We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we have content: Responsibilities, Qualifications, About TikTok, Why Join Us, Diversity & Inclusion, TikTok Accommodation, Job Information (Pay Transparency). We must use for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should only include sections when posting has real specific content. We need to preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions). Also we should not repeat job title as heading (page already shows it). No Job ID/requisition numbers as headings.
We need to decide which sections to include: Responsibilities (yes). Qualifications (yes). About TikTok (maybe "About the role"? Actually "About TikTok" is company description; could be "About the role"? But we have "About TikTok" as a section describing company. The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can map sections accordingly: "About the role" could be used for company description? Might be okay. But we also have "Why Join Us", "Diversity & Inclusion", "TikTok Accommodation", "Job Information" (Pay Transparency). The instruction says include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. So we can include sections for Responsibilities, Qualifications, About the role (maybe using About TikTok content), Benefits (we have benefits described), Pay (we have compensation range), Schedule (maybe not present; we have ability to work 5 days a week in office - that's schedule info). So we can include Schedule section with that detail.
We should not include Requirements separate if covered by Qualifications. Skills maybe not explicit; we could omit.

We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So responsibilities list should be
. Qualifications list also . Benefits list also . Pay maybe just with salary range. Schedule maybe
.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all bullet points from Responsibilities and Qualifications (both Minimum and Preferred). Also include benefits details: medical, dental, vision insurance, 401(k) with company match, paid parental leave, short-term and long-term disability, life insurance, wellbeing benefits, 10 paid holidays, 10 paid sick days, 17 days Paid Personal Time (prorated). Also note that benefits may vary depending on nature of employment and country work location. Also mention day one access.
Also include Pay: base salary range $111,600 - $162,000 annually. Also mention compensation may vary outside range depending on qualifications etc. Also mention eligibility for discretionary bonuses/incentives, RSU.
Also include Schedule: Ability to work 5 days a week in office (from Minimum Qualifications). Also maybe mention hybrid? Not else.
Also include About the role: we have mission of TikTok's Global Security Organization description, plus About TikTok, Why Join Us, Diversity & Inclusion, TikTok Accommodation. We need to decide how to structure. Perhaps combine all into About the role section? But we have multiple subheadings; we could keep them as separate sections if they have specific content. However the instruction only lists certain headings; but we can still use other headings? It says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests those as examples. Safer to stick to those headings. So we need to map content to those headings.
Thus:
- About the role
: include mission of GSO, description of team, what they do, maybe also About TikTok, Why Join Us, Diversity & Inclusion, TikTok Accommodation? Might be too much but we can include all descriptive paragraphs under About the role.
- Responsibilities
: list bullet points.
- Qualifications
: include Minimum Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications as bullet lists (maybe separate subheadings? But we cannot add extra headings beyond h3? Could use
for subheadings? Probably okay to keep as plain text within the section. But we need to preserve all info. Could separate with Minimum Qualifications: etc.
-
Benefits
: list benefits.
- Pay
: salary range and bonus info.
- Schedule
: ability to work 5 days a week in office.
We must not include sections with placeholder text. All have content.
We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. The text includes "TikTok Accommodation" which is about reasonable accommodations; that's not boilerplate? It's a statement about accommodation; could be considered legal but it's substantive. Might keep. However it's under "TikTok Accommodation" heading; we could incorporate into About the role.
Also "Diversity & Inclusion" is substantive; keep.
Also "Why Join Us" is substantive; keep.
Thus About the role will contain multiple paragraphs: mission of GSO, About TikTok, Why Join Us, Diversity & Inclusion, TikTok Accommodation.
We must not repeat job title as heading; we aren't.
We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; none present.
Now produce HTML fragment.
