We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections present: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes: About Symbiotic (company description) maybe not needed as heading? The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should map content to those headings. The posting includes "About Symbiotic" (company overview) maybe not exactly "About the role". There's "Our People" (team description). There's "The Role" description. Then "What you'll do:" (responsibilities). Then "Who You Are:" (requirements/qualifications/skills). Then "This is a full time, fully remote role." (schedule? maybe schedule info). No explicit Pay or Benefits. So we should not create Pay/Benefits sections because not stated. Also schedule: we have "full time, fully remote role." That's schedule info (full-time, remote). So we can include a Schedule section with that. Benefits not mentioned, so omit. Pay not mentioned, omit. We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. No job title given explicitly; ignore. We need to use

for each section heading. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate etc. The posting includes some boilerplate like "Backed by Paradigm..." etc. That's substantive? It's about company backing; we can keep as part of About Symbiotic maybe. But we need to decide which sections to include. We have content: - About Symbiotic: description of Symbiotic, infrastructure, backed by Paradigm etc., powering vaults, stakers, operators, etc. Also "See how Symbiotic is powering the next generation of onchain finance: symbiotic.fi". That's substantive. - Our People: description of team, backgrounds, work culture. - The Role: description: senior commercial role working closely with CEO and product leads, operate across product suite driving partnerships, DeFi integrations and strategic alliances. - What you'll do: list of duties (support leadership team with business development across product verticals: streamlining partner pipelines, keeping CRM current with call notes, coordinating materials, research and project management. Bring a strategic angle to Symbiotic's commercial strategy. Identify market opportunities and strategic alliances that position Symbiotic to win market share with an unfair advantage over its competitors. Keep up-to-date intelligence on target accounts. Leverage your network to open doors and accelerate deals. Collaborate with leadership and the product team to develop and execute Symbiotic's growth strategy. Engage with our customer base and the broader DeFi community, gather feedback on Symbiotic's offering, and incorporate insights into product roadmaps and development initiatives.) - Who You Are: list of qualifications/skills: Strong evidence of commercial success. Strong negotiator with real pushing power. Deep, pre-existing network among liquid crypto-native funds, DeFi curators and blue-chip protocol founders. DeFi-fluent operator. You have a track record of driving measurable growth in TVL, liquidity or protocol adoption. You understand value flows across lending, CDPs, DEXs and yield-bearing stablecoins, and can explain what each category needs to get right to win. You know the plumbing. You've worked as or alongside curators, allocated capital into on-chain assets and vaults, and built or run liquidity mining programmes. You understand how governance works and how the major protocols make decisions, and you've taken an asset or product through that process to get it integrated. Winning mentality and the ability to work independently. Deep understanding of the lending and borrowing product landscape. Entrepreneurial mindset and a passion for building on-chain financial applications. Technical background is a bonus. TradFi experience is a bonus. CRM experience (Hubspot) is a bonus. - This is a full time, fully remote role. We do not hire contractors or do B2B contracts. Thus we can have sections: - About the company? The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we can adapt: "About the role" could be the role description (The Role). "Responsibilities" for What you'll do. "Requirements" maybe for Who You Are (core requirements). "Qualifications" maybe for bonuses? But we could combine. However we should not create sections with filler. We need to decide which headings to use based on content. We have content for: - About the role: The Role description (senior commercial role...). That's substantive. - Responsibilities: What you'll do list. - Requirements: Who You Are list (core requirements). Could be split into Requirements and Skills? The posting includes both required and bonus skills. We could have Requirements (mandatory) and Skills (bonus). But the instruction says use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We could map: Requirements = mandatory qualifications; Skills = bonus skills (technical background, TradFi experience, CRM experience). Qualifications maybe not needed if we already have Requirements. But we could include Qualifications as same as Requirements? Might be redundant. Better to have Requirements (mandatory) and Skills (bonus). Avoid Qualifications if not distinct. - Schedule: full time, fully remote role. Also note we do not hire contractors or B2B contracts (maybe also schedule? but it's about employment type). Could include in Schedule. - About the company: Not in the list of headings but we could include as a heading like "About Symbiotic"? The instruction says use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says e.g., not limited to those? It says use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely they expect those headings only. But we could also include "About Symbiotic" as a heading? It's not in the list but could be considered a section heading. However they said "use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." This implies those are examples; we can use other headings if needed, but better to stick to those. The company description could go under "About the role"? Not ideal. But we could include a brief paragraph before headings without a heading? The instruction says use

    for section headings. It doesn't forbid having prose without heading. But we should avoid extra headings that are not needed. We could put the company description as a

    before any headings. That's acceptable. Thus output:

    About Symbiotic ...

