Principal Software Engineer, Core Infrastructure
for section headings (About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)
2. Use - for lists of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose
3. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading
4. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it
5. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail
6. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions
7. Include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text
8. Never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them
9. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones
10. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences
Let me analyze the job posting:
The posting has:
- An introductory paragraph about the role (About the role)
- Responsibilities section with sub-sections: Key Responsibilities (System Design & Architecture, Operational Excellence, Security & Compliance, Automation & Change Management), Core Responsibilities (Planning & Execution, Collaboration & Partnership, Problem Solving, Continuous Learning, Continuous Improvement, Performance & Development)
- Qualifications section with a disclaimer, salary range, and benefits package
- About Us section (company description)
I need to structure this appropriately. The posting has real content for:
- About the role (intro paragraph)
- Responsibilities (detailed list)
- Qualifications (salary range and benefits)
- Benefits (detailed list)
- Pay (salary range mentioned)
I should not include the EEO/legal boilerplate at the end. The "About Us" section is company marketing - I could include it as "About the company" or similar, but the instructions say to use specific headings like "About the role". The "About Us" is more about the company. I'll include it as a section since it has substantive content.
Let me structure:
1.
About the role
- the introductory paragraph
2. Responsibilities
- with sub-sections as lists
3. Qualifications
- the disclaimer and salary range
4. Benefits
- the detailed benefits list
5. Pay
- the salary range (though it's also in qualifications, but the instructions say to have Pay section if posting states it)
6. About the company
- the About Us section
Wait, the instructions say "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)". So I should use those exact headings where appropriate. "About the company" isn't listed, but "About the role" is. The "About Us" is about the company, not the role. I could include it under a generic heading or skip it. But it has substantive content. I'll include it as About the company
since it's not boilerplate.
Actually, looking at the instructions: "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it". The About Us has real content. I'll include it.
Now, for the Responsibilities section: there are two main parts: "Key Responsibilities" and "Core Responsibilities". Each has sub-items. I'll structure as nested lists or separate lists under the main Responsibilities heading.
The Qualifications section has a disclaimer, salary range, and benefits. The benefits are detailed. I'll separate Benefits into its own section.
The Pay section: the salary range is given: $114,600 - $234,600 per year, with bonus, equity, etc. So I'll include a Pay section.
Schedule: not mentioned, so no Schedule section.
Skills: not explicitly listed as a separate section, but responsibilities imply skills. The instructions say to include Skills section if posting has it. The posting doesn't have a "Skills" heading, but there are technical requirements implied. However, the instructions say "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text". Since there's no explicit skills list, I'll not create a Skills section.
Now, let me write the HTML.
I need to preserve all substantive information. So I'll include the disclaimer in Qualifications, the salary range in Pay (and maybe also in Qualifications), and the benefits list in Benefits.
The introductory paragraph: "As Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) continues its rapid expansion... It is a dynamic and flexible workplace where you'll belong and be encouraged." That's About the role.
Then Responsibilities: I'll create a list for Key Responsibilities with sub-bullets for each area (System Design & Architecture, Operational Excellence, etc.), and another list for Core Responsibilities with sub-bullets.
But the instructions say "Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits". So I can use nested lists.
Let me structure:
