We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description. We need headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections where there is real specific content. We must not repeat job title. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Pay Transparency Disclosure" maybe part of Pay? The posting includes Pay: Annual Base Salary Range: $258,000—$376,000 USD. Also benefits described. So we can have Benefits and Pay sections. Schedule? Not mentioned explicitly besides full time role that can be held from US hubs or remotely in US. That's schedule? It's location and full-time. Could be considered Schedule? Probably not; schedule not given. So we omit Schedule. We need sections: About the role (intro paragraph), Responsibilities (list of duties), Requirements (maybe "We'd love to hear from you if you have:" list), Qualifications? Could combine Requirements and Qualifications? The instruction: use headings for those categories if content exists. We have "We'd love to hear from you if you have:" which is requirements. Also "While it’s not required, it’s an added plus if you also have:" that's preferred qualifications. Could put under Requirements (must-have) and Qualifications (nice-to-have). Or we could have Requirements and Qualifications sections. Skills: maybe not separate; could be covered. We need to preserve all substantive info. Let's extract. About the role: first paragraph up to "You will be the first engineering manager for the Growth Platform...". Actually the intro: "Figma is growing our team... join us! You will be the first engineering manager for the Growth Platform, and you’ll help shape its vision, starting with the Communications capability. The platform will grow as we prove value. You’ll partner with leadership to define the platform’s direction, assess existing technology, identify the next set of investments, and help evolve the vision through learning gained from shipping, customers, and overall ecosystem. While aiming for the sky in terms of longer term vision, you will deliver incremental value every sprint by being grounded in today's reality. This is a full time role that can be held from one of our US hubs or remotely in the United States." That's about the role. Responsibilities: bullet list under "What you’ll do at Figma:" includes multiple paragraphs each starting with bold? We'll extract each bullet. List: - Build and lead the team: Hire the initial engineers for the Growth Platform’s first team. Set the team’s culture, operating rhythm, and engineering standards. Mentor engineers, create career growth opportunities, and help scale the organization as scope expands - Build capabilities that unlock new experiments: This isn’t about building an experimentation platform—it’s about building the product capabilities (personalized messaging, self-service publishing, cross-system integrations) that make it dramatically easier for teams across Figma to run growth experiments without engineering bottlenecks - Leverage AI to scale quality and speed: Explore and integrate AI-driven approaches—for brand consistency checks, visual quality validation, copy generation, and experiment governance—that allow experiment volume to grow without proportional growth in manual review - Provide hands-on technical leadership: Guide architecture decisions, review system designs, and make build-vs-integrate choices - Partner across the company: collaborate with Marketing to align on cross-channel messaging, partner with growth teams to identify platform capability needs, and work with product teams to ensure growth messaging improves rather than detracts from the end-user experience - Shape the platform vision: Define what to build next based on adoption, impact, and what you learn from each phase. The roadmap will evolve as we learn—you’ll be central to how it evolves That's responsibilities. Requirements (must-have): "We'd love to hear from you if you have:" list: - 3+ years in engineering management, with a strong track record of building and shipping application platforms - 7+ years of software engineering experience at the application or product tier - Experience driving outsized impact from small changes—say, a UI layout change that lifted growth 20%—and energized by enabling such wins at 10x scale - Demonstrate strategic insight to optimize impact for both longer and short term. - Ability to operate effectively in ambiguous environments, delivering continuous value while building toward a longer-term platform vision - Track record of prioritizing by impact, leveraging existing assets to accelerate, and scaling through platform-level thinking - Experience working cross-functionally with marketing, product, design, and data Qualifications (nice-to-have): "While it’s not required, it’s an added plus if you also have:" list: - Experience at a product-led growth company during a period of multi-product expansion - Experience building platforms that enable non-engineering teams (marketing, design, content) to run experiments or publish content independently - Background in personalization systems, recommendation engines, or ML-driven content selection - Experience integrating with customer data platforms, marketing automation systems, or building user attribute services from product usage data - Familiarity with using AI for quality assurance, brand consistency, or content governance at scale - Experience with internationalization (i18n) and localization (l10n) infrastructure Benefits: paragraph after "At Figma, one of our values is Grow as you go..." includes benefits list: equity, competitive package of additional benefits, including health, dental, and vision coverage; retirement benefits with company contributions; parental leave and reproductive or family planning support; mental health and wellness benefits; and paid time off. Figma provides paid sick leave, holidays, and other leave benefits in compliance with applicable federal, state, and local laws, including the requirements of the Washington Minimum Wage Act and related regulations. Exempt employees are eligible for employer‑provided paid flexible PTO in addition to flexible paid sick leave. PTO is subject to manager approval. Additional benefits may include company recharge days, cell phone and home internet reimbursements, and a number of lifestyle spending accounts. Figma also offers sales incentive compensation for most sales roles and an annual bonus plan for eligible non-sales roles. All compensation and benefits are subject to applicable plan terms and may be modified by Figma at any time, consistent with applicable law. We need to preserve all substantive info; we can summarize as bullet list? The instruction: Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should turn benefits into list items. Pay: Annual Base Salary Range: $258,000—$376,000 USD. Also mention equity etc but that's benefits. We should not include boilerplate like EEO, accommodation, privacy, etc. Remove those paragraphs. Thus final HTML:
