We need to output only HTML fragment, no html/body tags, no markdown fences. Use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We need to extract content from job posting. First, job title is given but we must not repeat as heading. We need sections: - About the role: likely from "Your Mission" paragraph describing role. Also maybe "Your Platform" etc. But we need to include substantive content. - Responsibilities: from "Your Responsibilities Will Include" list. - Requirements: maybe from "What You Bring To The Table" and "The Skills & Experience We’re Looking For". Those are requirements/qualifications. - Skills: maybe separate but we can combine. The instruction says we can have sections for Skills, Qualifications, etc. We need to decide which sections have content. - Benefits: from "Rewards Requirements" paragraph describing benefits. - Pay: from "In the U.S., the standard base pay range for this role is $136,880.00 - $253,260.00 Annual." - Schedule: from "This position is based in our Santa Monica, California office and follows an in-office work model of four days per week. Working arrangements may evolve based on business needs." We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. Remove those. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; we can fold minor metadata into short p or drop it. Probably we can include location etc in About the role paragraph. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. We need to use

for section headings,
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. We need to output only HTML fragment. Let's structure:

    About the role

    ... content ...

    Then

    Responsibilities

    • ... each duty ...
    Then

    Requirements

    Maybe combine "What You Bring To The Table" and "The Skills & Experience We’re Looking For". Could be a list. But we need to decide if we separate Qualifications and Skills. The instruction says we can have sections for Qualifications, Skills, etc. But we should only include sections when posting has real specific content. We have content for both qualifications (education, years experience) and skills (specific abilities). Could split into Qualifications and Skills. But we must not create thin sections; prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine into one "Requirements" section that includes both qualifications and skills. That seems okay. Then Benefits:

    Benefits

    with
    • ... each benefit ...
    Pay:

    Pay

    ... range ...

    Schedule:

    Schedule

    ... in-office four days per week ...

    We must not include sections like "About the company" unless we have content. We have "Your Platform" describing Activision. Could be part of About the role or maybe separate "About the company". But we only have headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. No "About the company". So we can incorporate company description into About the role. Now we need to extract precise prose. Let's pull relevant paragraphs. From job description: "Your Platform Founded in 1979, Activision has continuously disrupted the world of entertainment as a leader in the videogame industry. With a history of delivering iconic game changers -- like Pitfall®, Tony Hawk®, Guitar Hero®, Crash Bandicoot™, Skylanders™ and Call of Duty® -- our obsession is delighting our players around the globe.

The text is a run-on; we need to separate by sentences or clauses. We'll create list items for each responsibility.
