We need to output HTML fragment with sections: Overview? The instruction says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should not repeat job title as heading. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. The posting includes Overview (maybe "About the role"?). It has Overview paragraph, then Overview Of Responsibilities (list). Then Qualifications (list). Then Preferred Qualifications (maybe part of Qualifications). Then Core Competencies (maybe Skills). Then Benefits (list). Then Eligibility Requirements (maybe part of Benefits? but it's about benefits eligibility). Then "Get Paid Every Day!" (maybe Pay? It's about DailyPay, not pay rate). Then "Why Sprouts" (maybe company description, could be omitted as boilerplate? It's not required but could be considered "About the company"? Not requested. Probably we can omit as not required sections. Also there is legal boilerplate at end which we should remove. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to capture: - Overview: The Principal Software Engineer is a senior technical leader responsible for driving the design, architecture, and delivery of large-scale AI-powered systems across retail platforms. This role leads complex AI initiatives from concept to production, influences engineering direction, and ensures systems are scalable, reliable, and aligned with business outcomes. - Responsibilities: Under "Overview Of Responsibilities" there are bullet-like paragraphs: Advanced AI System Design, Architecture & Technical Leadership, AI Innovation & Retail Impact, MLOps & Platform Excellence, Product & Business Influence, Production & Operational Leadership (Build + Run), Technical Mentorship & Influence. Each has sub-bullets. We need to output as
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can have a
      with each top-level responsibility as
    • , and inside each we can have nested
        for subpoints? The instruction says use
        • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. It doesn't forbid nested lists. We'll do nested. - Qualifications: "Qualifications" section includes: 15+ years of experience in software engineering and 2 years in AI/ML; Deep expertise in: Distributed systems, Cloud-native architecture, AI/ML systems; Hands-on experience with: Generative AI / LLMs, Agentic AI systems, Data pipelines. Also "Preferred Qualifications" includes: Experience leading large-scale AI initiatives; Strong background in: Real-time systems, High-scale platforms, AI observability. Also "Core Competencies": Communication, Customer Focus, Driving for Results, Positive Approach. These could be under Skills? The instruction says use

          for Skills. So we could put Core Competencies under Skills heading. Qualifications heading for the qualifications and preferred qualifications. - Benefits: list includes Competitive pay, Sick time plan..., Vacation accrual plan, Opportunities for career growth, 15% discount..., Flexible schedules, Employee Assistance Program (EAP), 401(K) Retirement savings plan..., Company paid life insurance, Contests and appreciation events..., Eligibility Requirements (list of benefits eligibility). Also "Get Paid Every Day!" about DailyPay (maybe under Pay? but it's not a pay rate). The instruction says include Pay section only if posting actually states them. It does not state a specific salary or pay range. It mentions Competitive pay but not a number. Should we include Pay? The instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It says Benefits section only if posting actually states them. It does state benefits (list). So we include Benefits. Pay: It mentions Competitive pay but not a specific amount; is that considered stating pay? It says "Competitive pay" as a benefit. That is a statement about pay but not a specific number. The instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It might be ambiguous. Since they mention Competitive pay as a benefit, we could include Pay section with that statement? However they also have a Benefits section that includes Competitive pay as a bullet. So we could keep Competitive pay inside Benefits, not a separate Pay section. The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we can keep Benefits only. Schedule: Not mentioned explicitly. There's "Flexible schedules" under benefits, but not a schedule section. So we omit Schedule. Thus sections: About the role (or Overview), Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills (Core Competencies), Benefits. We need to use

          for each section heading. We must not repeat job title as heading. So we use About the role? Could be "Overview". The instruction examples include About the role. We'll use

          About the role

          for the overview paragraph. Then

          Responsibilities

          with ul. Then

          Qualifications

          with ul (including deep expertise and hands-on experience, plus preferred qualifications). We'll combine. Then

          Skills

          with ul for Core Competencies. Then

          Benefits

          with ul for benefits list (including eligibility requirements and DailyPay? DailyPay is a benefit; we can include as bullet). We'll include all benefit bullets. We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "The above statements are intended to describe..." etc. Also remove "Why Sprouts" etc. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include the eligibility requirements list (bonus based on performance, affordable benefit coverage, HSA, FSA, short-term disability, paid parental leave, paid holidays). Also DailyPay description. We'll produce HTML fragment. Let's craft. Overview paragraph: combine the two overview paragraphs? There's "Overview" then "Overview Of Responsibilities". Actually first "Overview" paragraph is about role. Then there is a heading "Overview Of Responsibilities". We'll treat first as About the role. Thus:
