On-siteEngineeringFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if real content. Must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; fold minor metadata into short p or drop.
We need to extract sections: About the role? The posting includes description: "Spectrum Reach® provides custom advertising solutions..." That's about the company/role. Could be "About the role" or "About Spectrum Reach". Use for section headings: e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to decide which sections have real content.
Content:
- Intro: "This role requires the ability to work lawfully in the U.S. without employment-based immigration sponsorship, now or in the future." That's a requirement (work authorization). Could be part of Requirements.
- Then description of Spectrum Reach: "Spectrum Reach® provides custom advertising solutions..." That's about the company/role.
- Then "As the Lead Data Scientist, you are responsible for leading the development of data-driven solutions..." That's responsibilities.
- Then "How You’ll Make An Impact" bullet list of responsibilities.
- Then "What You’ll Bring To Spectrum Reach" list of qualifications/skills.
- Then "Required Education" and "Required Related Work Experience".
- Then "Preferred Qualifications" list.
- Then "Preferred Education".
- Then "Here, our employees don’t just have jobs..." That's about benefits/pay? It mentions comprehensive pay and benefits package but no specifics. Since we cannot create Benefits/Pay/Schedule sections unless posting actually states them. It says "comprehensive pay and benefits package" but no details. That's vague; we should not create those sections because no specific content. The instruction: "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. 'commensurate with experience', 'not specified', 'N/A', 'varies', 'TBD')". So we should not create Benefits, Pay, Schedule sections.
- Then "A qualified applicant’s criminal history..." that's EEO/legal boilerplate; remove.
- Then "Get to Know Us Charter Communications..." that's about company; could be part of About the role.
- Then "Watch this video to learn more." boilerplate; remove.
- Then "Grow Your Career Here..." EEO etc; remove.
Thus we need sections: About the role (or About Spectrum Reach), Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe split into Required Education/Experience and Skills?), Qualifications (maybe Preferred Qualifications), Skills (maybe from What You’ll Bring). But we must not create thin sections; prefer few substantive sections.
We could combine Required Education/Experience and Skills into a "Qualifications" section. But we have both Required and Preferred. Could have "Qualifications" covering required and preferred. Or separate "Requirements" for required and "Preferred Qualifications" for preferred.

We need to use for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail.
Thus we need to include all bullet points from "How You’ll Make An Impact" as responsibilities list.
Also include bullet points from "What You’ll Bring To Spectrum Reach" as skills/qualifications.
Also include Required Education and Required Related Work Experience.
Also include Preferred Qualifications list.
Also include Preferred Education.
Also include work authorization statement.
Also include company description paragraphs.
We need to avoid duplication: there may be duplicated lines? Not seeing duplicates.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, scam-warning, cookie/navigation, application instructions.
Thus final HTML fragment:

We must not include any other sections like Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
Check for any leftover boilerplate: we removed EEO, legal, etc. Also removed "Get to Know Us Charter Communications..." but we kept some of that in About the role? Actually we kept the Spectrum Reach description; we omitted the Charter Communications paragraph. That's okay; we preserved substantive info about Spectrum Reach. The Charter Communications paragraph is about the parent company; could be considered About the role but it's generic; we could include it as part of About the role if we want to preserve all substantive info. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." The Charter Communications paragraph is substantive about the company. Should we include it? It says: "Get to Know Us Charter Communications provides superior communication and entertainment products for residential and business customers through the Spectrum brand. Our offerings include Spectrum Internet®, TV, Mobile and Voice. Beyond our connectivity solutions, we also provide local news, programming and regional sports via Spectrum Networks and multiscreen advertising solutions via Spectrum Reach. When you join our team, you’ll be keeping our customers connected to what matters most in 41 states across the U.S. Watch this video to learn more." The "Watch this video to learn more." is boilerplate; we should remove that line. The rest is substantive about Charter Communications. We could incorporate into About the role section.
Thus we can add a paragraph after the Spectrum Reach description: "Charter Communications provides superior communication and entertainment products for residential and business customers through the Spectrum brand. Our offerings include Spectrum Internet®, TV, Mobile and Voice. Beyond our connectivity solutions, we also provide local news, programming and regional sports via Spectrum Networks and multiscreen advertising solutions via Spectrum Reach. When you join our team, you’ll be keeping our customers connected to what matters most in 41 states across the U.S."
We must ensure not to include the video line.
Thus update About the role.
Also note there is a line: "Here, our employees don’t just have jobs, they're building careers. That’s why we offer a comprehensive pay and benefits package that rewards employees for their contributions to our success, supporting all aspects of their well-being at every stage of life." This is vague; we should not create Benefits/Pay sections. But we could include this as part of About the role? It's about benefits but vague; we should not create a Benefits section, but we could include it as a paragraph in About the role? The instruction: "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. 'commensurate with experience', 'not specified', 'N/A', 'varies', 'TBD') and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state they offer a comprehensive pay and benefits package but no specifics. That's still vague; but it's not a placeholder like "commensurate with experience". It's a statement that they offer a comprehensive pay and benefits package. Could be considered substantive? It's still vague but not a placeholder. However, creating a Benefits section would be thin. The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we should not create a Benefits section. We could include that sentence in About the role as a paragraph, but it's about benefits; still okay.
Thus we can add a paragraph: "Here, our employees don’t just have jobs, they're building careers. That’s why we offer a comprehensive pay and benefits package that rewards employees for their
