Principal / Sr. Principal Technical Editor Writer
for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have content: description (about role), essential functions (responsibilities), basic qualifications (qualifications), preferred qualifications (skills), salary range (pay), benefits (benefits), relocation assistance (maybe part of benefits? but we can include in Benefits). Also schedule? Not given. Travel: Yes, 10% of the Time (that's schedule/travel). Could be Schedule section. Also clearance info not needed. Relocation assistance may be available (benefit). So we need sections: About the role (description paragraph), Responsibilities (essential functions list), Qualifications (basic qualifications maybe as list?), Skills (preferred qualifications list), Pay (salary ranges), Benefits (relocation assistance, benefits list), Schedule (travel 10% of time). Ensure we don't repeat job title. No metadata like Job ID. Remove boilerplate: EEO, application period, etc. Also remove "CLEARANCE REQUIRED FOR START: No CLEARANCE TYPE: None". Also remove "RELOCATION ASSISTANCE: Relocation assistance may be available" but we keep that as benefit. Also remove "TRAVEL: Yes, 10% of the Time" but we keep in Schedule.
We must preserve all substantive info. So we need to include description paragraphs, essential functions bullet list, qualifications bullet list (maybe separate for Level 3 and Level 4? Could combine but preserve details). Preferred qualifications bullet list. Pay: include both primary and secondary level salary ranges. Benefits: list health insurance, life and disability insurance, savings plan, company paid holidays, paid time off (PTO), relocation assistance. Also maybe mention overtime, shift differential, discretionary bonus, annual bonuses, long term incentives for VP/Director (but that's not generic). We can include those as part of benefits? The instruction: include Benefits section only if posting actually states them. It does state benefits: health insurance, life and disability insurance, savings plan, company paid holidays and paid time off (PTO). Also mentions overtime, shift differential, discretionary bonus, annual bonuses, long term incentives for VP/Director. Those are also benefits. We'll include them.
Schedule: travel 10% of time.
We must not create sections with filler like "not specified". So we only include sections we have content for.
We need to use for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must not output markdown fences.
