We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the team? The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences.
We need to parse the posting.
Sections present: About The Team, About The Role, Responsibilities, (maybe "You are excited about this opportunity because you will…" could be considered part of role description), "We Are Excited About You Because You Bring…" (requirements/qualifications), Compensation (pay and benefits), About DoorDash (company overview), Our Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion (EEO boilerplate - should be removed), Statement of Non-Discrimination (remove), Pursuant to the San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance... (legal boilerplate - remove), Notice to Applicants for Jobs Located in NYC... (legal - remove), Beware of recruitment scams... (remove). Also "About DoorDash" maybe keep as company overview? Not required but could be considered "About the Company". Not listed as allowed heading but we could treat as prose. The instruction says we can use headings for those listed; we can also have other headings? It says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but we should stick to those. Probably we should include sections: About the Team (maybe as "About the Team" but not in list; but we could treat as prose under a heading? Not required. Could just put as
without heading. The instruction: "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." It doesn't forbid other headings like About the Team. But they gave examples; we could still use
for About the Team if we want. However they said "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it". About the Team has content. So we could include About the Team
. Similarly About the Role. Responsibilities. Requirements/Qualifications (We Are Excited About You Because You Bring…). Compensation (pay and benefits). Benefits (they have benefits description). Pay (they have base salary range). Schedule? Not explicitly mentioned except rotating shifts, nights, weekends, holidays under Adaptability. That's schedule info. Could include Schedule section. But they said never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. They do state pay range and benefits. Schedule: they mention rotating shifts, nights, weekends, holidays. That's schedule info. So we could include Schedule.
We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, diversity statement, legal notices, scam warning, etc.
We need to preserve all substantive information.
Let's extract substantive content:
About The Team:
"The Global Safety and Security team advances DoorDash by protecting people, property, operations, brand, and reputation. Within that team, Protective Services safeguards executives and residences through executive protection, intelligence collection, threat monitoring, residential security, and secure transportation. We manage risk and deliver value through technology and a people-first approach, and we strive to always be ahead of the curve and there for our people, anytime, anywhere."
About The Role:
"We are hiring Protective Services Associates to join the Protective Services team, providing residential security coverage and on-site protective presence in support of executives. This is the entry point on our cross-trained career ladder. Associates build proficiency across residential security, monitoring and threat reporting, and close-protection fundamentals, with a structured path to Senior Associate and beyond as you grow."
Responsibilities list:
- Residential Security Coverage: Provide dedicated, round-the-clock physical security presence at a residential property as part of a rotating shift team.
- Monitoring & Threat Reporting: Monitor camera systems and access points, document and report security-relevant activity, and hand off findings to the team's intelligence function.
- Access Control: Screen and coordinate visitors, deliveries, and vendors according to established protocols.
- Logistics Coordination: Plan and manage the logistics of residential security operations, including scheduling, shift handoffs, and coverage during events or executive travel. Coordinate with drivers and other Protective Services team members to align movements, timing, and coverage.
- Incident Response: Respond to security incidents or anomalies, following established escalation procedures.
- Professional Conduct: Serve as a trusted, hands-on point of contact for executives, anticipating needs, exercising sound judgment in real time, and delivering discreet, concierge-level service while representing Protective Services in all interactions.
Then "You are excited about this opportunity because you will…" bullet list:
- Start a Real Career: Enter Protective Services at the ground level with a defined path to Senior Associate and beyond.
- Build Core Skills: Develop foundational executive-protection skills like access control, monitoring, and incident response.
- Operate Locally: Work on-site in the Bay Area as part of a rotating shift team.
- Be Part of a Team: Join a team that covers for one another, shares knowledge, and grows together.
- Represent with Excellence: Model the professionalism, reliability, and discretion expected of Protective Services.
These could be considered part of role description or maybe "Benefits"? Not exactly. They are motivators. Could be included under a section like "What You'll Gain" but not required. We could incorporate them into About the Role paragraph or as a list under Responsibilities? Probably better to keep as a separate section like "What You'll Gain" but not in allowed headings. Could just treat as prose under About the Role.
Next: "We Are Excited About You Because You Bring…" list:
- Experience: 1-2 years in security, law enforcement, military, hospitality, or a related field.
- Attention to Detail: Comfortable monitoring multiple information sources (cameras, logs, communications) and documenting what you observe clearly.
- Sound Judgment: Ability to assess situations calmly and know when to act, escalate, or hold position.
- Professional Presentation: A clean, polished appearance and composed demeanor suitable for a high-visibility, high-discretion environment.
- Physical Fitness: Physical fitness required due to the operating environment. Walking and running hills required.
- Document Proficiency: Willingness to create professional documents and reports that will be presented to the team and organization.
- Integrity and Discretion: Trusted to manage sensitive information and close, ongoing proximity to executives’ daily lives with the utmost professionalism and confidentiality.
- Technical Comfort: Comfortable learning security and monitoring systems, communications tools, and reporting software.
- Adaptability: Willingness to work rotating shifts, including nights, weekends, and holidays.
These are requirements/qualifications.
Compensation section:
"The successful candidate’s starting pay will fall within the pay range listed below and is determined based on job-related factors including, but not limited to, skills, experience, qualifications, work location, and market conditions. Base salary is localized according to an employee’s work location. Ranges are market-dependent and may be modified in the future. In addition to base salary, the compensation for this role includes opportunities for equity grants. Talk to your recruiter for more information."
Then benefits description:
"DoorDash cares about you and your overall well-being. That’s why we offer a comprehensive benefits package to all regular employees, which includes a 401(k) plan with employer matching, 16 weeks of paid parental leave, wellness benefits, commuter benefits match, paid time off and paid sick leave in compliance with applicable laws (e.g. Colorado Healthy Families and Workplaces Act). DoorDash also offers medical, dental, and vision benefits, 11 paid holidays, disability and basic life insurance, family-forming assistance, and a mental health program, among others. To learn more about our benefits, visit our careers page here."
Then Paid Time Off details:
"See Below For Paid Time Off Details For salaried roles: flexible paid time off/vacation, plus 80 hours of paid sick time per year.For hourly roles: vacation accrued at about 1 hour for every 25.97 hours worked (e.g. about 6.7 hours/month if working 40 hours/week; about 3.4 hours/month if working 20 hours/week), and paid sick time accrued at 1 hour for every 30 hours worked (e.g. about 5.8 hours/month if working 40 hours/week; about 2.9 hours/month if working 20 hours/week)."
Then pay range:
"The national base pay range for this position within the United States, including Illinois and Colorado. $80,200—$118,000 USD"
We need to include Pay section with that range. Benefits section with benefits description. Schedule section maybe from Adaptability and rotating shifts mention.
We also have About DoorDash paragraph (company overview). Could be included as prose but not required. Might be considered boilerplate? It's substantive about company mission. Could keep as a section "About DoorDash" but not in allowed headings. Might be okay as a
without heading.
We must remove all EEO, diversity, legal, scam warning, etc.
Now produce HTML fragment.
We'll structure:
About the Team

About the Role
...
Responsibilities

Requirements

Maybe also include a section "What You'll Gain" but not required; we could incorporate the excitement bullets into About the Role as a or

but not in allowed list. Safer to incorporate into About the Role paragraph.
We need Pay section: Pay

Schedule: Schedule

(maybe include rotating shifts, nights, weekends, holidays).
We also have Paid Time Off details; could be part of Benefits or Schedule? It's about time off, could be part of Benefits. We'll include in Benefits paragraph.
Now ensure we preserve all substantive info.
Let's craft each.
About the Team paragraph: exactly as given.
About the Role paragraph: combine the two paragraphs: "We are hiring Protective Services Associates to join the Protective Services team, providing residential security coverage and on-site protective presence in support of executives. This is the entry point on our cross-trained career ladder. Associates build proficiency across residential security, monitoring and threat reporting, and close-protection fundamentals, with a structured path to Senior Associate and beyond as you grow." plus the excitement bullets maybe as a list after? Could add as under About the Role?
