Hybrid$101k–$207k/yrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: Pay, Benefits, maybe Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. The posting includes salary range and benefits details. Also includes "General Purpose" (role description) and "Essential Functions" (duties). Also "Minimum Qualifications", "Required Licenses And Certifications", "Required Knowledge And Skills". Also "Physical Demands / Work Environment". We need to map to headings: About the role (maybe General Purpose), Responsibilities (Essential Functions), Requirements (Minimum Qualifications?), Qualifications (maybe Required Licenses And Certifications?), Skills (Required Knowledge And Skills). Benefits and Pay sections as given. Schedule? Not given explicitly except hybrid environment expectation of working in office minimum 3 days per week. That's schedule info. Could include Schedule section. But rule: only include section if posting has real specific content. It does have hybrid environment expectation. So we can include Schedule.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate. We'll keep substantive info.
We need to use for section headings. Use
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can format as lists where appropriate.
We need to decide what goes into each section.
Pay: include salary range $101k to $207k with midpoint $154k, note new hires typically receive between minimum and midpoint, may go slightly higher based on experience, internal equity and market.
Benefits: list all benefits as given. Could be a
with each benefit as - . Need to preserve details.
Responsibilities: from "Essential Functions" (the long list). Could break into bullet list.
Requirements: maybe "Minimum Qualifications Education and Experience" plus "Required Licenses And Certifications". Could combine.
Qualifications: maybe "Required Knowledge And Skills". Could be separate.
Skills: maybe not needed if we used Required Knowledge And Skills as Skills.
But we need to avoid thin sections. Could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one? But rules: use headings for section headings (About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We can include those that have content.
We have About the role: from "General Purpose". Could be a paragraph.
Responsibilities: from Essential Functions.
Requirements: Minimum Qualifications Education and Experience + Required Licenses And Certifications.
Qualifications: maybe not needed if we covered. But we could put Required Knowledge And Skills under Skills.
Skills: Required Knowledge And Skills.
