We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections where posting has real specific content. No Pay or Schedule unless stated. Benefits: there is benefits overview. So include Benefits section. About the role: we have Role Overview paragraph. Responsibilities: list of key responsibilities. Requirements: maybe combine Required Qualifications? The posting has "Required Qualifications" with education and experience. Also "Technical Skills". Could treat "Requirements" as the Required Qualifications (education+experience). "Skills" as Technical Skills. Also "Qualifications" maybe duplicate? The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Skills). They list both Requirements and Qualifications as possible headings. We need to decide what content goes where. The posting has "Required Qualifications" (education + experience). Also "Technical Skills". Could map "Requirements" to the Required Qualifications (education+experience). "Qualifications" maybe to something else? There's also "Company Overview". Could treat that as "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is Role Overview. "Company Overview" could be part of About the role? But we should not invent sections. We have Role Overview paragraph. Could put that under About the role. Responsibilities: list. Requirements: education+experience. Qualifications: maybe the list of experiences (like "Experience: 5 years of hands-on experience...") but that's already in Required Qualifications. Actually Required Qualifications includes Education and Experience bullet. Could split: Requirements = Education, Qualifications = Experience? But better to follow typical: Requirements = education+experience, Qualifications = maybe additional qualifications like certifications? Not present. Could combine both into one section? But instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (covering education+experience+technical skills?), Benefits. But they also want Skills section if present. There is Technical Skills. So we could have Skills section for technical skills. Requirements could be education+experience. Qualifications maybe not needed. Could omit Qualifications heading if no specific content beyond what's covered. But we have "Required Qualifications" heading in posting; we could treat that as Qualifications section. Then Requirements could be something else? There's no separate "Requirements". Might be redundant. To avoid thin sections, we could combine Education+Experience into Requirements, and Technical Skills into Skills, and omit Qualifications. But we lose the "Required Qualifications" content if we don't put it somewhere. However the content is education and experience; we can put that under Requirements. That's fine. Then Skills for technical skills. Benefits section. About the role. Responsibilities. That's four sections. Check if any Pay or Schedule: none. So omit. Now need to format:

About the role

then

Role Overview paragraph.

Responsibilities:

Responsibilities

  • each responsibility line. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Must include all responsibilities lines exactly as given. Let's extract them: - Deploy, license, and configure F5 BIG-IP LTM hardware. - Maintain Virtual servers, Pools, Nodes, Custom monitors, and Persistence profiles. - Manage SSL offloading, SSL bridging, and secure cipher suite configurations. - Author, optimize, and troubleshoot custom iRules (TCL-based) to handle advanced traffic steering, URI redirects, and header manipulation. - Manage the lifecycle of SSL/TLS certificates, including CSR generation, certificate deployment, and automated renewal cycles on BIG-IP devices. - Perform deep-packet and L3-L7 diagnostics for complex application delivery issues, high latency, routing issues, and SSL handshake failures. - Utilize advanced tools such as Wireshark, tcpdump, F5 iQuery, and F5 Analytics. - Execute TMOS operating system upgrades, hotfixes, and backup restorations using UCS/SCF configuration archives. - Design and test failover mechanics in High Availability (HA) topologies, including Device Service Clustering (DSC) and Active/Standby setups. - Utilize F5 iControl REST APIs for programmatic control and monitoring. - Provide network administration and support for a campus-wide area network infrastructure. - Design, configure, and troubleshoot Routing and Switching systems, with required Cisco expertise. - Provide on-call support for off-hours data center escalations and perform regular scheduled out-of-hours maintenance. - Maintain and manage network IP address management (IPAM). Make sure each is a
  • . Requirements: Education and Experience. The posting: "Required Qualifications Education: A Bachelor’s degree with 5 years of experience or a High School Diploma with 9 years of experience. Experience: 5 years of hands-on experience in the implementation and administration of complex, multi-location, multi-vendor, converged voice/data networks in a geographically distributed environment.In-depth hands-on experience with F5 Load Balancers in real-world complex environments.Experience administering Cisco routers & switches including but not limited to Nexus 9xxx, Catalyst 9000, Cisco ONS, Cisco ACI and DNA Center; Juniper MX routers and EX switches; and Infoblox DDI appliances.Experience working in a Data Center.Experience managing networks, internal and external DNS, and the associated IP infrastructure.Experience administering and configuring monitoring tools for proactive alerting and trends analysis.Experience working with support ticketing systems, managing assigned tickets, and providing appropriate follow-up.Experience with creating and maintaining documentation and using Data Center inventory management tools." We need to preserve all. Could format as
    • each bullet? But it's a paragraph with sentences. Better to keep as

      for prose? The instruction: Use

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

        for prose. The requirements are a list of items; we could split into list items. However the original is not explicitly bullet list but we can treat each sentence as a requirement. It's acceptable to make a list. We'll output

        • for each distinct requirement. Let's split: - A Bachelor’s degree with 5 years of experience or a High School Diploma with 9 years of experience. - 5 years of hands-on experience in the implementation and administration of complex, multi-location, multi-vendor, converged voice/data networks in a geographically distributed environment. - In-depth hands-on experience with F5 Load Balancers in real-world complex environments. - Experience administering Cisco routers & switches including but not limited to Nexus 9xxx, Catalyst 9000, Cisco ONS, Cisco ACI and DNA Center; Juniper MX routers and EX switches; and Infoblox DDI appliances. - Experience working in a Data Center. - Experience managing networks, internal and external DNS, and the associated IP infrastructure. - Experience administering and configuring monitoring tools for proactive alerting and trends analysis. - Experience working with support ticketing systems, managing assigned tickets, and providing appropriate follow-up. - Experience with creating and maintaining documentation and using Data Center inventory management tools. That seems comprehensive. Skills: Technical Skills list: "A strong understanding of network principles, the OSI model, TCP/IP protocol suite, IP subnets, and masking." That's a single sentence. Could be

          or

          • . Since it's a list? It's a single item. Use

            maybe. But instruction: Use

            • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. This is not a list, it's a statement. So

              . Benefits: The benefits overview paragraph. Need to preserve all substantive information. It's a long paragraph describing benefits. We'll put as

              under Benefits heading. We must exclude boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. So we need to strip the EEO paragraphs, the virtual recruiter note, the privacy policy, the equal opportunity repeated, the accommodation contact, the transparency in coverage, the copyright, the address, etc. Also remove the "Job#: 3053369 Job Description: If interested, please send most updated resume to [email protected]" line (application instruction). Also remove "F5 Network Engineer Location: Remote" maybe not needed as heading? It's location info; could be part of About the role? But we already have About the role paragraph; we could incorporate location? The instruction: do not repeat job title as heading; we can include location in About the role paragraph? The posting includes "Location: Remote". That's substantive. We should preserve it. Where to put? Could add to About the role paragraph after Role Overview. Or we could make a separate section? Not needed. We'll add a sentence: "Location: Remote." within About the role

              . Also "Role Overview Our organization is seeking an F5 Engineer to join our team." That's part of Role Overview. We'll keep. Now craft HTML. Structure:
