We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes department overview, impact, responsibilities, education/experience, knowledge/skills/abilities, salary, benefits. We should not repeat job title. Use for section headings. Use
for section headings. Use - for lists. Use
for prose. Remove boilerplate: EEO, SPAM, Fair Chance Hiring, etc. Also remove navigation/legal etc. Keep substantive info.
We need sections only when there is real specific content. So we can have sections: About the role (maybe department overview + impact?), Responsibilities, Education and Experience, Knowledge, Skills and Abilities, Pay, Benefits. Possibly also "Qualifications" but we have Education and Experience and Knowledge, Skills and Abilities; could combine. But we need to follow instruction: use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can choose appropriate ones. The posting includes responsibilities, education/experience, knowledge/skills/abilities, pay, benefits. No schedule. So we can have sections: About the role (department overview + impact), Responsibilities, Education and Experience, Knowledge, Skills and Abilities, Pay, Benefits.
We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Pay is given: estimated base salary 170k-190k plus discretionary bonus. That's specific. Benefits listed.
We need to preserve all substantive info; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all bullet points from responsibilities, education/experience, knowledge/skills/abilities, benefits list.
We need to format lists with
- . For prose paragraphs use
. For headings use
.
We must not include job ID/requisition numbers. None present.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Not needed.
We must not include boilerplate: EEO statement, SPAM, Fair Chance Hiring, etc. Remove those.
Also remove "Courtesy, respect, and thoughtfulness in teaming with colleagues and other stakeholders" maybe part of Knowledge, Skills and Abilities? Actually that line appears after "Ability to show ownership..." It's part of Knowledge, Skills and Abilities? It seems like a separate bullet? It's a sentence: "Courtesy, respect, and thoughtfulness in teaming with colleagues and other stakeholders". We'll keep it as part of Knowledge, Skills and Abilities list.
We need to ensure we don't create sections with placeholder text. All sections have content.
Let's extract content.
Department Overview: "WDTech is W&D’s in-house technology team – a group of collaborative and highly skilled technology professionals, all of whom are leading experts in real estate data, data science, and technology. WDTech Engineering builds solutions that impact not only our products but also the people and processes across our organization. A commitment to innovation and a passion for disrupting the old-fashioned real estate industry are our highest priorities."
Impact You Will Have: "As an Engineering Manager, you will lead a cross-functional software engineering team responsible for designing, building, and delivering scalable applications and platform capabilities. This role combines technical leadership, people management, and hands-on collaboration to support the delivery of high-quality software solutions aligned with product and business priorities. Working closely with Product Managers, Engineers, Data teams, and cross-functional stakeholders, you will help guide technical strategy, support team development, and drive execution across the software development lifecycle."

Pay: "This position has an estimated base salary of 170k-190k plus a discretionary bonus. An employment offer is based on the applicant’s relevant work experience, applicable knowledge, skills, abilities, internal equity, and alignment with market data."
We should keep that as prose.
Benefits list: bullet points from "What We Offer":
