We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description. We need to use

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We have salary range, so Pay section. No explicit Benefits, Schedule. Could include About the role (intro). Responsibilities (Essential Duties And Responsibilities). Requirements (maybe Required Skills and Experience). Qualifications (maybe Professional Certifications, Formal Education, Citizenship Requirement, Security Clearance Requirements). Skills (maybe list of skills). But we must not create thin sections. We need to decide which sections have substantive content. We have: - Intro: Syms Strategic Group (SSG) is seeking a talented Data Platform Engineer Location: Remote Department: Veterans Affairs (VA) Type: Full Time Min. Experience: Experienced Security Clearance Level: Public Trust (MBI) Salary Range: $85,389 - $116,975 We could put About the role: includes location, remote, department, type, min experience, security clearance, salary range? But salary separate. Better: About the role: brief description of role and context. Responsibilities: list of duties. Requirements: maybe required skills and experience. Qualifications: education, citizenship, security clearance. Skills: maybe list of specific technical skills. But we must avoid duplication. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine. We could have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (including skills, qualifications). Pay. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not include metadata like Job ID. We must remove boilerplate: EEO, etc. We need to preserve all substantive info. Let's extract substantive content: Intro paragraph: Syms Strategic Group (SSG) is seeking a talented Data Platform Engineer Location: Remote Department: Veterans Affairs (VA) Type: Full Time Min. Experience: Experienced Security Clearance Level: Public Trust (MBI) Salary Range: $85,389 - $116,975 If previously applied, no need to reapply. Applications still under review. Military Veterans highly encouraged to apply! (This is substantive? It's encouragement but maybe keep.) Essential Duties And Responsibilities: list of bullet points (the long paragraph). We need to convert to
  • . Required Skills and Experience: list of bullet points. Professional Certifications: None but AWS certifications are a bonus. Years of Professional Experience: n/a (skip as placeholder). Desired experience: list of items (EDI X.12, etc). This is substantive. Formal Education: Bachelor’s degree or higher in Computer Science, Engineering, or related technical discipline; equivalent practical experience considered. Citizenship Requirement: U.S. Citizenship required for this specific opportunity. Security Clearance Requirements: Must possess or qualify for a Public Trust (MBI) CRITICAL NOTES: ... (some notes about screening, etc). Some may be boilerplate but some are substantive: Recruiters or Third parties will not be considered; This is a 100% U.S. based remote position. However, candidates from CA, CO, IL, MN, NJ, NY, OR, or WA will not be considered; This is a W-2 position; All interviews will be conducted on Microsoft Teams with your camera on; there will be no exceptions; As part of our screening process, you will be requested to provide a link to your LinkedIn profile; U.S Citizenship is required for this specific opportunity. Applicants selected will be subject to a government security investigation and must meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information and be able to obtain a government-granted security clearance. Individuals may also be subject to a background investigation including, but not limited to criminal history, employment and education verification, drug testing, and creditworthiness. We should keep substantive notes like location restrictions, interview process, citizenship, security clearance, background check. We must remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "CRITICAL NOTES" includes some instructions like provide LinkedIn link, etc. Those are application instructions? Possibly we should remove application instructions. The instruction says remove application instructions. So we should not include "As part of our screening process, you will be requested to provide a link to your LinkedIn profile". Also "All interviews will be conducted on Microsoft Teams with your camera on; there will be no exceptions" maybe considered interview instruction; could be considered application instruction? Might be considered part of process; but likely we should remove. However, the instruction says remove application instructions. So we should exclude those. We keep location restrictions, citizenship, security clearance, background check, W-2, remote, etc. We also have "Military Veterans are highly encouraged to apply!" That's encouragement, maybe keep. We have "If you have previously applied to Syms Strategic Group (SSG), there is no need to reapply. Applications are still under review." That's application instruction? Might be considered info; but could be considered application instruction. Probably remove. We need to preserve all substantive information; but we must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like salary range, responsibilities list, required skills, desired experience, education, citizenship, security clearance, location restrictions, W-2, remote, etc. We need to format as HTML with headings. Let's decide sections: - About the role: could include brief overview: Syms Strategic Group (SSG) seeking Data Platform Engineer, remote, VA department, full-time, experienced, Public Trust clearance, salary range. - Responsibilities: list of duties. - Requirements: could combine Required Skills and Experience + Desired experience + Formal Education + Citizenship + Security Clearance + Location restrictions + W-2 + Remote + Military Veterans encouragement? Might be too much. Better: Have