QA Automation Engineer
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must include only sections with real specific content. Must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove lines like "Job Summary:"? Actually "Job Summary:" is a heading? It's not one of the allowed headings but we can treat as part of prose? The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should map content to those headings if present. The posting includes: "About SCOR:" (but that's about company). Could be "About the role"? Not exactly. There's "Job Summary:" which could be considered "About the role". There's "Responsibilities:" heading. There's "Preferred Qualifications:" heading. There's "Benefits We Offer*". There's "Pay Range for roles performed in KC & CLT:" heading. There's "Hybrid Work Policy:" maybe schedule? Could be schedule. There's also "Relocation assistance within the U.S. is available for this position." etc. Also "Must be comfortable working in a global team environment and support users" etc. Also "On innovation" etc.
We need to decide which sections to include: About the role (maybe from Job Summary). Responsibilities (clear). Qualifications (maybe Preferred Qualifications). Skills (maybe from Preferred Qualifications includes technical skills). Benefits (list). Pay (range). Schedule (Hybrid Work Policy). Also maybe "About SCOR" could be omitted as not required heading; but we could include as part of About the role? The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we can combine some.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings (none present). Must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all substantive info from the posting, but we can reorganize into sections.
We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. There's no explicit EEO but there is "SCOR supports inclusion and the diversity of talents, and all positions are open to people with disabilities." That's EEO boilerplate; should be removed. Also "Relocation assistance within the U.S. is available for this position. Candidates must have valid authorization to work in the U.S. without the need for employer sponsorship now or in the future." That's not boilerplate? It's substantive about relocation and work auth; we should keep. "Hybrid Work Policy:" is substantive.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Let's extract substantive content:
- Job Summary: Under the guidance of the QA Manager, you will support manual and automated testing activities that validate end‑to‑end business processes and ensure applications meet functional and quality expectations, in line with defined testing strategies, standards, and procedures. In this role, you will work closely with the US business users, product owners, and development teams to understand the business context, functional requirements, and application features, and translate them into clear test cases and appropriate test data sets.

You will join the Tech, Data & AI department, providing opportunities to grow within a global and dynamic organization supporting SCOR's platforms worldwide.

- Pay Range for roles performed in KC & CLT: $117,500-$143,500 base salary per year. Actual salaries may vary based on various factors including but not limited to location, experience, role and performance. The range listed is just one component of SCOR's total compensation package for employees. Other rewards may include annual bonuses, short- and long term incentives. In addition, we provide a variety of benefits to employees, including health insurance coverage, life and disability insurance, a retirement saving plan, paid holidays and paid time off.
We also have "About SCOR:" paragraph describing company. Could be included under "About the role"? Might be considered company overview; but we could include as a separate section "About SCOR" but not in allowed headings. The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)". Likely they expect only those headings. So we should map content to those headings. "About the role" can include Job Summary and maybe About SCOR? But About SCOR is company info, not role. Could still be included under About the role as context. We'll include it.
"Requirements" vs "Qualifications" vs "Skills": The posting has "Preferred Qualifications". Could treat as Qualifications. Skills could be extracted from qualifications (technical skills). But we might combine Qualifications and Skills into one section to avoid thin sections. However instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. That's six sections.
We must not include empty sections. Ensure each has substantive content.
Now we need to format:
About the role
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)". Likely they expect only those headings. So we should map content to those headings. "About the role" can include Job Summary and maybe About SCOR? But About SCOR is company info, not role. Could still be included under About the role as context. We'll include it.

We must not include empty sections. Ensure each has substantive content.
Now we need to format:
About the role
About the role
Job Summary paragraph + About SCOR paragraph (maybe combine). Ensure we preserve all substantive info from Job Summary and About SCOR. Let's copy About SCOR paragraph: "As a leading global reinsurer, SCOR offers its clients a diversified and innovative range of reinsurance and insurance solutions and services to control and manage risk. Applying "The Art & Science of Risk," SCOR uses its industry-recognized expertise and cutting-edge financial solutions to serve its clients and contribute to the welfare and resilience of society in around 160 countries worldwide.
