We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings where there is real specific content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Must preserve substantive info. We need sections: About the role (maybe Overview), Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include if posting has real specific content. We have Overview (first paragraph). That could be "About the role". Use

About the role

then

with overview text. Responsibilities: there is a "Key Responsibilities" section with subpoints. We'll put under

Responsibilities

then
  • each bullet. Requirements: there is "Required Qualifications". Could be Requirements or Qualifications. We'll map "Required Qualifications" to

    Requirements

    maybe. Also there is "Education And Experience Requirements". Could combine. We'll include both under Requirements. Qualifications: there is "Preferred Qualifications" and "Preferred Certifications". Could be

    Qualifications

    with preferred qualifications and certifications. Skills: maybe not explicit separate; but we could include skills within responsibilities. Probably not needed. Benefits: there is "Everforth Apex Benefits Overview:" with details. So include

    Benefits

    with
    • items. Pay: not mentioned. So omit. Schedule: not mentioned (no mention of schedule). Omit. We must not include headings with filler. Ensure we don't include placeholders. We need to preserve all substantive info; not invent or summarize away detail. Must keep details. We need to strip boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Job#: 3053377". Also remove "Everforth Apex is a world-class IT services..." that's company description maybe considered boilerplate? It's not exactly boilerplate but it's generic company description; but it's substantive? It's about the company; maybe we keep as part of About the role? The overview already includes description of role; the company description could be considered boilerplate but it's not legal/EEO. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Company description may be okay to keep? Might be considered not required but not prohibited. However they said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Could include a short paragraph about company under About the role? But the overview already includes role overview; we could add company description as part of About the role paragraph. We must not include "Everforth Apex uses a virtual recruiter..." that's application instructions; remove. Also remove "By applying for this job, you agree to receive calls..." that's application instruction/scamming warning; remove. Also remove privacy policy link etc. Also remove "Everforth Apex Benefits Overview:" we keep benefits. Now craft HTML. We'll need to escape any HTML special characters? Not needed. Let's extract overview text: "Overview The Client is seeking an experienced Senior Security Automation Engineer to support cybersecurity automation, custom security tool development, identity and access management, Linux-based security systems, enterprise security platforms, and security operations. This is a hands-on engineering role focused on designing, developing, implementing, integrating, and continuously improving security tools, applications, automations, systems, and services. The consultant will work with security architects, engineers, analysts, incident responders, and other stakeholders in a large, multi-tenant enterprise security environment." We can combine with maybe company description: "Everforth Apex is a world-class IT services company that serves thousands of clients across the globe. When you join Everforth Apex, you become part of a team that values innovation, collaboration, and continuous learning." Could add but not required. I'd include to preserve substantive info? It's not about role but company; still substantive. I'd include after overview. Now Responsibilities: list each bullet from "Key Responsibilities". There are subheadings: Security Automation and Custom Tool Development, Security Platform Engineering, Identity and Access Management Support, Linux Systems and Container Support, Security Operations Support, Monitoring, Reliability, and Continuous Improvement, Architecture and Stakeholder Collaboration. We need to capture each bullet under those headings? The instruction: Use
      • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can flatten all duty sentences into list items. Could also keep subheadings as

        ? But only allowed headings are

        for section headings. We could embed subheadings as inside
      • maybe. But better to keep as list items with the duty sentences.
