We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content.
We need to parse the job posting.
First, there is a fluff intro: "In a world of possibilities..." etc. That's likely boilerplate, but we need to preserve substantive info. The intro is generic marketing; maybe we can drop it as it's not specific job description? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The intro might be considered boilerplate? It's generic marketing but not specifically about the job. It could be considered fluff; but we need to preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The intro is not substantive about the role; it's generic company marketing. Likely we can drop it.
Then we have "Job Description Parsons is seeking a Defensive Cyber Analyst to support Cyber Operations Policy leadership in developing and implementing defensive cyberspace operations policy, critical infrastructure protection, defense industrial base resilience, and cyber incident response initiatives."
That's a summary; we can put under About the role or maybe a short paragraph.
Then "What You’ll Do" list: bullet points.
Then "Required Qualifications" list.
Then "Preferred Qualifications" list.
Then "Security Clearance Requirement" line.
Then "This position is part of our Federal Solutions team..." paragraph.
Then "Salary Range: $112,200.00 - $196,400.00"
Then benefits paragraph: "We value our employees..." list of benefits.
Then EEO statement etc (remove). Then fraud warning (remove). Then "Imagine next and join..." maybe marketing; could be removed.
We need to produce sections: About the role (maybe a paragraph summarizing role). Responsibilities (the "What You’ll Do" list). Requirements (maybe Required Qualifications). Qualifications (maybe Preferred Qualifications? But we have both Required and Preferred; we could combine into Requirements and Qualifications? The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have Requirements for required qualifications, Qualifications for preferred qualifications, Skills maybe not separate if not present. Benefits, Pay.
We need to include Pay section only if posting states salary range. Yes, we have salary range.
Benefits: we have benefits listed.
Schedule: not mentioned; do not include.
We must not repeat job title as heading.
We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings (none present).
We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to preserve all substantive info.
Let's extract substantive content:
About the role: "Parsons is seeking a Defensive Cyber Analyst to support Cyber Operations Policy leadership in developing and implementing defensive cyberspace operations policy, critical infrastructure protection, defense industrial base resilience, and cyber incident response initiatives."
Maybe also include that it's part of Federal Solutions team? That could be in About the role or separate. But we have a paragraph about Federal Solutions team; that's substantive about the organization. Could be included in About the role or maybe a separate section like "About the team". But we only have allowed headings; we could incorporate into About the role.

Security Clearance Requirement: "An active Top Secret SCI security clearance is required for this position." This is essentially same as required qualification; we could incorporate but not duplicate. Since required qualifications already includes Active DoW Top Secret clearance with SCI eligibility, we can keep that.
Federal Solutions team paragraph: "This position is part of our Federal Solutions team.

That's substantive about the team; could be included in About the role or maybe a separate section like "About the team". Since we don't have a heading for that, we could incorporate into About the role.
Benefits: "We value our employees and want our employees to take care of their overall wellbeing, which is why we offer best-in-class benefits such as medical, dental, vision, paid time off, 401(k), life insurance, flexible work schedules, and holidays to fit your busy lifestyle!"
