We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes intro about Verizon, then "What you'll be doing…", "What We're Looking For…", "Even better if you have one or more of the following:", "Where you’ll be working", "Scheduled Weekly Hours", "Benefits And Compensation". Also includes "Equal Employment Opportunity" which we should remove (boilerplate). Also "If Verizon and this role sound like a fit..." is maybe part of "What We're Looking For"? It's a note encouraging apply; could be considered boilerplate? It's not a list; but it's a sentence encouraging apply. According to rules: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The sentence "If Verizon and this role sound like a fit for you, we encourage you to apply even if you don’t meet every “even better” qualification listed above." is an application encouragement; might be considered application instructions? It's not exactly instruction to apply but encouragement. Safer to remove as it's not substantive content? It's somewhat fluff. I'd remove it.
We need headings: Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to map content. We have: - Intro about Verizon (mission, V Team). Could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is generic; but we could use "About the role" heading for the introductory paragraph describing Verizon and the team. However the instruction says: do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. So we can have an
About the role
with paragraph describing Verizon and V Team. - Responsibilities: "What you'll be doing…" includes bullet-like paragraphs: Technical Leadership and Engineering & Automation. Could be a- list.

Continually evaluating new threats and attacks specific to Web, API, Mobile, Cloud, IoT, and AI Systems to identify the impact on the business and help to develop and implement appropriate security controls. Driving the adoption of security as a shared responsibility by empowering product teams and with necessary knowledge and tools.

Next: Preferred qualifications/Skills: "Even better if you have one or more of the following: Understanding of security vulnerabilities, penetration testing, and application security scanning tools (e.g., Fortify, Tenable).Experience using and building AI systems and agentic workflows using technologies such as Claude Code Skills, LangChain or LangGraphProficiency in mobile security and application development across iOS and Android platforms.Proven background in conducting penetration testing for mobile and web applications.Industry standard certification such as CISSP, CISM, CRISC, CCSP, CCSK, GSEC, GIAC, GPENExperience with Jira or similar project management tools for tracking and reporting.Knowledge of cybersecurity frameworks and maturity models.Proven ability to engage with and influence product teams and leadership.Familiarity with the challenges of security debt and strategies for its reduction."
We need to split:
- Understanding of security vulnerabilities, penetration testing, and application security scanning tools (e.g., Fortify, Tenable).
- Experience using and building AI systems and agentic workflows using technologies such as Claude Code Skills, LangChain or LangGraph
- Proficiency in mobile security and application development across iOS and Android platforms.
- Proven background in conducting penetration testing for mobile and web applications.
- Industry standard certification such as CISSP, CISM, CRISC, CCSP, CCSK, GSEC, GIAC, GPEN
- Experience with Jira or similar project management tools for tracking and reporting.
- Knowledge of cybersecurity frameworks and maturity models.
- Proven ability to engage with and influence product teams and leadership.
- Familiarity with the challenges of security debt and strategies for its reduction.

. Since Skills heading allowed, we use Skills. Next: Where you’ll be working: "In this hybrid role, you'll have a defined work location that includes working from home and a minimum of three days per week in the office, which will be set by your manager. Employees are responsible for maintaining compliance with hybrid work policies." We can put under Schedule heading. Next: Scheduled Weekly Hours 40: also under Schedule. We can combine: "Scheduled Weekly Hours: 40" as a paragraph or list item. We'll produce under Schedule:Hybrid role: defined work location includes working from home and a minimum of three days per week in the office (set by manager). Employees must maintain compliance with hybrid work policies.
Scheduled Weekly Hours: 40
Next: Benefits And Compensation: we need Benefits and Pay sections. Benefits paragraph: "Our benefits are designed to help you move forward in your career, and in areas of your life outside of Verizon. From health and wellness benefit options

separate. Since we have Pay and Benefits headings allowed. We'll split: Benefits section for benefits list; Pay section for salary range and note about incentive based. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. We must not include duplicated lines. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's extract content precisely. Intro paragraph: "When you join Verizon You want more out of a career. A place to share your ideas freely — even if they’re daring or different. Where the true you can learn, grow, and thrive. At Verizon, we power and empower how people live, work and play by connecting them to what brings them joy. We do what we love — driving innovation, creativity, and impact in the world. Our V Team is a community of people who anticipate, lead, and believe that listening is where learning begins. In crisis and in celebration, we come together — lifting our communities and building trust in how we show up, everywhere & always. Want in? Join the #VTeamLife." We need to keep that as prose under About the role. Responsibilities: "What you'll be doing… As a Principal Engineer - Security Architecture of the Product Security - Developer Security and Enablement team, you will be driving security initiatives and engaging product development teams to ensure security is engrained throughout the development of Verizon products. You will partner with product and development teams to perform security architecture and design reviews, threat modeling, code and business logic reviews, and be the main driving force of security within the development community. Additionally, you will continuously assess workflows, leverage your engineering expertise to build automated processes and AI agents, and provide expert escalation support whenever automated solutions fall short. You will be responsible for the following but not limited to: Technical Leadership Providing deep knowledge of software and security and articulating it effectively in both business and technical forums.Leading discussions with development teams to provide support, consultation, and information security subject matter expertise for security application and systems development, maintenance, and support.Evaluating security posture and providing recommendations for improvement and risk reductionContinually evaluating new threats and attacks specific to Web, API, Mobile, Cloud, IoT, and AI Systems to identify the impact on the business and help to develop and implement appropriate security controls.Driving the adoption of security as a shared responsibility by empowering product teams and with necessary knowledge and tools. Engineering & Automation Maintaining up-to-date knowledge of programming languages, data architectures, and automation frameworks.Developing AI agents and automation tooling to streamline routine tasks, allowing focus on high-impact, complex security architectures." We need to turn into list items. The text after colon includes sentences without punctuation; we can split by periods? Better to create list items for each bullet: Technical Leadership (with subpoints) and Engineering & Automation (with subpoints). Could combine as two list items each containing multiple sentences. We'll produce:
