We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real content.
We need to parse the job posting.
First, there is introductory paragraph about Itron, mission, etc. That could be "About the role" or maybe "About the company". The instruction: use
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real content.
We need to parse the job posting.
First, there is introductory paragraph about Itron, mission, etc. That could be "About the role" or maybe "About the company". The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to decide which sections are present.
We have:
- Role Summary (description of role). Could be "About the role". We'll put that under About the role
with paragraphs.
- Duties & Responsibilities: list of duties. Use - .
- Required Skills & Experience: list of requirements. Could be "Requirements" or "Qualifications". We'll treat as "Requirements". Could also separate "Qualifications" but we have only one list.
- Preferred Skills & Experience: could be "Preferred Qualifications" or "Skills". We'll maybe combine under "Skills" or separate as "Preferred Skills". The instruction says we can have Skills section. We'll include a Skills section for required? Actually we have Required Skills & Experience and Preferred Skills & Experience. Could make two sections: "Requirements" (required) and "Preferred Skills". Or we could combine into one Skills section with required and preferred. But better to follow headings: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. Since we have both required and preferred, we could put required under "Requirements" and preferred under "Preferred Skills" (or "Skills").
- Benefits Info: includes benefits description. So we can have
Benefits
with list.
- Pay: includes base salary range $96,000-165,000 annually, plus bonus program. So we need a Pay section.
- Schedule: mentions hybrid work schedule, travel less than 25% on average. So we can have Schedule section.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, navigation, cookie, etc. Also remove application instructions.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Let's extract content.
First, About the role: The role summary paragraph(s). The text:
"Role Summary The Principal, AI Security Architecture & Engineering serves as Itron's senior technical authority for AI security. This highly visible, hands-on leadership role is responsible for defining and implementing the security architecture, governance controls, engineering standards, and operational practices that enable safe, scalable adoption of artificial intelligence, generative AI, machine learning, and AI agents across the enterprise and product portfolio.

.
Next Benefits Info: "This position also includes a competitive benefit package including; financial, social, health and wellbeing programs, paid vacation, 401k matching, employee stock purchase program, hybrid work schedule, and more!" Also maybe mention other benefits? That's it.
We'll create Benefits section with - items: financial programs, social programs, health and wellbeing programs, paid vacation, 401k matching, employee stock purchase program, hybrid work schedule. Also "and more!" but we can ignore vague.
Next Pay: "The successful candidate’s starting salary will be determined based on permissible, non-discriminatory factors such as skills and experience and may vary by location. The base salary is $96,000-165,000 annually. This position is eligible for our annual bonus program."
We'll put Pay section with paragraphs: maybe one paragraph describing salary range and bonus eligibility.
Next Schedule: "Travel: Less than 25% on average" and "hybrid work schedule" already mentioned in benefits but also schedule. We'll include Schedule section with travel and hybrid work.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID etc.
We must remove boilerplate: EEO statements, accommodation contact, etc. Also remove repeated lines like "Itron is transforming how the world manages energy, water and city services..." etc at end. Also remove "If you are excited about this role but your past experiences don't perfectly align..." etc. Also remove "Itron is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer." etc. Also remove "If you require an accommodation..." etc. Also remove final paragraphs about Itron transforming etc and join us link.
We must preserve all substantive information; but we can discard fluff like motivational sentences that are not specific to role? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we need to keep all substantive info about role, duties, requirements, preferred, benefits, pay, schedule. The motivational fluff at end may be considered boilerplate? It's not about the role specifics; it's generic marketing. Likely we should remove it as boilerplate. The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." The motivational fluff is not exactly those categories but could be considered boilerplate. Safer to remove it as it's not specific to the role. However, we need to be careful not to remove substantive info. The final paragraph about Itron transforming how the world manages energy, water and city services is generic marketing; not specific to role. So we can remove.
