Lead Engineer I, Solution Architecture
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which headings to use based on content. We have About the role (intro). Responsibilities (list). Qualifications (list). Benefits (description). Schedule (description). Possibly Skills? Not separate; qualifications include skills. We'll not create Skills if not explicit. Requirements maybe same as Qualifications; but we can use Qualifications heading. We'll not create Pay.
We must preserve all substantive information. Remove boilerplate: EEO, visa sponsorship details? Actually visa sponsorship is substantive: "Applicant must be authorized to work in the U.S. without the need for employment-based visa sponsorship now or in the future; KPMG LLP will not sponsor applicants for U.S. work visa status for this opportunity (no sponsorship is available for H 1B, L 1, TN, O 1, E 3, H 1B1, F 1, J 1, OPT, CPT or any other employment-based visa)". That's a requirement; we should keep it under Qualifications or Requirements. We'll include it in Qualifications list.
Also remove duplicated lines, navigation, cookie, legal, EEO, scam-warning, application instructions. Remove "No phone calls or agencies please." etc. Remove "KPMG recruits on a rolling basis." etc. Remove "Los Angeles County applicants: Material job duties..." that's specific to location; maybe keep? It's about criminal history; might be considered boilerplate? It's location-specific legal notice. Might be considered boilerplate; but it's substantive about Fair Chance Act. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. This is legal (Fair Chance Act). Likely to be removed. We'll remove that paragraph.
Also remove "KPMG offers a comprehensive compensation and benefits package." duplicate. Keep benefits description.
We need to preserve all substantive information: responsibilities list, qualifications list, benefits description, schedule info (PTO, holidays, breaks). Also the intro about KPMG culture and mission.
Let's extract:
Intro paragraph: "Known for being a great place to work and build a career, KPMG provides audit, tax and advisory services for organizations in today's most important industries. Our growth is driven by delivering real results for our clients. It's also enabled by our culture, which encourages individual development, embraces an inclusive environment, rewards innovative excellence and supports our communities. With qualities like those, it's no wonder we're consistently ranked among the best companies to work for by Fortune Magazine, Consulting Magazine, Seramount, Fair360 and others. If you're as passionate about your future as we are, join our team. KPMG is currently seeking a Lead Engineer I, Data and Information Architecture to join our Advisory Digital organization."
That's about the role.

- Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders, communicating complex technical concepts effectively and mentoring teams on emerging technologies and industry trends
- Act with integrity, professionalism, and personal responsibility to uphold KPMG's respectful and courteous work environment
Qualifications:
- Minimum five years of recent professional experience in network administration, system administration, software development, information security, or related technical disciplines
- Bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university in computer science, engineering, or a related field or five years of equivalent practical experience is preferred or minimum of a high school diploma or GED is required
- Proven experience designing and delivering cloud-first solutions on Microsoft Azure, Microsoft Fabric, and Microsoft 365 platforms

- Experience with Microsoft and Azure data platforms, including Fabric, Power BI, Azure Databricks, Azure Synapse, SQL Server, DocumentDB, and Azure Data Factory
- Strong communication and leadership skills, with demonstrated success influencing architecture decisions, establishing technical standards, and continuously adapting to emerging technologies
- Applicant must be authorized to work in the U.S. without the need for employment-based visa sponsorship now or in the future; KPMG LLP will not sponsor applicants for U.S. work visa status for this opportunity (no sponsorship is available for H 1B, L 1, TN, O 1, E 3, H 1B1, F 1, J 1, OPT, CPT or any other employment-based visa)
Benefits:
- In addition, KPMG is proud to offer a comprehensive, competitive benefits package, with options designed to help you make the best decisions for yourself, your family, and your lifestyle. Available benefits are based on eligibility. Our Total Rewards package includes a variety of medical and dental plans, vision coverage, disability and life insurance, 401(k) plans, and a robust suite of personal well-being benefits to support your mental health.
- Depending on job classification, standard work hours, and years of service, KPMG provides Personal Time Off per fiscal year. Additionally, each year KPMG publishes a calendar of holidays to be observed during the year and provides eligible employees two breaks each year where employees will not be required to use Personal Time Off; one is at year end and the other is around the July 4th holiday.
- Additional details about our benefits can be found towards the bottom of our KPMG US Careers site at Benefits & How We Work. Follow this link to obtain salary ranges by city outside of CA: https://kpmg.com/us/en/how-we-work/pay-transparency.html/?id=8140_9_26
But we should not include the link? It's about salary ranges; but we are not making Pay section. However the link is part of benefits description? It's about pay transparency. Might be considered boilerplate? It's a link to salary ranges. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The link is not exactly those; but it's about pay transparency. Since we are not making Pay section, we could still keep the link as part of Benefits? But it's about salary ranges, which is pay. Might be considered pay info. Since we are not making Pay section because no specific range, maybe we can still include the link under Benefits as a reference. However the instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." Benefits section is okay because they state benefits. The link is about pay transparency; could be considered part of benefits? It's about pay. Might be better to omit the link as it's not substantive benefit description. But it's a link to salary ranges; could be considered pay info. Since we are not making Pay section, we could drop the link. The sentence: "Additional details about our benefits can be found towards the bottom of our KPMG US Careers site at Benefits & How We Work. Follow this link to obtain salary ranges by city outside of CA: https://kpmg.com/us/en/how-we-work/pay-transparency.html/?id=8140_9_26". The first part about benefits details is okay; second part about salary ranges is pay. We could keep the first sentence and drop the link sentence. That preserves substantive benefit info.
Schedule: we have "Depending on job classification, standard work hours, and years of service, KPMG provides Personal Time Off per fiscal year. Additionally, each year KPMG publishes a calendar of holidays to be observed during the year and provides eligible employees two breaks each year where employees will not be required to use Personal Time Off; one is at year end and the other is around the July 4th holiday." That's schedule info.
We'll create Schedule section with that.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So we will not have Lead Engineer I...>. We'll start with About the role.
We must output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown.
