We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes description of responsibilities etc. We need to use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should only include sections that have real content. We need to parse the job posting: It's a People Operations Specialist role. The description includes responsibilities: Manage onboarding, offboarding, employment status changes; maintain employee records; orchestrate benefits enrollments; serve as primary point of contact; partner with IT and Security; contribute to HR process documentation, reporting, continuous improvement. Also earlier part about test plans etc seems mismatched? Actually the first paragraph seems about test plans, but then later responsibilities are HR. Possibly the posting is incorrectly merged? But we must preserve all substantive information. So we need to include both sets? The first paragraph describes responsibilities about test plans, but then later "What You'll Do" lists HR tasks. Likely the posting is for People Operations Specialist, so the test plan part is erroneous copy from another job. But we must preserve all substantive information; we cannot invent or summarize away detail. So we must include that content as is, maybe under Responsibilities. We need to decide sections: About the role (maybe a brief summary). Responsibilities (list). Requirements/Qualifications/Skills (maybe combine). Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have info about Pay: base salary $95,000-$105,000. Also mention equity awards, discretionary bonuses. So Pay section. Schedule: full-time position. So we can include Schedule. Benefits: list of perks: 100% employer-paid medical, dental, vision; 401(k) with 3% company contribution; wellness benefits; equity incentive plan; new hire technology and home office stipend; annual professional development stipend; flexible PTO plus federal holidays; generous parental leave; flexible remote work; employee referral bonus. Also mention "Perks & Benefits" section. We need to avoid boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, application instructions, etc. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. We must not repeat job title as heading. Do not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual pay range. We must not create Schedule section unless posting actually states them. It says "This is a full-time position." That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule. We must not create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It does. We must not create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It does. We must not create About the role if no real content? We can write a short paragraph summarizing role from description. That's okay. We need to use

for each section heading. 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 them. Let's extract substantive content: - Company: Second Front Systems (2F) - Role: People Operations Specialist (detail-oriented, methodical, mission-driven) - Mission: strengthen quality assurance operations? Actually first paragraph mentions QA but later HR. We'll keep both. - Responsibilities (first paragraph): - Designing and executing test plans that verify system performance against specifications. - Build test cases, execute test suites, and document results in tracking systems. - Ensuring defects are identified before deployment and accreditation criteria are met. - Interpreting technical requirements and translating them into measurable test scenarios. - Managing test data, environments, and automation tools across multiple concurrent builds. - Communicating test status and blockers clearly to development and program leadership. - As a key partner to engineering and compliance teams, accelerate ability to deliver secure, validated software to warfighters, serving as bridge between code and operational readiness. - Note about hiring hubs: Candidates must reside in one of approved hiring hubs: DC/Maryland/Virginia; Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill, NC; Denver/Colorado Springs, CO; Dallas/Fort Worth, TX. This is a full-time position. - What You'll Do (HR responsibilities): - Manage onboarding, offboarding, and employment status changes with accuracy and confidentiality. - Maintain accurate employee records in HRIS platforms (Justworks, Lattice, Ashby) and ensure compliance with federal, state, and local employment law. - Orchestrate benefits enrollments, terminations, open enrollment, and leave of absence tracking (FMLA, ADA, parental leave). - Serve as primary point of contact for employee inquiries related to benefits, payroll, policies, and employment verifications. - Partner with IT and Security teams to coordinate access provisioning and deprovisioning, ensuring compliance alignment. - Contribute to HR process documentation, reporting, and continuous improvement initiatives. - What You Bring (requirements): - 3–5 years of experience in People Operations, HR Specialist, or similar HR support role. - Demonstrated proficiency in HRIS or PEO platforms (Justworks, Lattice, Ashby, Rippling) and comfort working with data. - Hands-on experience managing onboarding, offboarding, benefits administration, and leave of absence workflows. - Knowledge of employment law, multi-state compliance, and leave administration (FMLA, ADA). - Experience supporting a remote or hybrid workforce in a fast-paced, distributed environment. - U.S. citizenship required due to government contract requirements; residency in approved hiring hub (DC/Maryland/Virginia, Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill NC, Denver/Colorado Springs CO, or Dallas/Fort Worth TX). - Preferred (maybe not a heading but content): - The base salary for this position will fall between $95,000 and $105,000. - Ultimate compensation determined by professional background, technical proficiency, seniority, and regional cost factors. - Potential eligibility for equity awards and discretionary bonuses, rounding out a comprehensive total rewards offering. - Success at 2F Looks Like: (maybe not needed but could be under Skills? It's a list of traits). We could include under Skills or Qualifications. - Perks & Benefits: list: - Competitive salary - 100% employer-paid medical, dental, and vision coverage for you and your dependents - 401(k) with a 3% company contribution - Comprehensive wellness benefits, including a One Medical membership, mental health resources, family planning support, and more - Equity incentive plan - New hire technology and home office stipend - Annual professional development stipend - Flexible paid time off, plus all federal holidays - Generous parental leave - Flexible remote work opportunities - Employee referral bonus program - Who We Are: description of company (maybe About the role? Actually About the role could be a brief summary of role and company). We can put under About the role. - Additional notices: State notices (Colorado, Maryland) - these are legal boilerplate; we should remove as per instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. So we should drop those. - Compensation Range: $95K - $105K (duplicate). We'll keep in Pay. We must not include application instructions like "Visit our careers page to learn more." or "Are you ready to join our team: To apply, click the “Apply for This Job” button...". Remove. We must not include EEO statement. Now we need to decide sections. Potential sections: - About the role: short paragraph summarizing role and company. - Responsibilities: combine both sets of responsibilities (test plan and HR). Could be two sub-sections? But we just need a list. - Requirements: include What You Bring (experience, skills, citizenship, residency). Could also include "Preferred" as part of Requirements? But we have separate "Preferred" content about salary etc. Actually that's compensation, not preferred qualifications. So we treat compensation under Pay. - Skills: maybe the traits from Success at 2F Looks Like (proactive, solutions oriented, bias toward action, team-oriented, focus on personal responsibility and autonomy). Could be under Skills. - Benefits: list perks. - Pay: salary range and equity/bonus. - Schedule: full-time. We must not create sections with filler. All have content. Now produce HTML. We need to use

    for each heading. We'll output something like:
