We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we need to use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We need to parse the posting: It includes location list, then repeated intro, then job title line, then description about EY FSO, then "The Opportunity:" which seems like responsibilities? Then "Your Key Responsibilities:" list bullet points. Then "AI and Engineering Skills:" list. Then "Software Engineering:" list. Then "Soft Skills and additional attributes for success:" list. Then "Bachelor’s degree preferred..." etc. Then "Ideally, you’ll also have..." then "Prior consulting experience". Then "What We Offer You At EY, we’ll develop you..." truncated. We need to extract substantive content for sections: About the role (maybe the intro paragraphs about EY and the opportunity). Responsibilities (Your Key Responsibilities). Requirements (maybe the bullet list under AI and Engineering Skills, Software Engineering, Soft Skills). Qualifications (education, years experience). Skills (maybe combine AI and Engineering Skills, Software Engineering, Soft Skills). Benefits (What We Offer You). Pay and Schedule not present, so omit. We must not repeat job title as heading. Also not include Job ID etc. We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent. Remove boilerplate like cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. There's none. We need to output only HTML fragment, using

for section headings,
  • for lists,

    for prose. We need to decide sections: About the role (intro paragraphs). Responsibilities (Your Key Responsibilities). Requirements (maybe combine education/experience). Qualifications (maybe same as Requirements? Could separate). But we should avoid thin sections. Perhaps combine Requirements and Qualifications into one "Requirements" section covering education, experience, plus plus. Skills could be separate "Skills" section covering AI and Engineering Skills, Software Engineering, Soft Skills. Benefits section from "What We Offer You". Let's do:

    About the role

    with paragraphs describing EY FSO, opportunity.

    Responsibilities

    with ul of Your Key Responsibilities.

    Skills

    with ul combining AI and Engineering Skills, Software Engineering, Soft Skills (maybe separate subheadings? But we cannot add extra headings beyond allowed list? We could still have nested
      but headings only for sections. Could combine all bullet points into one big list; but that may lose categorization but still preserve content. However we need to preserve all substantive info; merging is okay as long as we don't lose detail. Could also create subheadings inside Skills using

      ? Not allowed per instruction: only use

      for section headings. It didn't forbid other headings, but says use

      for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities...). It doesn't forbid other headings, but safer to stick to

      only for sections. Could use

      for intro before list. We could have Skills section with three

      paragraphs each introducing subcategory then

        . That's okay.

        Requirements

        with education, years experience, plus plus list (the "Demonstrated experience in the following areas will be a huge plus:" list). Also maybe include "Ideally, you’ll also have Master’s degree..." and "Prior consulting experience". Those are also requirements/qualifications. We need to ensure we don't create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. Now extract content. Let's copy relevant paragraphs.

Join EY and help to build a better working world. Forward Deployed Engineer – Applied AI - Senior Manager - Financial Services EY is the only professional services firm with a separate business unit (“FSO”) that is dedicated to the financial services marketplace. Our FSO teams have been at the forefront of every event that has reshaped and redefined the financial services industry. If you have a passion for rallying together to solve the most complex challenges in the financial services industry, come join our dynamic FSO team! The business problems our clients are facing today are not the same problems they have faced in the past. The rapid pace of development in Artificial Intelligence and the technology that enables it has created an urgent need to innovate and adapt to the new global business paradigm. Financial institutions are looking to build smarter and more efficient ways to operate their business, create new revenue streams, and better manage risk, through new opportunities uncovered by their data. We believe that to fully unlock the potential of Artificial Intelligence, we need to look not only at its application, but also at the strategy level for how best to transform the enterprise into one that is technology and data focused and ready for the new age. Our clients’ problems are becoming increasingly complex while at the same time the need to automate and streamline is rising. The Opportunity: Leads the definition and delivery of AI system design principles, reference architectures, and engineering standards for highly complex AI/ML initiatives across the organization. Brings deep technical authority, exceptional hands-on engineering experience, and the ability to shape long-term technology direction while also leading complex project and program outcomes.
