Lead Engineer II - F5 Technical Lead/SME
KPMG US · Orlando, FL · 1 mo ago
HybridFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes intro paragraph about KPMG, then "KPMG is currently seeking an Associate Director, Network Engineer – F5 Technical Lead to join our Digital Nexus organization." Then responsibilities list, qualifications list, then benefits paragraph, then maybe pay? There's a link to salary ranges but no explicit salary figure. The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit 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. Benefits: they mention "comprehensive, competitive benefits package" and list medical, dental, vision, disability, life insurance, 401(k), personal well-being benefits, PTO, holidays, breaks. That's specific enough to create Benefits section. Pay: they only give a link to salary ranges, no explicit range. That's not specific content; we should not create Pay section. Schedule: they mention standard work hours? They mention "Depending on job classification, standard work hours, and years of service, KPMG provides Personal Time Off per fiscal year." Not specific schedule; we should not create Schedule section unless explicit. So we will have sections: About the role? The intro paragraph about KPMG and the role could be considered "About the role". Use

with- each benefit. Also maybe include a short paragraph about work authorization etc? That could be part of Qualifications or separate? The visa sponsorship statement is a requirement; could be included in Qualifications as a bullet. We'll incorporate that.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, legal, scam warning, navigation, cookie, application instructions, etc. Also remove the "KPMG offers a comprehensive compensation and benefits package." duplicate? We'll keep benefits details.
We need to preserve all substantive information. 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 an Associate Director, Network Engineer – F5 Technical Lead to join our Digital Nexus organization."
We can put that in About the role.
