Lead Engineer II - F5 Technical Lead/SME
KPMG US · Tallahassee, FL · 1 mo ago
HybridFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes intro about KPMG, but we need sections only if real content. The job title is not to be repeated as heading. We need to include sections like About the role (maybe from intro), Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule if present. Let's parse.
Content:
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."
That's about the company; could be "About the role" or "About KPMG". The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can use "About the role" heading for that intro.
Then "KPMG is currently seeking an Associate Director, Network Engineer – F5 Technical Lead to join our Digital Nexus organization." That's basically job title line; we should not repeat job title as heading, but we could include it as a paragraph? Probably we can include it as part of About the role or just a short p.
Then "Responsibilities:" followed by bullet list (actually sentences separated by line breaks). We'll make
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can use "About the role" heading for that intro.
Then "KPMG is currently seeking an Associate Director, Network Engineer – F5 Technical Lead to join our Digital Nexus organization." That's basically job title line; we should not repeat job title as heading, but we could include it as a paragraph? Probably we can include it as part of About the role or just a short p.
Then "Responsibilities:" followed by bullet list (actually sentences separated by line breaks). We'll make - each.
Then "Qualifications:" with bullet list.
Then later: "KPMG LLP and its subsidiaries (“KPMG”) complies with all local/state regulations regarding displaying salary ranges. If required, the ranges displayed below or via the URL below are specifically for those potential hires who will work in the location(s) listed. Any offered salary is determined based on relevant factors such as applicant's skills, job responsibilities, prior relevant experience, certain degrees and certifications and market considerations. 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.

Thus we have content about Benefits and Pay (salary ranges). There's mention of salary ranges but not actual numbers; we should not create Pay section if only generic statement like "salary ranges displayed below or via URL". 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. The posting does state benefits details (medical, dental, vision, disability, life insurance, 401(k), personal well-being, PTO, holidays). So we can include Benefits section. For Pay, they mention salary ranges but not actual numbers; they say "If required, the ranges displayed below or via the URL below are specifically for those potential hires...". That's still a statement that salary ranges exist via link. Is that considered substantive? It's not a specific range, but they do mention that salary ranges are provided via URL. The instruction says never create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It does state that salary ranges are available via link. Might be considered stating them (though not giving numbers). Safer to include Pay section with a paragraph referencing the link. However they also say "KPMG offers a comprehensive compensation and benefits package." That's generic. I'd include Pay section with a short paragraph: "Salary ranges are available via the provided link (https://kpmg.com/us/en/how-we-work/pay-transparency.html/?id=6682_9_26)." That's not invented; it's from text.
Schedule: Not mentioned besides standard work hours, PTO, holidays. No explicit schedule like "full-time", "Monday-Friday". Not enough to create Schedule section. So omit.
Skills: Not separate; qualifications cover skills. Could combine but we already have Qualifications. Could also have Skills but not needed.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, visa sponsorship, etc. Remove those.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all details from responsibilities, qualifications, benefits, pay link.
We must not repeat job title as heading; but we can include it in a paragraph maybe under About the role.
Let's craft.
About the role paragraph: combine intro + "KPMG is currently seeking an Associate Director, Network Engineer – F5 Technical Lead to join our Digital Nexus organization."
We'll put that as
.
Responsibilities: list each bullet.
Qualifications: list each bullet.
Benefits: list bullet points from benefits description.
Pay: paragraph about salary ranges link.
Make sure to use
for each section heading.
No extra sections.

We need to keep that visa statement? It's substantive but maybe considered boilerplate? It's a requirement. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Visa sponsorship statement is not exactly those categories; it's a requirement about work authorization. It's substantive. We'll keep it.
