We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings present in posting: About Us, How We Work, The Role and the Team (maybe subheadings: Department Overview, Role Overview, Expectations), Job Requirements (The What, The How), Why Proofpoint (including bullet list), Our Culture, maybe others. Must not repeat job title. No metadata like Job ID. Remove boilerplate like navigation, EEO, etc. Also remove application instructions (How To Apply). Also remove duplicated lines. Must preserve substantive info. We need to decide which sections to include based on content. Let's parse the posting: - About Us: description of Proofpoint. Keep. - How We Work: BRAVE core values description. Keep. - The Role and the Team: includes Department Overview, Role Overview, Expectations. Keep. - Job Requirements: includes The What and The How. Keep. - Why Proofpoint: includes bullet list of reasons (Competitive compensation, Comprehensive benefits, Career success on your terms, Flexible work environment, Annual wellness and community outreach days, Always on recognition for your contributions, Global collaboration and networking opportunities). Keep. - Our Culture: description. Keep. - Possibly also "How To Apply" but we must remove application instructions. So omit. - Also there is a line "Apply today and explore your future at Proofpoint!" which is application instruction; remove. - Also "If you need accommodation during the application or interview process, please reach out to accessibility@proofpoint.com." That's accommodation info; might be considered boilerplate? It's not EEO but still about application. Probably remove as it's application instruction. The instruction says remove application instructions. So remove that line. - Also "Why Proofpoint?" appears twice? There's a heading "Why Proofpoint Protecting people is at the heart..." then later "Why Proofpoint? At Proofpoint, we believe that an exceptional career experience includes a comprehensive compensation and benefits package." We'll combine? Probably keep both but avoid duplication. The first "Why Proofpoint" paragraph is about mission and culture; second is about compensation/benefits bullet list. We'll keep both under a Why Proofpoint section, maybe split into two paragraphs. - Also "Our Culture" section after that. Now we need to format with

for section headings. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We must not create sections like Pay, Schedule, Benefits unless posting actually states them. Benefits are listed in bullet list under Why Proofpoint (Comprehensive benefits etc). So we can include a Benefits subsection? The instruction: "Use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says we can use Benefits heading if there is content. The posting does mention benefits in bullet list. So we could have a Benefits section with those bullet points. However the bullet list is under "Why Proofpoint?" which includes compensation, benefits, career success, flexible work environment, wellness days, recognition, global collaboration. Could treat as Benefits section. But also there is "Why Proofpoint?" about mission. Might be better to have a Why Proofpoint section with paragraphs and then a Benefits subsection? The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine Why Proofpoint and Benefits into one section titled Why Proofpoint, with paragraphs and a bullet list for benefits. That seems okay. Similarly, we could have sections: About Us, How We Work, Role and Team (maybe combine Department Overview, Role Overview, Expectations), Job Requirements (The What, The How), Why Proofpoint (including mission and benefits), Our Culture. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Now we need to extract substantive content and format. Let's gather content: About Us: "Proofpoint is a global leader in human- and agent-centric cybersecurity. We protect how people, data, and AI agents connect across email, cloud, and collaboration tools. Over 80 of the Fortune 100, 10,000 large enterprises, and millions of smaller organizations trust Proofpoint to stop threats, prevent data loss, and build resilience across their people and AI workflows.