    Then

    About the role

    ...

    Then

    Responsibilities

    • ...
    • ...
    Then

    Requirements

    • ...
    • ...
    (mandatory) Then

    Skills

    • Technical background is a bonus.
    • TradFi experience is a bonus.
    • CRM experience (Hubspot) is a bonus.
    Then

    Schedule

    This is a full time, fully remote role. We do not hire contractors or do B2B contracts.

    We must ensure we preserve all substantive information. Let's extract exact sentences. About Symbiotic paragraph: "About Symbiotic Symbiotic is the infrastructure beneath collateral markets, where capital can secure financial obligations, remain productive, and be enforced by code. By changing the economics of onchain collateral, Symbiotic enables new categories of neofinance applications that were previously impossible to build - including credit, insurance, RWA liquidity, and more. As institutional capital increasingly moves onchain, Symbiotic is positioned to become the coordination layer connecting capital and risk across the onchain economy. Backed by Paradigm, Pantera, Cyber.fund, and Coinbase Ventures, we power 80+ vaults, 74,000+ active stakers, and 111 operators - with Chainlink and Cap Labs among the teams live in production. See how Symbiotic is powering the next generation of onchain finance: symbiotic.fi" We need to keep that exactly, maybe remove duplicate "About Symbiotic" at start? The string begins with "About Symbiotic Symbiotic". Might be a typo. We'll keep as is but maybe we should keep the content after "About Symbiotic". The instruction: do not repeat the job title as a heading; but this is not a heading. It's okay. Our People paragraph: "Our People We’re a tight-knit team of experienced builders working at the forefront of financial infrastructure. Our backgrounds span high-growth tech start-ups, leading crypto companies, major banks, insurers, and financial institutions. We work with ownership, a high bar for craft, and the urgency of an early-stage company - in an environment where people are trusted to take initiative and supported to do their best work. We’re looking for talented professionals to join us at a defining moment, as Symbiotic helps shape the next generation of onchain finance." We could include this as a

    before headings or maybe as part of About the role? But we have no heading for Our People. Could we include it as a

    after the About Symbiotic paragraph? Yes. The Role paragraph: "The Role This is a senior commercial role working closely with our CEO and product leads. You'll operate across Symbiotic's product suite driving partnerships, DeFi integrations and strategic alliances." We'll put that under About the role heading. What you'll do list: each bullet. We need to preserve each bullet exactly as in text. Let's extract: - Support the leadership team with business development across our product verticals: streamlining partner pipelines, keeping the CRM current with call notes, coordinating materials, research and project management. - Bring a strategic angle to Symbiotic's commercial strategy. - Identify market opportunities and strategic alliances that position Symbiotic to win market share with an unfair advantage over its competitors. - Keep up-to-date intelligence on target accounts. - Leverage your network to open doors and accelerate deals. - Collaborate with leadership and the product team to develop and execute Symbiotic's growth strategy. - Engage with our customer base and the broader DeFi community, gather feedback on Symbiotic's offering, and incorporate insights into product roadmaps and development initiatives. We'll put each as

  • . Who You Are list (mandatory): - Strong evidence of commercial success. You can walk us through deals and strategic alliances you've closed, and how you got them over the line. - Strong negotiator with real pushing power. You hold terms, you close, and you bring energy to a room. - Deep, pre-existing network among liquid crypto-native funds, DeFi curators and blue-chip protocol founders. - DeFi-fluent operator. You have a track record of driving measurable growth in TVL, liquidity or protocol adoption. - You understand value flows across lending , CDPs, DEXs and yield-bearing stablecoins, and can explain what each category needs to get right to win. - You know the plumbing. You've worked as or alongside curators, allocated capital into on-chain assets and vaults, and built or run liquidity mining programmes. - You understand how governance works and how the major protocols make decisions, and you've taken an asset or product through that process to get it integrated. - Winning mentality and the ability to work independently. - Deep understanding of the lending and borrowing product landscape. - Entrepreneurial mindset and a passion for building on-chain financial applications. Note there are some extra spaces: "lending , CDPs". We'll keep as is. Skills (bonus): - Technical background is a bonus. - TradFi experience
