Huron · Chicago, IL · 1 mo ago
RemoteRemoteEngineering$100k–$130k/yrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes description paragraphs. We need to use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections when posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Preserve all substantive info. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We need to parse the posting. Content: Intro paragraphs about Huron, mission, etc. That could be "About the role" maybe? Actually "About the role" is generic; but we can put the description under "About the role". The posting includes: "Huron helps its clients drive growth..." etc. That's about the company and role context. Could be "About the role". We'll include that as prose. Then "We are looking for a Platform Integration Engineer to join our engineering team..." That's also part of role description. Then "What You’ll Do" with bullet points under subheadings: Platform Unification & Integration, Data Pipeline & ETL Engineering, Cloud Infrastructure. Those are duties/responsibilities. So we can put under

    Responsibilities

    with
    • items. Then "Required Qualifications" with bullet list: "What We’re Looking For" bullet points. That's qualifications. Could be under

      Requirements

      or

      Qualifications

      . The instruction says we have headings: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which to use. The posting has "Required Qualifications" and "Preferred Qualifications". Also "How You Work" (soft skills). Could map: Requirements = Required Qualifications; Qualifications = Preferred Qualifications; Skills = maybe "How You Work" (soft skills) or technical skills? But we have also technical skills listed in Required Qualifications. Might be better to put Required Qualifications under Requirements, Preferred Qualifications under Qualifications, and "How You Work" under Skills (since they are behavioral traits). Benefits: posting mentions "What We Offer" includes competitive base salary, flexible remote-first or hybrid, opportunity to define patterns, incentive compensation, benefit plans medical/dental/vision, etc. Also salary range. So we can have Benefits section with those items. Pay: we have salary range info. Schedule: flexible remote-first or hybrid work environment (that's more about work arrangement, could be Schedule? Actually schedule could be remote/hybrid. We'll put under Schedule maybe. But we already used flexible remote-first in Benefits; maybe better to put under Schedule. However Benefits already includes "competitive base salary", "opportunity to define integration...", "annual incentive compensation", "benefit plans". The schedule: flexible remote-first or hybrid work environment. We'll put that under Schedule. Pay: we have salary range and total compensation range. We'll put under Pay. We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience" etc. But we have actual salary range numbers, so we can include Pay. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. Remove. Now construct HTML. We'll start with

      About the role

      then

      containing the introductory paragraphs about Huron and role context. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting. Let's extract the intro text: "Huron helps its clients drive growth, enhance performance and sustain leadership in the markets they serve. We help healthcare organizations build innovation capabilities and accelerate key growth initiatives, enabling organizations to own the future, instead of being disrupted by it. Together, we empower clients to create sustainable growth, optimize internal processes and deliver better consumer outcomes. Health systems, hospitals and medical clinics are under immense pressure to improve clinical outcomes and reduce the cost of providing patient care. Investing in new partnerships, clinical services and technology is not enough to create meaningful and substantive change. To succeed long-term, healthcare organizations must empower leaders, clinicians, employees, affiliates and communities to build cultures that foster innovation to achieve the best outcomes for patients. Joining the Huron team means you’ll help our clients evolve and adapt to the rapidly changing healthcare environment and optimize existing business operations, improve clinical outcomes, create a more consumer-centric healthcare experience, and drive physician, patient and employee engagement across the enterprise. Join our team as the expert you are now and create your future." That's a block. We'll put that in

      . Then after that: "We are looking for a Platform Integration Engineer to join our engineering team and take on one of our most strategically important challenges: unifying a diverse ecosystem of analytics applications under a coherent, scalable technology platform. Our analytics landscape has grown organically across multiple teams and products. The result is a collection of powerful but siloed tools — each with its own technology stack, data contracts, and deployment patterns. You will be the connective tissue that brings these applications together, making pragmatic decisions about when to consolidate and when to preserve the right tool for the right job. This role is for an engineer who is energized by ambiguity, skilled at reading distributed systems, and opinionated (but flexible) about platform design. You will work directly with engineering leads and data teams, and you will be empowered to use AI-assisted development tools as a first-class part of your workflow." That's also part of role description; could be included in same About the role paragraph or separate. We'll keep as part of About the role maybe separate

