IT Systems Engineer (SE)
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Include sections only if posting has real specific content. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove Job ID etc.
We need to preserve all substantive information.
Let's parse the posting:
Job Title: IT Systems Engineer (SE) – not to be repeated as heading.
Job Category: Engineering – maybe not needed.
Time Type: Full time – maybe not needed.
Minimum Clearance Required to Start: TS/SCI with Polygraph – important.
Employee Type: Regular – maybe not needed.
Percentage of Travel Required: None – maybe not needed.
Type of Travel: None – maybe not needed.
Then description: "We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated IT System Engineer (SE) to join our technical team. As an IT System Engineer, you will be responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining the infrastructure that powers our operations. Your expertise will ensure the stability, security, and efficiency of our IT systems. This role requires a proactive problem-solver with a deep understanding of system architecture, network management requirement management processes. The ideal candidate will have prior experience with capturing customer requirements, designing and implementing enterprise level system such as ServiceNow."
Then "Responsibilities" heading and list.
Then "Required Qualifications" list.
Then "Desired Qualifications" list.
Then "What You Can Expect" paragraph(s) about culture, environment, growth.
Then "Pay Range" paragraph with details and then "The Proposed Salary Range For This Position Is $113,200 - $237,800"
Then EEO boilerplate to remove.
We need sections: About the role (maybe the introductory paragraph). Responsibilities. Requirements (maybe combine Required Qualifications?). Qualifications (maybe Desired Qualifications?). Skills (maybe list skills from responsibilities?). Benefits (maybe from "What You Can Expect" includes benefits? Actually they talk about culture, flexible time off, learning resources, etc. Not explicit benefits list. They mention "comprehensive benefits such as; healthcare, wellness, financial, retirement, family support, continuing education, and time off benefits." That's in the Pay Range paragraph? Actually after "Our broad and competitive mix of benefits options is designed to support and protect employees and their families. At CACI, you will receive comprehensive benefits such as; healthcare, wellness, financial, retirement, family support, continuing education, and time off benefits." That is benefits content. So we can create Benefits section.
Pay section: we have salary range.
Schedule: maybe not given; they said Full time but no schedule details. Should we include Schedule? Only if posting has real specific content. It says Time Type: Full time. That's not a schedule detail like "Monday-Friday, 9-5". Might be considered schedule? The instruction: "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. 'commensurate with experience', 'not specified', 'N/A', 'varies', 'TBD')". "Full time" is specific enough? It's a schedule type. Could be considered schedule content. However they said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Might be okay to include Schedule with "Full time". But we also have Time Type: Full time earlier. Might be redundant. Could embed schedule in About the role? Probably better to include Schedule section with "Full time". But we need to see if any other schedule details like shift, remote, etc. Not present. So maybe we omit Schedule because it's not detailed enough? The instruction says avoid filler/placeholder text like "not specified". "Full time" is not placeholder; it's actual. So we could include.
But we also have Pay section with salary range.
We need to use for each section heading.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail.
We need to remove duplicated lines.
Let's extract content.
Introductory prose: "We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated IT System Engineer (SE) to join our technical team. As an IT System Engineer, you will be responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining the infrastructure that powers our operations. Your expertise will ensure the stability, security, and efficiency of our IT systems. This role requires a proactive problem-solver with a deep understanding of system architecture, network management requirement management processes. The ideal candidate will have prior experience with capturing customer requirements, designing and implementing enterprise level system such as ServiceNow."
We could put that under About the role.
Responsibilities: list after "Responsibilities". Let's capture each bullet.
From posting:
Responsibilities
- Design and develop ServiceNow system architecture, including hardware and software components, to meet functional requirements.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to gather, analyze, and manage system requirements, ensuring alignment with business objectives.
- Document system requirements, configurations, procedures, and best practices.
- Install, configure, and deploy server resources provided by third-party cloud services.
- and software updates. (This seems garbled: maybe "Install, configure, and deploy server resources provided by third-party cloud services and software updates." We'll keep as is.)
- Create technical documentation for system configurations and maintaining system-related reports.
- Prepare and document standard operating procedures and protocols for all designed and developed that ensures detailed project documentation.
- Document all system configuration changes in accordance with Information Systems Security best practices.
There may be more responsibilities later in Required Qualifications? Actually after Required Qualifications there is a long list of responsibilities again? Let's see: after Required Qualifications block, there is a paragraph: "Highly responsible, team-oriented individual with very strong communication skills and work ethic; self-starter. Strong documentation and verbal communication skills to collaborate with and convey focused messages to stakeholders, customers, domain experts, program managers and teammates encompassing architecture, high-level and detail system designs. Experience in deploying, configuring and maintaining enterprise level IT systems such as ServiceNow. Experience deploying cloud-based enterprise level applications such as in AWS and Azure. Experience with Linux administration and deployed Linux based systems Experience with system upgrades, patching and regular IT system maintenance Problem solving skills and ability to work under pressure. Ability to prioritize and manage work to critical project timelines in a fast-paced environment Coordinate with deployment team for approved release packages and break-fix solutions on ServiceNow in accordance with Configuration, Change, and Release Management policies and procedures Develop installation instructions and supporting documentation to affect system design deployments Work with a team to provide technical input in the areas of system design, installation, configuration, tuning, capacity planning, troubleshooting, and problem resolution Patches cloud servers and applications, configures software, responds to service outages, monitors system performance, and troubleshoots systems issues"
That seems like a continuation of responsibilities/skills. It's a bit messy. We need to preserve all substantive information; we should not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include that content somewhere. It could be part of Responsibilities or Skills. Since it's more about skills and experience, maybe we treat as Skills section. But we already have Required Qualifications and Desired Qualifications. The block after Required Qualifications seems to be a mix of skills and responsibilities. Let's parse:
"Highly responsible, team-oriented individual with very strong communication skills and work ethic; self-starter.
Strong documentation and verbal communication skills to collaborate with and convey focused messages to stakeholders, customers, domain experts, program managers and teammates encompassing architecture, high-level and detail system designs.
Experience in deploying, configuring and maintaining enterprise level IT systems such as ServiceNow.
Experience deploying cloud-based enterprise level applications such as in AWS and Azure.
Experience with Linux administration and deployed Linux based systems
Experience with system upgrades, patching and regular IT system maintenance
Problem solving skills and ability to work under pressure.
Ability to prioritize and manage work to critical project timelines in a fast-paced environment
Coordinate with deployment team for approved release packages and break-fix solutions on ServiceNow in accordance with Configuration, Change, and Release Management policies and procedures
Develop installation instructions and supporting documentation to affect system design deployments
Work with a team to provide technical input in the areas of system design, installation, configuration, tuning, capacity planning, troubleshooting, and problem resolution
Patches cloud servers and applications, configures software, responds to service outages, monitors system performance, and troubleshoots systems issues"
These are responsibilities/skills. We could incorporate them into Responsibilities list (maybe as additional items). However we already have a Responsibilities list earlier. To avoid duplication, we could merge them into one Responsibilities section, preserving all items. But we need to avoid duplicating lines that are same as earlier. Let's see if any duplicates: earlier responsibilities included design ServiceNow architecture, collaborate, document, install/configure/deploy server resources, create technical documentation, prepare SOPs, document config changes. The later list includes many similar items: experience deploying/configuring/maintaining ServiceNow, cloud apps, Linux admin, upgrades/patching, problem solving, prioritize, coordinate release packages, develop installation instructions, work with team for technical input, patch cloud servers, etc. Some overlap but not exact duplicates. We should keep all.
Thus we can create a single Responsibilities section with all items combined.
Now Required Qualifications: list:
- An Active TS/SCI Clearance with Polygraph
- BS degree in Computer Science, Engineering or related technical field; or 4 years of additional years of experience in lieu of a degree.
- Security+ or DoD 8570 IAT Level II Certification or be able to obtain certification within 3 months of hire
- ServiceNow CSA certification or able to complete CSA training within 3 months of hire.
- 4+ years of relevant experience in design, development, and implementation of software systems (Custom, COTS, GOTS), applications, and related products.
- Highly responsible, team-oriented individual with very strong communication skills and work ethic; self-starter.
- Strong documentation and verbal communication skills to collaborate with and convey focused messages to stakeholders, customers, domain experts, program managers and teammates encompassing architecture, high-level and detail system designs.
- Experience in deploying, configuring and maintaining enterprise level IT systems such as ServiceNow.
- Experience deploying cloud-based enterprise level applications such as in AWS and Azure.
- Experience with Linux administration and deployed Linux based systems
- Experience with system upgrades, patching and regular IT system maintenance
- Problem solving skills and ability to work under pressure.
- Ability to prioritize and manage work to critical project timelines in a fast-paced environment
- Coordinate with deployment team for approved release packages and break-fix solutions on ServiceNow in accordance with Configuration, Change, and Release Management policies and procedures

- Work with a team to provide technical input in the areas of system design, installation, configuration, tuning, capacity planning, troubleshooting, and problem resolution
- Patches cloud servers and applications, configures software, responds to service outages, monitors system performance, and troubleshoots systems issues
Wait, this looks like the Required Qualifications block actually includes many of the later items. Indeed the Required Qualifications section in the posting includes those items after the initial bullet points. Let's re-examine the posting:
