Principal Network Cloud Communications

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The description includes paragraphs about company. We need to extract sections: About the role (maybe description), Responsibilities, Requirements (Basic Qualifications), Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Also maybe note relocation assistance, clearance required, travel etc. Those are metadata; we should fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." So we can include a short paragraph with relocation assistance, clearance, travel. Probably include in a

after the heading? But we shouldn't create a heading for that. So we can include a paragraph with those details. We must not repeat job title as heading. Use

for section headings. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate etc. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. Let's extract: - About the role: The description paragraphs about Northrop Grumman, mission, role overview. Could be under "About the role". We'll put that as

About the role

then

with the descriptive text (maybe multiple paragraphs). We need to keep all substantive info: The description includes multiple paragraphs. We'll combine into one

maybe with line breaks? Better to keep separate

for each paragraph but still under heading? Usually you can have multiple

under heading. We'll output series of

. - Responsibilities: list of duties bullet points. Use

• . - Requirements: Basic Qualifications. Use
  • . - Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications. Use
    • . - Benefits: The posting mentions "We offer flexible work schedules, phenomenal learning opportunities, exposure to a wide variety of projects and customers, and a very friendly team environment. ... exceptional benefits/healthcare, a 9/80 work schedule, and a great 401k matching program." Also mention health insurance, life and disability insurance, savings plan, company paid holidays and paid time off (PTO). So we can create Benefits section with those items. - Pay: Primary Level Salary Range: $89,400.00 - $155,400.00 plus note about overtime, shift differential, discretionary bonus, annual bonuses, long term incentives for VP/Director. We'll include that. - Schedule: mentions flexible work schedules, 9/80 work schedule. Also note on-site requirement. We'll include schedule info. We also have relocation assistance: No relocation assistance available. Clearance required: Yes, Secret. Travel: Yes, 10% of the Time. We'll put these in a short

      maybe under a heading? Not a heading. Could be a paragraph after About the role? Probably after About the role we can include a

      with those details. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, application period, etc. Remove those. Now produce HTML. Let's craft. First, About the role paragraph(s). We'll combine the description paragraphs into maybe two

      .
