Lead Cloud Architect
Cooley AI · Seattle, WA · 1 mo ago
$225k–$300k/yrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes "About Cooley AI" and "Position Summary". We need to use for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. We need to include sections only if posting has real specific content.
We have content:
- About Cooley AI: description.
- Position Summary: description of role.
- Specific duties and responsibilities: list of responsibilities.
- Required Skills & Responsibilities: includes skills and responsibilities (some overlapping). Also includes "After orientation..." etc.
- Preferred Bachelor’s degree (maybe under Qualifications)
- Competencies: list of competencies.
- Benefits: description of benefits.
- Pay: expected annual pay range $225,000 - $300,000.
- Schedule: not explicitly mentioned; maybe full-time schedule implied but not specific. The posting says "full-time schedule" in pay line. Could infer schedule is full-time but we should not create Schedule section unless posting actually states them. It does mention "full-time schedule". That is a statement about schedule. So we could include Schedule section with content "Full-time". However we need to avoid filler like "not specified". It is specified: full-time. So we can include Schedule.
We must not include boilerplate like EOE, etc. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we drop "EOE." and maybe "Please note that final offer amount will be dependent on geographic location, applicable experience and skillset of the candidate." That's part of pay details, we can keep but maybe it's okay. It's not boilerplate. Also "Senior level candidates may be considered for this position and would be eligible for a higher salary range based on experience." That's also pay detail.
We need to preserve all substantive information.
