Now decide sections.
We have overview description: could be "About the role" or "Overview". The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can choose appropriate.
We have content about what you will do: installing, configuring, updating, optimizing, scalability, collaboration, automation, continuous learning. That could be Responsibilities.
We have "What You Can Expect From Us" includes Real Impact, Collaboration, Growth. That could be about the role or maybe "About the role"? But we already used responsibilities. Could treat that as "About the role" describing expectations.
We have Benefits section with list.
We have "What We're Looking For" includes requirements: Bachelor's degree, 5+ years PostgreSQL, 2+ years MariaDB, strong relational DB knowledge, Linux OS and shell scripting, backup/recovery, enterprise monitoring tools like Percona, high availability architectures, leveraging AI tools. That's Requirements/Qualifications/Skills.
We have About Susquehanna description: could be "About the company" but not in allowed headings. Could be omitted or put under "About the role"? Probably not needed. The instruction says include a section only when posting has real specific content for it. We could include "About the role" for overview and expectations, "Responsibilities" for duties, "Requirements" for qualifications, "Benefits" for benefits. Possibly "Skills" could be separate but we can combine.
We must not create Pay or Schedule sections because not present.
We must not create empty sections.
We need to use for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep specifics like numbers, etc.
Let's extract details.
