We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description about Airbnb, community, relevance and personalization team, difference you will make, typical day, expertise, location, inclusion, how we'll take care of you (pay range). We need to use

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should only include sections where there is real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate like EEO, scam warning, navigation, etc. Also remove application instructions. We need to preserve all substantive info. We need to decide sections: Perhaps "About the role" (intro about team, mission). "Responsibilities" (typical day bullet list). "Requirements" or "Qualifications" (expertise bullet list). "Skills" maybe overlapping. "Pay" (pay range). "Benefits" (maybe mention bonus, equity, benefits, Employee Travel Credits). "Schedule" maybe not present; location mentions remote eligible, occasional office, but not schedule. Could include "Location" but not in allowed headings; we could fold into a paragraph under About the role or maybe not create a section. The instruction: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says use those as examples but not limited? Probably we should stick to those headings. We can include Location as a paragraph inside About the role or maybe not a separate heading. Since they said "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it". So we can create sections for About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay. Schedule not present, so omit. We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. We must preserve all substantive info: The intro about Airbnb history, community, team, difference you will make, typical day bullet points, expertise bullet points, location paragraph, inclusion statement, how we'll take care of you (pay range, bonus, equity, benefits, Employee Travel Credits). Also reasonable accommodations note maybe keep? It's part of inclusion? Might be considered boilerplate but it's substantive about accommodations. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The reasonable accommodations note is not exactly EEO but could be considered part of inclusion; but it's a specific process for disability accommodation. Might be okay to keep as part of Inclusion & Belonging section? However we don't have a heading for Inclusion; we could fold into About the role or a separate paragraph. Since they said remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate, but this is about reasonable accommodation request; maybe keep as it's specific to process. However to be safe, we could keep a short paragraph about reasonable accommodations under Inclusion & Belonging but we don't have a heading for that. Could incorporate into a paragraph under "About the role" or maybe a separate

    after the sections. We need to avoid duplication: The posting repeats some lines like "Our Commitment To Inclusion & Belonging" and later "Reasonable Accommodations". We'll keep the substance but not duplicate. Let's extract substantive content: - Intro: Airbnb was born in 2007 when two hosts welcomed three guests to their San Francisco home, and has since grown to over 5 million hosts who have welcomed over 2 billion guest arrivals in almost every country across the globe.
