Lead Mainframe Storage Engineer
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only include sections when posting has real specific content. We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate, navigation, EEO, etc. Also remove application instructions. We need to include Pay section only if posting actually states them. The posting includes multiple salary ranges per state: Cleveland, Ohio; Colorado; Illinois; Maine; Maryland; Massachusetts; Minnesota; Vermont; Virginia; Washington. Also mentions base pay etc. So we have Pay info. Benefits: they list benefits multiple times: medical, prescription drug, dental, vision, HSA, dependent day care, life insurance, disability, PTO, 20 vacation days, 10 paid holidays, 401(k), short/long term disability, other perks. So we have Benefits content.
Schedule: Not mentioned. So we should not include Schedule heading.
Qualifications: Might be covered by Requirements? The posting includes "What You’ll Bring To The Role" which lists Operating Systems, Software & Utilities, Connectivity, Analytical Thinking, Must have Skills, Nice To Have. That's qualifications/requirements/skills. We need to decide sections: Responsibilities (What You’ll Do In The Role). Requirements/Qualifications (What You’ll Bring To The Role). Skills maybe separate? But we can combine. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should include sections that have content. Likely we need About the role (intro paragraph about division, mission). Responsibilities (What You’ll Do). Requirements (maybe OS, software, connectivity, analytical thinking). Qualifications (maybe Must have Skills and Nice To Have). Skills could be separate but we can treat Must have Skills as Skills, Nice To Have as additional. But we must not create thin sections; prefer few substantive sections. Could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one? But we have headings list; we can choose to include Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay. Maybe also About the role. Let's see.
We need to preserve all substantive info. If we combine, we must not lose detail. We can include multiple - under each heading.
Let's extract content:
Intro paragraph: "In the Technology division, we leverage innovation to build the connections and capabilities that power our Firm, enabling our clients and colleagues to redefine markets and shape the future of our communities. This is a Lead Cloud & Infrastructure Engineering position at Vice President Level, which is part of the job family responsible for managing and optimizing technical infrastructure and ensuring the seamless operation of IT systems to support business needs effectively.

That's About the role.
Responsibilities: "What You’ll Do In The Role" bullet list:
- Infrastructure Management: Configure and maintain hardware including IBM DS8000 series DASD, TS7700 Virtual Tape Servers (VTS), that requires experience with the TS7700 MI and DS8K HMCs
- Data & Space Management: Utilize the DFSMS suite of products to design SMS configurations, manage data class, storage class, and management class rules.
- Backup & Disaster Recovery: Oversee data replication, disaster recovery planning, and routine backups, leveraging tools like DFHSM and DFDSS.
- Capacity Planning: Monitor storage utilization, forecast future space requirements, and plan infrastructure upgrades to prevent storage shortages.
- Automation & Scripting: Write and maintain automation scripts using REXX to streamline routine storage operations and alerts. For e.g. adding volumes to a storage group that is short on capacity.
- Incident Response: Troubleshoot storage-related outages, perform root cause analysis (RCA), and resolve dataset access issues.
We need to keep each as list items.
Requirements/Qualifications: "What You’ll Bring To The Role" includes:
Operating Systems: Deep knowledge of the IBM z/OS environment.
Software & Utilities: Proficiency with system utilities (ICKDSF, IDCAMS, IEBCOPY), and tape management systems (TLMS, RMM). Tivoli Advance catalog management (catalog management tool) and IBM Tivoli Advance allocation management for z/OS (allocation optimizer tool)
Connectivity: Understanding of FICON connectivity and z/OS access methods (VSAM, QSAM).
Analytical Thinking: Strong problem-solving abilities to execute complex storage migrations with minimal impact to production workloads
Then "Must have Skills" list:
- Replication and PPRC protocols. Metro Mirror, Global Mirror, Global Copy
- Cyber - Safe Guarded Copy
- Experience with Copy Services Manager, ESSNI etc.
- Resiliency - Hyperswap & Hyperwrite
- Performance - Hyperlinks
"Nice To Have":
- Certificate deployment and management for network connections
- Python or Perl Scripting
- GDPS
- Secure Vault (Cyber) - Physical and Virtual isolation.
- Cloud Storage for tape archival
We could treat "Must have Skills" as Skills section, and "Nice To Have" as additional maybe under Skills or Qualifications. But we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps combine Requirements (OS, Software, Connectivity, Analytical) and Skills (Must have) into one Requirements section, and Nice To Have as a separate "Preferred Qualifications" but we don't have that heading. Could include under Requirements as a sublist? But we must follow headings list; we can include Requirements and Skills both if they have substantive content. That's okay.
Benefits: list as described.
Pay: multiple salary ranges per state. We need to preserve all. Could present as
- for each location with range. Also note base pay determination etc. Also mention discretionary incentive compensation award etc. Also mention benefits again but we already have Benefits section.
We should not repeat benefits text multiple times; we can combine unique benefits once.
We need to remove boilerplate like EEO, application instructions, etc. Also remove repeated benefit paragraphs per state (they are same). We'll keep one benefits section.
Also remove lines like "Please visit mybenefits.morganstanley.com to learn more about our benefit offerings." That's part of benefits but maybe we keep as a link? It's not substantive detail? It's a reference; we could keep as part of benefits but it's not required. Might keep as a
with link? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. The link is substantive? It's a reference; we could keep but it's not essential. However it's not boilerplate; it's a pointer. Might keep.
Also remove "The application window is expected to close 11/30/2026." That's application instruction? It's a date; maybe we keep as it's substantive? It's about timeline. Could be considered application instruction but it's just info. The instruction says remove application instructions. This is not exactly instruction to apply but a date. Might keep? Safer to drop? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." The date is not exactly instruction to apply but could be considered part of application timeline. I'd drop it to be safe.
Also remove duplicated benefit paragraphs.

But nested lists may be okay. However we must use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Nested lists still okay.
Alternatively we could flatten: list each skill as separate
- . But we need to differentiate must have vs nice to have. Could include headings inside
- ? Not ideal. Could just list all skills with a note. But we must preserve detail; we can include subheadings inside
- as plain text. That's fine.
Simplify:

That preserves detail.
