We need to output HTML fragment with sections only when there is real specific content. We need to extract sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. The posting includes many paragraphs: values, company description, general purpose, essential functions, competencies, qualifications & special skills required (education/experience, technical skills, functional/domain skills, analytics & data science skills, soft skills & leadership), education/certifications, physical requirements, supervisory responsibilities, disclaimer (EEO, pay range). We need to map to headings.
We should not repeat job title. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. So we should remove EEO statement, disclaimer about job description being summary, etc. Also remove physical requirements? Might be considered not needed? The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. Physical requirements is specific content, but not one of the allowed headings? Allowed headings list includes Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Physical requirements not listed, so we should not create a heading for it; we could incorporate into a paragraph maybe under Requirements? But better to drop it if not matching allowed headings. The instruction: Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should only use those headings. Any other info should be placed under appropriate heading or as prose without heading? Probably we should embed under relevant sections.
We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all substantive info from posting, but we can place it under appropriate headings.
Let's parse content:
- Intro paragraph about values, company description: "Our values start with our people, join a team that values you! Bring your talents to Ross, our leading off-price retail chain with over 2,200 stores, and a strong track record of success and growth. Our focus has always been bringing our customers a constant stream of high-quality brands and on-trend merchandise at extraordinary savings. All while providing a fun and exciting treasure hunt experience. As Part Of Our Team, You Will Experience Success. Our winning team pursues excellence while learning and evolvingCareer growth. We develop industry leading talent because Ross grows when our people growTeamwork. We work together to solve the hard problems and find the right solutionOur commitment to Diversity, Equality & Inclusion, and our community. We celebrate the backgrounds, identities, and ideas of those who work and shop with us because our differences make us stronger. We strive to be a positive force in our community. Our Corporate headquarters are in Dublin, CA, we have 3 buying offices in key markets in New York City, Los Angeles, and Boston, and 8 distribution centers nationwide. With 2023 revenues of $20.4 billion, we are a Fortune 500 company who is committed to providing an inclusive work environment with continuous learning opportunities and development for our teams."
That's like About the role / company overview. Could go under About the role.
- GENERAL PURPOSE paragraph: "The Engineer IV, Merchandising Planning Delivery Lead is responsible for driving the strategy, modernization, and delivery of Ross’s merchandising planning technology solutions. As a highly technical individual contributor and subject matter expert, this role leads architecture, roadmap development, and platform evolution to support planning, forecasting, analytics, and business decision-making. The position partners with business and IT stakeholders to deliver value, evaluate emerging technologies, and provide technical leadership across implementation, optimization, and operational support initiatives."
That's also about role; could be under About the role or Responsibilities. Usually General Purpose fits under About the role.
- Essential Functions list: many bullet-like sentences. Those are responsibilities/duties. So we can put under Responsibilities as a
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should only use those headings. Any other info should be placed under appropriate heading or as prose without heading? Probably we should embed under relevant sections.

- COMPETENCIES list: list of competencies (Building Effective Teams, Developing Talent, etc). Those could be under Skills or Qualifications? Probably Skills.
- Qualifications & Special Skills Required: includes Education & Experience, Technical Skills, Functional/Domain Skills, Analytics & Data Science Skills, Soft Skills & Leadership. That's a mix of qualifications and skills. We could split: Qualifications heading for education/experience, and Skills heading for technical/functional/analytics/soft skills. But we have both Qualifications and Skills headings allowed. So we can put Education & Experience under Qualifications, and the rest under Skills.
- EDUCATION / CERTIFICATIONS: Bachelor’s degree ... Knowledge of merchandising systems ... highly desirable. That's also qualifications.
- Physical Requirements: we could maybe drop or incorporate under Requirements? Not a standard heading; maybe we can omit as not matching allowed headings. But we need to preserve ALL substantive information. If we drop it, we lose info. However instruction: "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't forbid other headings, but says use those for section headings. It might be okay to add other headings if needed, but they gave examples. Safer to stick to those headings only. Could we put physical requirements under Requirements? Requirements heading could include both qualifications and physical requirements. So we can put physical requirements under Requirements as a
or
.
- Supervisory Responsibilities: could go under Responsibilities or maybe under Qualifications? It's about supervisory responsibilities (none). Could be under Responsibilities as a note.
- Disclaimer: includes EEO statement, pay range statement. We need to remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. So we should remove EEO statement. Pay range: "The base pay range for this role to . The base pay range is dependent on factors including, but not limited to, experience, skills, qualifications, relevant education, certifications, seniority, and location. The range listed is just one component of the total compensation package for employees. Other rewards vary by position and location." This seems incomplete: "to ." maybe missing numbers. It's vague; we should not create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It does mention base pay range but doesn't give actual numbers; it's placeholder. According to instruction: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Since the pay range is not specified (just "to ."), we should not create a Pay section. Similarly, Benefits and Schedule not mentioned; we should not create those sections.
Thus we will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. Possibly also "Supervisory Responsibilities" could be under Responsibilities.
We need to ensure we don't repeat job title. No headings for Job ID.
Now craft HTML.
We'll start with About the role
then containing the intro and general purpose paragraphs combined.

Intro paragraph (values etc.):

Note there are some missing spaces: "evolvingCareer growth." should be "evolving. Career growth." but we keep as is? We should preserve exactly? Probably keep as given but we can add space for readability? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Adding a space might be considered inventing? Safer to keep original text exactly. However the original text has no space between "evolvingCareer". We'll keep it.
