Principal Architect, Infrastructure

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting: It's a long description. We need to extract sections. We have "About the role": The first paragraph(s) describing role: "The Principal Architect, Infrastructure leads the design of infrastructure solutions to support the strategic objectives of Carnival Cruise Line. This role involves technically leading and creating detailed designs and documentation to support the development, implementation, and operations of enterprise-class systems used globally across ship and shore locations. The Principal Architect role serves both as the architecture lead and mentor to other architects and engineers." That's about the role. Responsibilities: The "Essential Functions" list includes Design, Compliance and Security, Operations, Support, Governance, Research and Innovation, Leadership. Those are responsibilities. We can list them as bullet points. Requirements: Might be "Essential/Minimal Qualifications" and "Essential Experience Required". Those are qualifications and experience. The spec says we have sections: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide what goes where. We have "Knowledge, Skills & Abilities" with subparts: Scope, Problem Solving, Impact, Leadership. That's more like skills and abilities. We have "Essential/Minimal Qualifications": list of degrees, certifications, preferred etc. That's qualifications. We have "Essential Experience Required": list of years experience. That's requirements (experience). Could be under Requirements. We have "Travel: Less than 25% with shipboard travel likely". That's maybe schedule? Not exactly schedule but travel requirement. Could be under Schedule? The spec says include Schedule section only if posting actually states them. Travel is not schedule but maybe we could treat as Schedule? Probably not; schedule refers to work hours, shift, etc. Not present. So we may omit Schedule. Benefits: At end: "At Carnival, your total rewards package is much more than your base salary. All non-sales roles participate in an annual cash bonus program, while sales roles have an incentive plan. Director and above roles may also be eligible to participate in Carnival’s discretionary equity incentive plan. Plus, Carnival provides comprehensive and innovative benefits to meet your needs, including: Health Benefits:Cost-effective med". It cuts off. There's mention of benefits but incomplete. However we have some substantive: annual cash bonus program, discretionary equity incentive plan for director and above, comprehensive and innovative benefits. That's enough to create Benefits section. Pay: Not mentioned explicitly (no salary range). So we should not create Pay section. Schedule: Not mentioned (no work hours). So omit. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (experience), Qualifications (education/certifications), Skills (knowledge, skills & abilities), Benefits. We need to use

for section headings. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

  for prose. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for Principal Architect. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Must keep details. We need to format lists appropriately. Let's extract content. About the role: combine first two sentences maybe also third? Actually first paragraph includes three sentences. We'll put in

  . Responsibilities: We have Essential Functions with subheadings: Design, Compliance and Security, Operations, Support, Governance, Research and Innovation, Leadership. Each has bullet-like sentences. We'll create a

  with each responsibility as
  • . We need to preserve details; we can combine sentences under each heading into one li. Let's list them: Design: - Lead collaboration with key stakeholders to design and implement secure, robust, and scalable infrastructure solutions aligned with business objectives. - Perform engineering function on projects as required. - Collaborate with various teams, including networking, facility, and applications, to ensure solutions meet requirements and comply with Carnival Corporation policies and processes. - Lead the design, plan, document, and support the configuration of logical and physical system layouts with a focus on reducing operating costs or increasing guest and crew experience. - Provide cost estimates (i.e. labor, hardware, software, etc.) for capital and project planning. - Lead collaboration with the engineering teams to adjust designs, intake as-built documents, and make appropriate adjustments to documentation and designs. - Educate team members on Carnival’s infrastructure strategies, tools, and frameworks.

Research and Innovation: - Function as a SME for Infrastructure design. - Stay abreast of emerging technologies, industry trends, and best practices. - Research new tools, frameworks, and methodologies that can enhance solution designs and delivery. - Evaluate and recommend solutions. - Develop and communicate technology roadmaps. - Review and improve tools, methods, processes, and procedures. - Collaborate to develop and document next generation systems. - Lead the development of system solution standards. Leadership: - Coach, review, and delegate work to less experienced staff. - Sought out by other technicians and leaders for expertise. - Collaborates directly with business leaders. We could also include "Knowledge, Skills & Abilities" as Skills section. Now Requirements: Essential Experience Required list. We'll create a

Note: Some items are duplicated (Azure Solutions Architect Expert appears twice). We'll keep as is but could deduplicate? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Duplicates are part of original; we should keep them? Might be okay to keep both but could be considered redundant. I'd keep both to preserve. Skills: Knowledge, Skills & Abilities section includes Scope, Problem Solving, Impact, Leadership.