sections: Responsibilities, Required Skills, Desired Experience, Qualifications (education, citizenship, clearance), Pay, Additional Info (location restrictions, W-2, remote, veteran encouragement). But we need to avoid thin sections. Maybe combine Required Skills and Desired Experience into a single "Skills and Experience" section. Qualifications: education, citizenship, security clearance. Pay: salary range. Additional Info: location restrictions, remote, W-2, veteran encouragement. We must not create sections with filler like "not specified". All sections have content. Let's extract content for each. About the role: We'll write a paragraph summarizing: Syms Strategic Group (SSG) is seeking a talented Data Platform Engineer for a remote, full-time position supporting the Veterans Affairs department. The role requires experienced professionals with a Public Trust (MBI) security clearance. Salary range: $85,389 - $116,975. That's substantive. Responsibilities: list each duty from Essential Duties And Responsibilities. Need to break into bullet points. The original is a long sentence with many clauses separated by commas and "and". We need to parse into logical bullet points. Let's extract bullet points: - Lead the next phase of the healthcare data platform modernization - Implement the evolution from a Microsoft SQL eXtensible Markup Language (MSSQL XML) object store toward a scalable, cloud-native AWS data architecture that enables business stakeholders and analysts to run performant, SQL-based reports and queries against healthcare data seamlessly - Evaluate and decide the right AWS data strategy for the platform - Evaluate and recommend the optimal AWS-native data storage and query architecture for the XML object store data, assessing options such as S3 + Athena, Aurora, DynamoDB, Redshift, and OpenSearch based on query patterns, reporting needs, cost, and scalability - Design and build the reporting and query layer that allows business stakeholders and non-technical users to run relational SQL queries against healthcare data using familiar tooling - Architect the migration path for XML object store data from MSSQL into the target AWS platform, defining storage formats, partitioning strategies, and data organization for optimal query performance - Build and maintain AWS data catalog, schemas, and metadata management so that object store data is discoverable and queryable by business users - Optimize query performance and cost across chosen AWS services – partitioning, compression, file formats, and query pattern tuning - Work directly with business stakeholders and analysts to understand reporting requirements and translate them into durable, performant data models and query patterns - Collaborate with back-end C#/.Net engineer to ensure data flows cleanly from Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) processing pipelines into the new data layer - Implement and maintain CI/CD pipelines for data infrastructure using AWS-native tooling (CodePipeline, CodeBuild, and CodeDeploy) - Apply Infrastructure as Code (IaC) practices using AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK), CloudFormation, or Terraform - Document architecture decisions, data flows, and data dictionaries clearly for both technical and non-technical audiences That seems comprehensive. Required Skills and Experience: list bullet points: - 8+ years’ experience in software or data engineering with a strong AWS focus - Proven experience architecting and executing cloud data platform migrations in production enterprise or healthcare environments - Track record of evaluating and selecting AWS data services to meet business reporting and query requirements - Experience delivering reporting or analytics solutions that serve non-technical business users - Deep hands-on AWS experience across data-oriented services – S3, Athena, Glue, Aurora, DynamoDB, Redshift, OpenSearch, Lambda, IAM, and Cloudwatch - Strong SQL skills with the ability to design relational query layers over semi-structured or non-relational data (XML, JSON) - Experience working with XML-heavy data stores – parsing, querying, and transforming XML at scale - Ability to evaluate trade-offs across AWS data services and make architecture recommendations based on cost, performance, and business requirements - Familiarity with AWS analytics and reporting services, including Athena, QuickSight, RedShift, or equivalent Business Intelligence (BI) tooling - Proficiency with Git and GitHub - branching strategies, pull requests, and collaborative workflows - Familiarity with CI/CD practices and AWS-native tooling (CodePipeline, CodeBuild, and CodeDeploy) - IaC experience (AWS CDK, CloudFormation, or Terraform) - Strong ability to communicate technical architecture decisions and trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders - Experience gathering and translating business reporting requirements into technical data models - Comfort driving ambiguous architecture decisions to resolutions with limited direction - Experience with Agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban) and JIRA - Strong documentation habits – architecture diagrams, data dictionaries, migration runbooks Professional Certifications: None but AWS certifications are a bonus.

Citizenship Requirement: U.S. Citizenship required for this specific opportunity. Security Clearance Requirements: Must possess or qualify for a Public Trust (MBI) Additional Info: Military Veterans highly encouraged to apply; This is a 100% U.S. based remote position; However, candidates from CA, CO, IL, MN, NJ, NY, OR, or WA will not be considered; This is a W-2 position; All interviews will be conducted on Microsoft Teams with your camera on; there will be no exceptions; As part of our screening process, you will be requested to provide a link to your LinkedIn profile; U.S Citizenship is required for this specific opportunity.
