for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must not emit sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content.
Let's extract content.
About the role: The first paragraph(s) before "What You'll Do": "This position requires office presence of a minimum of 5 days per week and is only located in the location(s) posted. No relocation is offered. Join a team that directly influences how the global telecommunications industry operates. You'll work at the intersection of wireless innovation, cloud-native networking, AI-driven operations, and standards leadership, helping shape the evolution of future 5G Advanced and 6G networks while representing one of the industry's most influential service providers."
We can put that in
.
Responsibilities: The bullet list under "What You'll Do". It's a long paragraph with many items separated by periods. We need to convert to list items. Let's parse:

Pay: Salary range $189,200.00 - $283,800.00 USD Annual. Also note "Individual starting salary within this range may depend on geography, experience, expertise, and education/training." We'll include that as prose.
Schedule: Weekly Hours 40 Time Type Regular. Also location info maybe not needed as heading. Could include location in a short paragraph but not as heading. The instruction: do not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Location maybe minor metadata; we could include in a short p under About the role or separate but not heading. Probably include location in a short p after About the role? But we already have About the role paragraph; we could add location sentence there. However location is not part of About the role originally; but we can include as minor metadata. The instruction: "fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we can add a
with location info.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include boilerplate like EEO etc.
