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 content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like EEO, equal-opportunity, scam warning, navigation, cookie, legal, duplicated lines, application instructions. Must preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Let's extract sections:
- "Why this role" is like an intro paragraph: "Start your career using AI to code faster, test better, and ship with confidence. Fedstack hires you, pays you to train for 10 weeks, then deploys you to our client’s engineering team."
Then "The program" details: Paid remote training, 10 weeks. Agile sprints, code reviews, realistic tickets. Curriculum focus: AI-assisted software development, prompt patterns for coding and testing, secure and compliant AI use in regulated environments, code quality and reliability, SDLC automation, cloud deployment basics. Capstone: Deliver a production-style slice that uses AI tools to cut cycle time, raise test coverage, and improve documentation quality. Deployment: Join the client team on-site, contribute to existing services and apps, and continue using AI to accelerate delivery.
Then "What you will do on assignment": list of responsibilities.
Then "Tech you might use": list of technologies.
Then "Minimum qualifications": list.
Then "Nice to have": list.
Then "Benefits and compensation": list.
Then "Entry Level AI Engineer responsibilities": seems like a duplicate of responsibilities? Actually after benefits, there is "Entry Level AI Engineer responsibilities" with bullet list.
Then "Salary": Year 1: $60,000 Year 2: $95,000.
Then "About Fedstack": description.
Then "Equal Opportunity Employment" etc: boilerplate to remove.
Also "Principles only. Recruiters please do not contact this job poster. Do NOT contact us with unsolicited services or offers." That's boilerplate to remove.
We need to decide sections: About the role (intro), Responsibilities (what you will do on assignment + maybe entry level responsibilities), Requirements (minimum qualifications), Qualifications (nice to have?), Skills (tech you might use), Benefits (benefits and compensation), Pay (salary), Schedule? Not mentioned schedule; maybe training 10 weeks remote, deployment on-site hybrid? There's "Willing to work hybrid in D.C. or Arlington Virginia". That could be schedule/location. But schedule section only if posting actually states schedule. It mentions hybrid work location, not schedule like full-time, part-time. Could treat as location but not schedule. Probably we omit Schedule section.
We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We must not repeat job title as heading. The job title is not given explicitly but maybe "Entry Level AI Engineer". We'll not use that as heading.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
We'll structure:

We'll structure:
About the role
Start your career using AI to code faster, test better, and ship with confidence. Fedstack hires you, pays you to train for 10 weeks, then deploys you to our client’s engineering team.
The program
maybe not a standard heading but we could incorporate into About the role? The instructions say use headings for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. They didn't list "The program". But we could treat that as part of About the role or maybe as Responsibilities? However we must preserve all substantive info. We could include aabout program details under About the role or maybe a separate section like "Training program". But the instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We could merge program details into About the role paragraph. Thus About the role paragraph can include: "Start your career using AI to code faster, test better, and ship with confidence. Fedstack hires you, pays you to train for 10 weeks, then deploys you to our client’s engineering team. The program includes paid remote training for 10 weeks with agile sprints, code reviews, realistic tickets; curriculum focuses on AI-assisted software development, prompt patterns for coding and testing, secure and compliant AI use in regulated environments, code quality and reliability, SDLC automation, cloud deployment basics; capstone project delivering a production-style slice that uses AI tools to cut cycle time, raise test coverage, and improve documentation quality; deployment to the client team on-site to contribute to existing services and apps while continuing to use AI to accelerate delivery." That captures program. Now Responsibilities: combine "What you will do on assignment" and "Entry Level AI Engineer responsibilities". Both are lists of duties. We'll combine into one
- list.
Let's extract bullet points from "What you will do on assignment":
- Drive the adoption of AI-assisted DevSecOps practices, using large language models and automation tools to accelerate secure containerization of legacy applications while maintaining security compliance.
- Develop and maintain AI-enhanced CI/CD pipelines that automatically generate security policies, container configurations, and infrastructure-as-code templates based on application requirements and best practices.
- Use AI coding assistants for implementation, refactoring, and documentation while following team guidelines.
- Generate unit and integration tests, improve coverage, and reduce defects.
- Speed up PRs with AI-assisted reviews, summaries, and risk notes.
- Query logs and docs with AI to troubleshoot issues and unblock work.
- Partner with product, design, security, and compliance to ship increments to production standards.
Now "Entry Level AI Engineer responsibilities":
- Development in Java, Spring Boot, Microservices, API while providing expertise in the full software development lifecycle, from concept and design to testing, designing, developing and delivering high-volume, low-latency applications for mission-critical systems.
- Participate in technical solution and design discussions.
- Perform proofs of concept and comprehensive solutions throughout the development lifecycle.
- Add new features while improving efficiency, reliability, and scalability to address client needs.
Combine them.
Now Requirements: Minimum qualifications list:
- Hands-on coding experience through coursework, projects, or internships.
- Strong fundamentals in data structures, algorithms, and web or backend basics.
- Ability to learn quickly and work in an Agile team.
- Bachelor’s degree.
- U.S. Citizen
- Willing to work hybrid in D.C. or Arlington Virginia
- Pass a coding challenge, background check, and drug screening.
We could treat "Willing to work hybrid in D.C. or Arlington Virginia" as location/ schedule but we can keep under Requirements.
Now Qualifications (Nice to have):
- Projects that show AI-assisted development, such as AI-generated tests or AI-supported refactors.
- Experience with cloud services, databases, or CI/CD.
- Interest in security, privacy, and handling sensitive data.
Now Skills: Tech you might use list:
- Java or Python, Spring Boot or Node, REST and gRPC, React, SQL, GitHub, CI/CD, Docker, AWS or GCP.
- AI tools such as LangChain, Cursor, Windsurf, GitHub Copilot, code review assistants, test generators, and documentation copilots.
We could format as a list.
Now Benefits and compensation:
- During training: Paid biweekly stipend plus benefits.
- Health insurance including medical, vision, and dental.
- Matching 401(k).
- Voluntary life insurance.
- Relocation reimbursement.
- 11 paid days off per year.
- Industry certification(s).
- Inclusive, collaborative culture.
Now Pay: Salary:
- Year 1: $60,000
- Year 2: $95,000
Now Schedule: Not explicitly given; we have hybrid work location but not schedule like full-time, part-time, hours. Could omit Schedule section.
Now About Fedstack: description:
- Fedstack is technology-focused and delivers talent in Full-Stack engineering, Cloud, DevSecOps, Networking, Cyber Security, Artificial Intelligence, Business Intelligence, Data Science, and Machine Learning. Our training uses realistic client environments so you can contribute quickly.
We could include as About the company maybe under "About Fedstack". But the instruction only lists certain headings; we could add a section "About the company" but not in list. However we could incorporate into About the role or maybe a separate section "About Fedstack". The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says "e.g." meaning examples, not exhaustive. So we can add other headings if needed, but better to stick to those. However we have substantive info about Fedstack; we could put it under About the role or maybe a separate "About the company". Since they didn't forbid other headings, we could add
About Fedstack
. That seems reasonable. Now we must remove boilerplate: Equal Opportunity Employment, Principles only, recruiters etc. Now ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. Not doing. Now produce HTML fragment. We'll wrap sections in appropriate tags. Let's craft:About the role
