shift coverage and on-call support to maintain continuous operations." That's the end. Now Requirements: list each requirement from "What You Need To Have To Be Considered". Let's split by periods (but need to keep the content). The text: "3+ years of experience supporting enterprise data center operations.Strong experience with copper (Cat5/Cat6) and fiber optic cabling, including installation, termination