      . But we can combine. Now Responsibilities: Under "What You’ll Do" we have subheadings: Platform Unification & Integration - Audit existing analytics applications to understand their underlying technology choices, data flows, and integration points - Design and implement integration patterns (APIs, event streams, shared data contracts) that allow siloed applications to interoperate without unnecessary rewrites - Evaluate build vs. consolidate vs. federate tradeoffs for components across the platform, documenting your rationale and driving alignment - Build and maintain shared platform services — authentication, observability, configuration management, logging — that reduce duplication across applications Data Pipeline & ETL Engineering - Develop a deep understanding of existing data pipelines owned by distributed teams — including their data sources, transformation logic, and dependencies - Design and build a unified presentation layer that surfaces data from heterogeneous compute environments — including large-scale distributed systems (e.g., Spark) and traditional relational databases — in a consistent, accessible way - Partner with domain teams who have the deepest knowledge of their own data — acting as an integration architect and collaborator rather than a centralized pipeline owner; identify unification opportunities but defer to domain expertise on data semantics and processing logic Cloud Infrastructure - Deploy and manage platform services on cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred; Azure/GCP experience a plus) - Contribute to infrastructure-as-code practices using tools such as Terraform, CDK, or Pulumi - Collaborate with DevOps/SRE to define deployment pipelines and reliability standards for integration services - Construct evidence-based business cases for cloud feature adoption — translating technical requirements into business value, risk reduction, and compliance language that resonates with IT governance and procurement stakeholders We'll put each bullet as

    • . Could group under subheadings? The instruction says use
      • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. It doesn't forbid headings inside list? Probably we can just list all bullets under Responsibilities. Could also add

        inside? Not allowed? Only headings allowed are

        . We could still include

        but not specified. Safer to just list all bullets. Now Requirements: Required Qualifications bullet list: "What We’re Looking For - 3+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 1 years focused on integration, platform, or infrastructure work - Proficiency in at least one backend language commonly used in data-intensive systems (Python, Go, Java, or similar); proficiency in two or more languages strongly preferred - Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS strongly preferred) including compute, storage, networking, and managed services - Experience building and operating data pipelines (ETL/ELT), including schema management and data quality monitoring - Working experience with AI-assisted development tooling in a professional engineering context - Strong written communication skills — able to produce clear architecture decision records (ADRs), runbooks, and design documents" We'll put under

        Requirements

        with
        • . Now Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications bullet list: "Preferred Qualifications - Experience evaluating and rationalizing heterogeneous technology stacks — i.e., inheriting systems you didn’t design and making them work together - Familiarity with analytics or ML platform tooling (e.g., Airflow, dbt, MLflow, Spark, or SaaS equivalents) - Experience with API gateway management, service mesh, or distributed tracing tooling - Background working with both structured (SQL) and semi-structured (JSON, Parquet, Avro) data at scale" Put under

          Qualifications

          . Now Skills: "How You Work" bullet list: "The ideal candidate for this role: - Is pragmatic over dogmatic — you reach for the right solution given real constraints, not the theoretically perfect one - Communicates tradeoffs clearly to both technical peers and non-technical stakeholders - Is comfortable making a recommendation and defending it, but genuinely updates when presented with better information - Brings structure to ambiguous problems — you can walk into a complex legacy system and produce a clear map of what’s there - Understands that “don’t touch what works” and “build it right” are often both correct answers, depending on context - Takes ownership of quality and reliability — you care about what happens after you ship" Put under

          Skills

          . Now Benefits: "What We Offer" bullet list: "Competitive base salary commensurate with experience Flexible remote-first or hybrid work environment Opportunity to define integration and platform patterns that will shape the organization’s technical direction The job is also eligible to participate in Huron’s annual incentive compensation program, which reflects Huron’s pay for performance philosophy. Inclusive of annual incentive compensation opportunity, the total estimated compensation range for this job is $112,000 - $153,400 USD. The job is also eligible to participate in Huron’s benefit plans which include medical, dental and vision coverage and other wellness programs." But note we have Pay section separate for salary range. Benefits should include non-salary benefits: flexible remote-first/hybrid, opportunity to define patterns, incentive compensation, benefit plans medical/dental/vision, wellness programs. Also maybe "competitive base salary" is Pay. We'll separate. Thus Benefits
          • items: Flexible remote-first or hybrid work environment; Opportunity to define integration and platform patterns that will shape the organization’s technical direction; Eligible to participate in Huron’s annual incentive compensation program (pay for performance); Eligible to participate in Huron’s benefit plans which include medical, dental and vision coverage and other wellness programs. We could also include "competitive base salary" but that's Pay. Now Pay: we have salary range info: "The estimated base salary for this job is $100,000 - $130,000 USD. The range represents a good faith estimate of the range that Huron reasonably expects to pay for this job at the time of the job posting. The actual salary paid to an individual will vary based on multiple factors, including but not limited to specific skills or certifications, years of experience, market changes, and required travel. This job is also eligible to participate in Huron’s annual incentive compensation program, which reflects Huron’s pay for performance philosophy. Inclusive of annual incentive compensation opportunity, the total estimated compensation range for this job is $112,000 - $153,400 USD." We should include that as prose under Pay. Not a list. Now Schedule: we already used flexible remote-first in Benefits; but we could still have Schedule: maybe "Flexible remote-first or hybrid work environment". Since we used
