We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role (position overview), Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe combine Required Qualifications), Skills? The posting includes many details. We must not repeat job title as heading. Use

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

    for prose. Do not include boilerplate like Interview Mode, Duration, etc? Those are metadata; we can fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it. The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it." So we can include location, duration, interview mode maybe as a short paragraph under About the role? But they said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we can have sections: About the role (position overview), Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe combine Required and Preferred?), Skills? But we have many qualifications; we can put them under Requirements as a list. Benefits, Pay, Schedule: not present, so omit those sections. Also we should not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include details like: Job Location: 100% Remote, Duration: 24 months, Interview Mode: 1st round remote via Teams, 2nd round onsite in New York, NY, CANDIDATES MUST BE ABLE TO GO TO 2ND ROUND INTERVIEW ONSITE IN NEW YORK, NY AND ONBOARD FOR 2-3 DAYS ONSITE IN NYC. This is metadata; we can fold into a short

    maybe under About the role or a separate "Details" section? But they said only include section when posting has real, specific content for it. Could we make a section "Details"? Not in the list of allowed headings; they gave examples: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should stick to those. So we can put the metadata in About the role paragraph. Thus About the role: include position overview plus job location, duration, interview mode, onsite requirement. Responsibilities: list all responsibilities bullet points. Requirements: include Required Qualifications bullet points. Skills: maybe we could separate but we can combine Required Qualifications as Requirements. Or we could have Requirements and Skills separate but we don't have explicit skills list separate; we could treat Required Qualifications as Requirements and maybe Preferred Qualifications as Skills? But they said "use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)". So we could have both Requirements and Qualifications sections. But we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps combine Required and Preferred into Requirements? Or have Requirements (Required) and Skills (Preferred). However the instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So better to have fewer sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (including both required and preferred). Could also have Skills but maybe not needed. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no

    for job title. We must output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's craft:

    We need to preserve all substantive information from responsibilities and qualifications.

Preferred Qualifications bullet points: - Experience automating Nutanix AHV and VMware provisioning and configuration. - Experience with Loki and Alertmanager. - Experience supporting Windows infrastructure in addition to Linux environments. - Experience creating and maintaining standardized Linux and Windows golden images. - Experience automating disaster recovery, infrastructure restoration, and recovery validation. - Experience supporting business continuity and cybersecurity-resilience initiatives. - Experience developing reusable Terraform modules and enterprise Ansible frameworks. - Experience integrating Vault secrets and certificate management into automated CI/CD workflows. - Experience supporting highly controlled, security-sensitive, or Operational Technology environments. - Experience implementing infrastructure standards designed to minimize configuration drift. - Strong understanding of infrastructure security, auditability, recovery, and operational resilience. Also "What We're Looking For" paragraph: we could incorporate into About the role or maybe a separate section but we can keep in About the role. Now About the role paragraph: combine Position Overview plus job location, duration, interview mode, onsite requirement, and what we're looking for. Let's craft:

    Our Fortune 500 client located in New York, NY is seeking an experienced Senior Infrastructure as Code Engineer - Nutanix, Terraform & Ansible to design, develop, and maintain automation solutions supporting critical Operational Technology (OT) infrastructure and enterprise applications.

    Job Location: 100% Remote. Duration: 24 months. Interview Process: 1st round remote via Teams, 2nd round onsite in New York, NY. Candidates must be able to attend the 2nd round onsite interview and onboard for 2‑3 days onsite in NYC.

    What We're Looking For: The ideal candidate is a hands‑on infrastructure automation engineer who thinks like an SRE, comfortable writing Terraform modules and Ansible automation, building Packer images, developing Azure DevOps pipelines, scripting with Python or Linux shell, and troubleshooting Nutanix, VMware, and Linux infrastructure, turning manual procedures into reusable, version‑controlled automation, establishing repeatable infrastructure baselines, improving observability, and building automated recovery capabilities.

    That seems good. Now Responsibilities: we need to list each bullet as
  • . Could group under headings? But we only allowed

    for section headings, not subheadings. So we can just have a flat list of all responsibilities. That will be long but okay. Similarly Requirements: list all required and preferred qualifications. We must ensure we don't miss any. Let's compile responsibilities list exactly as above. I'll produce
      with each responsibility as
    • . Ensure we preserve the exact phrasing. Let's list them: 1. Design, develop, maintain, and enhance Terraform modules for automated infrastructure provisioning and lifecycle management. 2. Build reusable Ansible playbooks, roles, and configuration automation frameworks. 3. Develop automation solutions that reduce manual infrastructure administration and eliminate configuration drift. 4. Implement Infrastructure as Code and Configuration
