We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Remove boilerplate. Preserve all substantive info. Include a section only when posting has real specific content. So we need to parse the posting. Let's extract content: - Opening: "Active Top Secret (TS/SCI) Clearance With Polygraph Is Required." That's a requirement. - "Visionist has an exciting new, fully FUNDED opportunity for a Full-Stack Software Engineer with a focus on the backend on our PRIME contract." That's about role. - "You will be joining an exciting mission centered around providing visualization and presentation services for the prototyping, development, and production of analytic tools. The team is responsible for reverse engineering captured databases through the development of a tool used to view acquired data and working hand in hand with analysts to pull data and place it into an ELK stack to make it easier to search and understand. You will have the chance to rotate within different teams on the project, developing and broadening your skillset. If this opportunity sounds exciting, then this is the place for you!" That's description. - "For over 15 years, Visionist has been solving the Intelligence Community's toughest software and analysis challenges. As a 100% employee-owned company, we prioritize our people—your job security is assured. We embed small engineering teams with analysts to rapidly identify and solve mission capability gaps playing a critical role in defending our nation’s cyber infrastructure & providing expertise in malware analysis, attribution, mapping adversarial infrastructure, pen testing, and operational planning. Our open-door leadership team fosters a supportive culture, where internal growth and promotion opportunities are the norm. Don’t just take our word for it—check out our 4.8-star review on Glassdoor. Join a company that feels like a family with regular happy hours, baseball games, activity clubs and more. Check us out at www.visionistinc.com." This is company info, maybe part of About the role or Benefits? It's more about company culture; could be part of About the role or maybe a separate section like "About Visionist". But we only have allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can put company culture under About the role or maybe Benefits? Probably About the role includes description. - "Your contributions are… Design, develop, and maintain full-stack applications with emphasis on backend services Build scalable data ingestion, parsing, and search pipelines for complex, relational datasets Implement repeatable solutions by leveraging Elastic, NodeJS, and modern frameworks Integrate datasets into searchable and user-friendly interfaces using React and Elastic Stack Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define requirements and deliver responsive solutions Optimize system performance, scalability, and reliability across the data lifecycle Contribute to continuous improvement of development practices, including automation and CI/CD" That's responsibilities. - "Requirements For Your New Career… Bachelor's degree in a technical discipline. (Additional 4 years of experience may substitute degree) 14 years of experience in software development Experience using Elastic Stack, JavaScript (NodeJS), and NiFi Experience with containerization and orchestration (e.g., Kubernetes), Git and modern version control workflows, CI/CD pipelines and automated deployment practices, and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI)/user experience design considerations (desired)" That's requirements/qualifications. - "Benefits of becoming a Visionist: Your New Career We are a 100% employee-owned company, so our employees see the benefit of their contributions and have a stake in our overall success! Competitive 15% retirement contribution! (5% 401K match & 10% ESOP) 4 weeks paid time off that is never “use or lose”, 12 paid holidays, comp time, overtime, AND flexible work hours 80 hours of paid parental leave with an additional $8,000 supplemental payment upon returning from maternity Medical, dental, & vision benefits for both individuals and families (those who waive medical benefits will receive an additional $4,160/year) Annual lifestyle bonus of $600 – use it towards gyms/fitness, new tech, or your HSA! Annual merit increases & performance-based bonuses Term life insurance, short-term disability, & long-term disability" That's benefits. - "Salary range: $180,000 - $225,000" That's pay. - "Disclaimer: Salary for this position, along with additional compensation options, will be determined on an individual basis following the interview process, considering various factors such as years of experience, skills, education/certifications, contract specifications, market conditions, etc." This is still about pay but maybe we can include in Pay section. - "Not a good fit? Check out our other opportunities: https://jobs.jobvite.com/visionist" That's application instruction/boilerplate, remove. - "Next steps: Apply online and one of our recruiters will reach out to you. We have a streamlined process of phone screen with a recruiter, interview with a Visionist team at our HQ in Columbia, MD, and that is all!" That's application instructions, remove. - "Interested in learning more about Visionist and the work we do? Check out our website! https://www.visionistinc.com/what-we-do" Remove. - "U.S citizenship required (green card holders and permanent residents are not eligible). Applicants selected will be required to obtain / maintain a government security clearance." That's a requirement (citizenship, clearance). Already have clearance requirement earlier. - "Visionist, Inc. is an Equal Opportunity / Protected Veterans / Individuals with Disabilities employer." That's EEO boilerplate, remove. Thus sections: - About the role: include mission description, company info maybe. - Responsibilities: list of contributions. - Requirements: include clearance, citizenship, degree, experience, specific tech. - Qualifications: maybe same as Requirements? Could combine. But we need to avoid duplicate sections. Could have Requirements and Qualifications separate if distinct. The posting lumps them: "Requirements For Your New Career…" includes degree, experience, etc. Could treat that as Requirements. Qualifications maybe not separate. - Skills: maybe list of specific tech like Elastic Stack, NodeJS, NiFi, Kubernetes, Git, CI/CD, HCI/UX desired. Could be under Skills. - Benefits: list. - Pay: salary range. - Schedule: not mentioned (flexible work hours mentioned under benefits). Could include schedule under Benefits? But we have a Schedule heading only if posting states schedule. It mentions flexible work hours, but not specific schedule. Might not create Schedule section. We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must not invent or summarize away detail. Must preserve all substantive info. So we need to include each piece. Let's craft HTML:

    That seems good.

    Responsibilities

    • Design, develop, and maintain full-stack applications with emphasis on backend services
    • Build scalable data ingestion, parsing, and search pipelines for complex, relational datasets
    • Implement repeatable solutions by leveraging Elastic, NodeJS, and modern frameworks
    • Integrate datasets into searchable and user-friendly interfaces using React and Elastic Stack
    • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define requirements and deliver responsive solutions
    • Optimize system performance, scalability, and reliability across the data lifecycle
    • Contribute to continuous improvement of development practices, including automation and CI/CD

    Requirements

    • Active Top Secret (TS/SCI) clearance with polygraph required
    • U.S. citizenship required (green card holders and permanent residents are not eligible)
    • Bachelor's degree in a technical discipline (additional 4 years of experience may substitute degree)
    • 14 years of experience in software development
    • Experience using Elastic Stack, JavaScript (NodeJS), and NiFi
    • Experience with containerization and orchestration (e.g., Kubernetes), Git and modern version control workflows, CI/CD pipelines and automated deployment practices
    • Human-Computer Interaction (HCI)/user experience design considerations (desired)
    We could also add "Ability to obtain/maintain government security clearance" but we already have clearance.

    Skills

    • Elastic Stack
    • NodeJS
    • NiFi
    • Kubernetes (containerization/orchestration)
    • Git and modern version control workflows
    • CI/CD pipelines and automated deployment practices
    • React
    • Elastic Stack (again? maybe redundant) but we can keep.
    • HCI/UX design (desired)
    But note that some of these overlap with Requirements. Might be redundant but we need to preserve all substantive info. The posting lists those under Requirements; we could treat them as Requirements and not duplicate in Skills. However the instruction says we can have Skills section if posting has real specific content for it. The posting does list specific skills/experience; we could put them under Requirements and not have Skills. But we need to decide. Better to have Requirements include degree, experience, clearance, citizenship. Skills include specific tech: Elastic Stack, NodeJS, NiFi, Kubernetes, Git, CI/CD, React, HCI/UX. That seems reasonable and avoids duplication. Thus Requirements: clearance, citizenship, degree, experience. Skills: list of tech. Now Benefits:
