We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we have "Who we are" (company description) maybe as About the role? The instructions: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content.
We have:
- Who we are: description of DigiCert. Could be "About the role"? Actually "Who we are" is company overview, not role. But we could treat as "About the role" maybe not appropriate. However we can include a section like "About the company" but not in list. The instruction says use those headings as examples, but we can use other headings? It says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content.

It says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely they expect those headings. We should map content to those.
We have job summary: description of role. That could be "About the role". So we put that under About the role
with paragraph.
Responsibilities: list of "What you will do". Use - .
Requirements: maybe "What you will have" includes education, experience, skills. Could be Requirements or Qualifications. We'll split: Requirements (education, experience) and Qualifications (skills). But we can combine.
Skills: maybe list of technical skills.
Benefits: we have benefits list.
Pay: we have base salary range.
Schedule: not mentioned, so omit.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, application instructions, etc. Also remove "To protect candidate information..." etc. Also remove "DigiCert is an Equal Opportunity employer..." etc. Also remove "Compensation Transparency:" paragraph? That's about pay transparency but we already have Pay section; we might keep some of that? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The compensation transparency paragraph is legal-ish but maybe considered boilerplate? It's about pay practices. Might be considered boilerplate; but we already have Pay section with salary range. The paragraph includes details about compensation determination etc. Might be considered boilerplate; but we could keep if it's substantive? It's generic. Safer to omit.
We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all specifics: responsibilities list, requirements list, skills list, benefits list, salary range.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
Let's extract content.
