Principal Platform Software Engineer
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should map content to these headings where appropriate. We should not repeat job title. We should not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we need to strip out the EEO statement, accommodation request line, etc. Also remove "The role will generally accept applications for at least three calendar days..." etc. Also remove "Career Level - IC4"? Not a standard heading; maybe we can include as a short paragraph under Qualifications? But we should not invent sections. We can include it as a
maybe under Qualifications? But better to keep as a short paragraph after Qualifications? The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we can combine. We need to preserve ALL substantive information. So we need to keep the description paragraph, responsibilities list, qualifications (including disclaimer, salary range, benefits details), maybe also "About Us" (company description). Also "Core Responsibilities" etc are part of responsibilities; we can merge. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Thus produce something like:

We need to remove EEO boilerplate and accommodation request? The instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. The accommodation request line is part of accessibility assistance; is that considered EEO? It's about accommodation for disability; might be considered EEO-related. Safer to remove that sentence. Also remove "Oracle is an Equal Employment Opportunity Employer..." and the following lines about consideration, arrest and conviction records. Also remove "The role will generally accept applications for at least three calendar days from the posting date or as long as the job remains posted." and "Career Level - IC4". Also remove "Only Oracle brings..."? That's About Us content, keep. But we need to remove the accommodation request line and EEO statement. Thus About Us paragraph should be truncated to exclude the accommodation request line and EEO. Let's craft About Us: "Only Oracle brings together the data, infrastructure, applications, and expertise to power everything from industry innovations to life-saving care.
