Principal Engineer (AI Engineering)
- .
Pay: we have "Pay Range Reflected is the base pay range offered for this position. Pay may vary depending on factors including but not limited to demonstrated examples of prior performance, skills, experience, or work location. Employees may also be eligible for incentive opportunities. $159,000.00 - $305,000.00". So we have pay range. Must include Pay section with that info.
Schedule: we have "This position offers a hybrid work schedule." and "Ability to travel up to 25% of the time". Also "Job Expectations: This position is not eligible for Visa sponsorship." That's not schedule but maybe we could include under Schedule? The schedule heading expects schedule info. We have hybrid work schedule and travel up to 25%. So we can put that under Schedule. Also visa sponsorship not schedule; maybe we could include under Job Expectations but we don't have a heading for that; we could incorporate into Schedule or maybe omit. The instruction: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. So we can include Schedule with hybrid work schedule and travel up to 25%. The visa sponsorship is not schedule; we could maybe put under a separate section like "Job Expectations" but not in allowed headings. Since we must only use allowed headings, we could either omit that info or incorporate into Schedule? It's not schedule but maybe we can put under Schedule as additional note? Might be considered filler if not schedule. Better to omit visa sponsorship? But we must preserve ALL substantive information; we cannot omit info. So we need to include that info somewhere. Since we don't have a heading for "Job Expectations", we could maybe put it under Schedule as a note? But that would be misrepresenting. However the instruction says we must preserve ALL substantive information; we cannot invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include that info. Perhaps we can add a
under Schedule that includes hybrid work schedule, travel up to 25%, and also note that visa sponsorship is not eligible. That's still under Schedule heading but includes non-schedule info; but it's still preserving info. The heading is Schedule, but content includes other details; maybe acceptable as we are not creating a new heading. The instruction: "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text". It doesn't forbid mixing other info under a heading as long as the heading has real specific content. So we can put all job expectations under Schedule. Alternatively, we could create a section "Requirements" for visa sponsorship? Not appropriate. So we will put under Schedule. Now Benefits: we have list. Now we need to output HTML fragment with headings
for each section. We must not include / tags. We must use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits.
We must use
for prose. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. We need to remove the EEO statement, drug policy, disability inclusion, etc. Also remove "Posting End Date: 24 Sep 2026", "Job posting may come down early due to volume of applicants.", "We Value Equal Opportunity", etc. Also remove "Reference Number R-576430-3". Also remove "Job Expectations:" heading? We'll incorporate its content. We must preserve all substantive information: that includes the description, responsibilities, required qualifications, desired qualifications, benefits, pay, schedule (hybrid, travel, visa sponsorship not eligible). Also maybe note "This position is not eligible for Visa sponsorship." We'll keep. Now structure:
