We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The description includes responsibilities etc. We need to decide sections: maybe "About the role", "Responsibilities", "Qualifications", "Skills", "Pay", "Benefits". Must include only sections with real content. The posting includes: location, duration, pay range, top 3 skills, description, responsibilities, qualifications, must have hard skills, nice to haves, years of experience, degree requirements, benefits summary. Also duplicate benefits summary lines.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. We can include location/duration maybe in a short paragraph under "About the role". The instruction: Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can use those headings if content exists.
We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include location, duration, pay range, top 3 skills, description, responsibilities, qualifications, must have hard skills, nice to haves, years of experience, degree requirements, benefits.
We must not include boilerplate like cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. There's none.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Benefits summary includes generic statements but it's actual content: "Individual compensation is determined by skills, qualifications, experience, and location. Compensation details listed in this posting reflect the base hourly rate or annual salary only, unless otherwise stated. In addition to base compensation, full-time roles are eligible for Medical, Dental, Vision, Commuter and 401K benefits with company matching." That's substantive; we can include Benefits section.

Schedule? Not given. So we should not create Schedule section.
We need to avoid duplication: there are duplicate benefits summary lines; we should include only once.

In addition to base compensation, full-time roles are eligible for Medical, Dental, Vision, Commuter and 401K benefits with company matching.
We need to ensure we didn't miss any detail: The description also mentions "Managing end-to-end procurement activities for at least 3 programs." Already included.

But the instruction: Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule).
