We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 headings for sections present: About the role? Actually we have Job Description paragraph, then Job Responsibilities list, then Required Qualifications..., Preferred Qualifications..., About Us, About The Team. Also maybe "Pay" and "Schedule" not present, so omit. Benefits? Not explicit specific benefits listed? The About Us mentions benefits but not specific list; we should not create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It mentions "competitive total rewards package", "benefits include comprehensive health care coverage, on-site health and wellness centers, a retirement savings plan, backup childcare, tuition reimbursement, mental health support, financial coaching and more." That is specific benefits list. So we can include Benefits section with those items. Pay: Not specific numbers, just "base salary determined based on the role, experience, skill set and location." That's vague; we should not create Pay section because it's not specific. The rule: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text like "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD". "base salary determined based on the role, experience, skill set and location." is somewhat vague but not a placeholder; still it's not a specific number. Might be considered filler? Safer to omit Pay section. Schedule: not present. Thus sections: About the role? The initial paragraph could be considered "About the role". We'll use

About the role

with that paragraph. Responsibilities: list. Required Qualifications: list. Preferred Qualifications: list. About Us: paragraph. Benefits: list from About Us. About The Team: paragraph. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. We must remove boilerplate like EEO etc. The About Us includes EEO statements; we should remove those. Also remove "Visit our FAQs..." etc. Also remove "We are an equal opportunity employer..." etc. Also remove "JPMorgan Chase & Co. is an Equal Opportunity Employer, including Disability/Veterans". Also remove "About The Team" maybe keep but remove any boilerplate? The About Team paragraph is fine. We need to preserve all substantive information. So keep the description about benefits list. Let's extract responsibilities bullet points from the text: They are sentences separated by line breaks? Let's parse: "Job Responsibilities Executes creative software solutions, design, development, and technical troubleshooting with ability to think beyond routine or conventional approaches to build solutions or breakdown technical problemsUse domain modeling techniques to build best-in-class business products, structuring software for clarity, testability, and evolution. Develops secure and high-quality production code, and reviews and debugs code written by othersDrives team adoption of enterprise-authorized AI-assisted engineering practices within the work environment to improve code quality, delivery speed, and operational outcomes (e.g., AI-assisted code review/refactoring, test strategy acceleration, incident/root-cause analysis support), while establishing consistent validation standards (secure coding, peer review, automated testing) and promoting reuse of effective patterns across the team.Applies knowledge of tools within the Software Development Life Cycle toolchain, including enterprise-authorized AI-assisted development and automation capabilities, to improve the value realized by automation.Identifies opportunities to eliminate or automate remediation of recurring issues to improve overall operational stability of software applications and systemsPromptly investigate and resolve issues, ensuring they do not resurface.

Leads evaluation sessions with external vendors, startups, and internal teams to drive outcomes-oriented probing of architectural designs, technical credentials, and applicability for use within existing systems and information architecture" We need to split into list items. Likely each sentence is a responsibility. Let's break: 1. Executes creative software solutions, design, development, and technical troubleshooting with ability to think beyond routine or conventional approaches to build solutions or breakdown technical problems 2. Use domain modeling techniques to build best-in-class business products, structuring software for clarity, testability, and evolution. 3. Develops secure and high-quality production code, and reviews and debugs code written by others 4. Drives team adoption of enterprise-authorized AI-assisted engineering practices within the work environment to improve code quality, delivery speed, and operational outcomes (e.g., AI-assisted code review/refactoring, test strategy acceleration, incident/root-cause analysis support), while establishing consistent validation standards (secure coding, peer review, automated testing) and promoting reuse of effective patterns across the team. 5. Applies knowledge of tools within the Software Development Life Cycle toolchain, including enterprise-authorized AI-assisted development and automation capabilities, to improve the value realized by automation. 6. Identifies opportunities to eliminate or automate remediation of recurring issues to improve overall operational stability of software applications and systems 7. Promptly investigate and resolve issues, ensuring they do not resurface. 8. Continuously update technologies and patterns to keep systems current. 9. Design and build solutions that avoid single points of failure using scalable architectural patterns. 10. Design and build scalable, secure, and reliable solutions by leveraging modern architectural patterns that ensure zero-downtime releases and optimize data performance. 11. Leads evaluation sessions with external vendors, startups, and internal teams to drive outcomes-oriented probing of architectural designs, technical credentials, and applicability for use within existing systems and information architecture. Now Required Qualifications: list: "Formal training or certification on software engineering concepts and 5+ years applied experience Hands-on practical experience delivering system design, application development, testing, and operational stability Proficiency in back-end technologies (Java and Python) with experience building microservices-based applications; proficiency also includes front-end technologies (e.g., HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Typescript, React, Angular). Demonstrated experience leading effective use of approved AI-assisted software development tools (e.g., for coding, code review, test acceleration, troubleshooting) with the ability to set team expectations for validating AI outputs for correctness, performance, and security. Strong understanding of responsible AI use in engineering workflows, including data sensitivity considerations, secure handling of inputs/outputs, and adherence to resiliency and security expectations; experience coaching engineers on safe, compliant adoption within delivery practices Hands-on experience designing and building scalable applications using SQL or NoSQL databases. Experience with agentic AI protocols (e.g., MCP, AG-UI) and frameworks such as Lang Chain, Lang Graph Experience with agile development methodologies (e.g., Scrum) and an understanding of the software development life cycle. Proficient in all aspects of the Software Development Life Cycle Advanced understanding of agile methodologies such as CI/CD, Application Resiliency, and Security Practical cloud native experience" We need to split into list items. Some lines may be combined. Let's make each bullet as separate. Preferred Qualifications: "In-depth knowledge of the financial services industry and their IT systems Strong soft skills, including presentation, negotiation, mentoring, and stakeholder management. Strong problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills. Ability to drive broader impact by sharing and contributing best practices. AWS certification." Now About Us paragraph: We need to keep substantive info: "JPMorganChase, one of the oldest financial institutions, offers innovative financial solutions to millions of consumers, small businesses and many of the world's most prominent corporate, institutional and government clients under the J.P. Morgan and Chase brands. Our history spans over 200 years and today we are a leader in investment banking, consumer and small business banking, commercial banking, financial transaction processing and asset management. We offer a competitive total rewards package including base salary determined based on the role, experience, skill set and location. Those in eligible roles may receive commission-based pay and/or discretionary incentive compensation, paid in the form of cash and/or forfeitable equity, awarded in recognition of individual achievements and contributions. We also offer a range of benefits and programs to meet employee needs, based on eligibility. These benefits include comprehensive health care coverage, on-site health and wellness centers, a retirement savings plan, backup childcare, tuition reimbursement, mental health support, financial coaching and more. Additional details about total compensation and benefits will be provided during the hiring process." We must remove EEO statements etc. So cut after "Additional details about total compensation and benefits will be provided during the hiring process." Then we can create Benefits section from the benefits list. Benefits list: comprehensive health care coverage, on-site health and wellness centers, a retirement savings plan, backup childcare, tuition reimbursement, mental health support, financial coaching and more. We'll make list items. About The Team paragraph: "J.P. Morgan's Commercial & Investment Bank is a global leader across banking, markets, securities services and payments. Corporations, governments and institutions throughout the world entrust us with their business in more than 100 countries. The Commercial & Investment Bank provides strategic advice, raises capital, manages risk and extends liquidity in markets around the world." Now construct HTML. We'll output:
