We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes "About Us" and then description of role. We need to use

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes "About Us" which is about company, not role. Could map to "About the role"? The description after "About Us" includes role description. We could create a section "About the role" with that prose. Then Responsibilities (list). Then Required Skills (maybe as Skills). Then Preferred Qualifications (maybe as Qualifications). Then Benefits (list). Education maybe could be part of Qualifications? But we have Education bullet. Could include under Qualifications or Requirements. Since we have Required Skills and Preferred Qualifications sections, we can map Required Skills to Skills, Preferred Qualifications to Qualifications. Education could be part of Qualifications as well, but we already have Qualifications section; we could include education there. However we must not repeat headings unnecessarily. We can have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Skills, Qualifications, Benefits. Pay and Schedule not present, so omit. We need to preserve all substantive information. Must not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include boilerplate like EEO, application instructions, etc. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we need to strip the equal-opportunity paragraph and the careers@intellum.com lines, also the "If you are an individual applying from CA..." etc. We need to keep the Benefits list exactly as given: Medical - 100% of employee premiums for selected individual plans Dental - 100% of employee premiums covered Vision - 100% of employee premiums covered LinkedIn Learning 401(k) plus matching (US Based Only) Flexible PTO Calm subscription Annual Company Retreat We need to format as
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So each bullet becomes
  • . For benefits, each line separate. For Responsibilities, each bullet line. For Skills (Required Skills) each bullet line. For Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications + Education) each bullet line? The Education bullet: "Bachelor's degree in a related field or equivalent practical experience. Equivalent experience is genuinely accepted for this role." That's two sentences but could be one
  • . We'll include as one. We must not repeat the job title as heading. The page already shows it, so we don't add a heading for Lead Systems Engineer. We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; none present. We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. Now produce HTML fragment:

    About the role

    ... prose from About Us and role description ...

    We need to preserve all substantive information from About Us and role description. Let's extract that paragraph: "Intellum is the leader in corporate education technology and powers the largest, most successful customer, partner, and employee learning programs in the world. Large brands and fast-moving companies like Google, Meta, Amazon, Walmart, Xero, Atlassian, Mailchimp, Airbnb, Stripe, and TikTok rely on Intellum to engage and educate the audiences they touch. We have always been a “remote first” company and are proud to have team members located all over the world. We value Curiosity, Creativity, Perseverance, and Kindness and strive to demonstrate these core values every day. Our culture is very important to us. We invest in our people in fun and exciting ways, including personal development budgets and an annual all-company retreat that is focused less on work and more on human connections. We are in growth mode, and our “smart growth” approach ensures that we will continue to scale our company effectively. The Lead Systems Engineer is a senior individual contributor responsible for the reliability, scalability, and modernization of Intellum's platform infrastructure. Intellum serves large enterprise customers with demanding availability expectations, and this role will help shape the technical direction for how our platform runs, deploys, and scales. This is a highly hands-on role with significant ownership across infrastructure architecture, cloud environments, deployment systems, observability, and platform reliability. The Lead Systems Engineer will also provide technical leadership across the Systems Engineering function through architecture guidance, mentorship, knowledge sharing, and strong operational standards. A key focus of this role is continuing to modernize the platform toward portable, container-orchestrated infrastructure, improving deployment and observability capabilities, and maintaining an architecture that can operate effectively across multiple cloud providers." We need to keep that as prose in

    . Possibly split into multiple paragraphs? The instruction: use

    for prose. Could be one

We need to extract each responsibility line: - Own and drive key infrastructure modernization initiatives, including the continued evolution from legacy compute environments toward modern, container-orchestrated infrastructure while maintaining reliable service for enterprise customers. - Design and maintain infrastructure as code across multiple cloud providers, ensuring infrastructure decisions support portability, maintainability, and long-term scalability. - Improve the reliability and maturity of Intellum's CI/CD systems and deployment tooling so releases are efficient, observable, and recoverable. - Provide technical leadership across the Systems Engineering team through mentorship, architecture guidance, knowledge sharing, and support for strong engineering practices. - Establish and evolve SLI and SLO practices, along with the monitoring, alerting, and load-testing capabilities needed to support platform reliability. - Participate in and provide leadership during platform incidents, including troubleshooting, root cause analysis, and follow-through on corrective actions. - Drive visibility into cloud infrastructure costs and incorporate cost considerations into architecture and infrastructure decisions. - Improve developer experience by evolving the infrastructure and tooling engineers depend on, including development environments, deployment workflows, and production feedback loops. - Partner closely with Security and Engineering teams on access controls, infrastructure hardening, compliance requirements, and secure infrastructure practices. - Identify operational and infrastructure risks early, recommend priorities, and help drive the technical roadmap for the Systems Engineering function. - Contribute to the continued development of the Systems Engineering team and function, including mentoring engineers and helping build strong technical practices as the organization evolves. - Perform other duties as assigned.
