We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills?, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use

for each section heading. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Include only sections with real content. We need to parse the posting. First, "About Peraton" is company description; we can include maybe as part of About the role? The instruction: "About The Role" heading is present. We should include a section "About the role" with prose from that part. Then responsibilities: many bullet-like paragraphs. We need to extract duties/responsibilities. Then qualifications: includes required qualifications (0 years with BS/BA; 4 years with HS diploma; obtain clearance; IAM/IAT Level II certification; experience; etc). Also preferred qualifications. Skills: maybe we can combine qualifications and skills? The instruction says we can have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include only those with real content. We have Pay: "Target Salary Range: $66,000 - $106,000." Also mention overtime etc. So we can include Pay section. Benefits: "Benefits Statement: Peraton offers eligible employees a variety of benefits including medical, dental, vision, life, health savings account, short/long term disability, EAP, parental leave, 401(k), paid time off (PTO) for vacation, and company paid holidays." Also link. Schedule: Not explicitly given. The position is remote. No schedule details. So we should not create Schedule section unless posting actually states it. It doesn't, so omit. Requirements: Might be same as Qualifications? Usually Requirements are mandatory qualifications. We'll separate: Requirements (mandatory) and Qualifications (maybe preferred?). But we have both required and preferred qualifications. Could treat Requirements as mandatory qualifications, and Qualifications as preferred? Or we could combine. The instruction: "Use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we can have both Requirements and Qualifications sections. We'll put mandatory qualifications under Requirements, and preferred qualifications under Qualifications. Skills maybe we can extract from responsibilities? Could also list skills like test automation, JIRA, Agile, etc. But we might not need Skills if content thin. Better to include Skills if we have substantive list. We have "Foundational understanding of test automation principles and experience writing automated test scripts in at least one automation framework or scripting language (e.g., Selenium, JUnit, TestNG, Python, Java, or equivalent)." Also "Familiarity with Agile/Scrum development methodologies and DevSecOps principles." "Basic experience with defect tracking tools, preferably JIRA." "Understanding of software testing lifecycle..." etc. Those could be Skills. We'll put them in Skills section as list. Now we need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not omit details like specific tools, standards, etc. We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. At end there is EEO line; we should remove that. Also "Application Statements:" etc should be removed (application instructions). Also "Details Target Salary Range:" we keep as Pay. Also "Benefits Statement:" we keep. Also "Peraton offers eligible employees..." we keep. We need to keep the remote note: "This position is remote." That's substantive; we could put maybe under About the role or Responsibilities? Probably under About the role as a note. Could be its own line. We need to preserve all info: like "The selected candidate will work under the guidance of senior engineers and QA leads to contribute to the development of automated test coverage, Requirements Traceability Matrices (RTMs), and UAT support activities, while adhering to rigorous DoD quality standards including zero defects to production, and compliance with DoDI 5000-87." etc. We need to preserve the list of responsibilities under headings: Test Automation Development & Execution, Test Planning & Documentation, Quality Assurance & Defect Management, Security & Compliance Testing, Section 508 / Accessibility Testing, Performance & Environment Testing, Agile / DevSecOps Participation. We can turn each of these into
    • items, maybe grouping under Responsibilities. We need to not repeat the job title as heading. The job title is "Quality Assurance Automation Engineer". Not to repeat. Now produce HTML fragment. Structure:

      About the role

      ... (prose)

      Responsibilities

      • Test Automation Development & Execution: ...
      • ...
      But we might want to keep subheadings inside li? Could embed inside li. That's okay. We need to preserve all details; we can include the subheading as bold text inside li. Similarly for Requirements: list mandatory qualifications.

      Requirements

      • 0 years experience with BS/BA; 4 years with HS diploma
      • Obtain and maintain public trust clearance
      • Obtain IAM/IAT Level II certification (CompTIA Security+)
      • Experience in software quality assurance, test automation, or software testing roles
      • Foundational understanding of test automation principles and experience writing automated test scripts in at least one automation framework or scripting language (e.g., Selenium, JUnit, TestNG, Python, Java, or equivalent)
      • Familiarity with Agile/Scrum development methodologies and DevSecOps principles
      • Basic experience with defect tracking tools, preferably JIRA
      • Understanding of software testing lifecycle including unit, integration, regression, and user acceptance testing
      • Strong attention to detail, analytical thinking, and ability to document test results clearly and accurately
      • Ability to work collaboratively within a team environment and communicate effectively with developers, leads, and Government stakeholders
      Qualifications (preferred):

      Qualifications

      • ISTQB Foundation Level certification or equivalent
      • Familiarity with Test-Driven Development (TDD) practices
      • Exposure to static code analysis or dynamic application security testing (DAST) tools such as Fortify, Sonatype, or BURP
      • Experience with Section 508 / WCAG 2.0 Level AA accessibility testing
      • Familiarity with ServiceNow for incident tracking and management
      • Understanding of CI/CD pipelines and automated test integration within a DevSecOps environment
      • Exposure to Oracle or PL/SQL database environments
      • Prior experience supporting DoD or Federal government IT programs
      Skills: maybe we can extract from responsibilities and qualifications but we already have many. Could combine but we need a Skills section if we have substantive content not covered elsewhere. Could list skills like "Automated test script development (Selenium, JUnit, TestNG, Python, Java)", "Requirements Traceability Matrices (RTMs)", "UAT support", "Defect triage in JIRA", "Security scanning (Fortify, Sonatype, BURP)", "Section 508 / WCAG 2.0 AA testing", "Performance/load testing", "Agile/Scrum ceremonies", "DevSecOps pipeline", etc. But that may be repetitive. However instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe we omit Skills section and put those details under Responsibilities and Qualifications. That would be fewer sections. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay. We need to include Pay: "Target Salary Range: $66,000 - $106,000." Also mention overtime etc. We'll put as

      . Benefits: list benefits. We also need to include remote note. Could add to About the role paragraph. Now ensure we don't include any boilerplate like "Visit peraton.com to learn how we're keeping people around the world safe and secure." That's company description; maybe we can keep as part of About the role? Actually "About Peraton" is separate; we could include a brief company overview under About the role? But the instruction says use heading About the role for role description. The company description may be considered boilerplate? It's not navigation/legal/EEO, it's about the company. Might be okay to keep as part of About the role? However the heading is About the role, not About Peraton. We could include a short paragraph about Peraton as context under About the role? Might be considered relevant. But we could also omit it because it's not directly about the role. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." The company description is substantive? It's about the company, not the role. Might be considered peripheral but still part of posting. However the sections we can output are limited; we could include it under About the role as a brief intro. But the heading is About the role, not About the company. Might be okay to include a sentence about Peraton as part of the role context. Better to include a short paragraph: "Peraton is a next-generation national security company ..." as part of About the role section. Now we need to ensure we don't include duplicated lines. There's a line: "The position will be responsible for the following but not limited too:" which is grammatical error but we keep meaning. Now produce HTML. Check for any prohibited content: no EEO line, no application instructions, no cookie/navigation. Let's craft. About the role paragraph: "Peraton is a next-generation national security company that drives missions of consequence spanning the globe and extending to the farthest reaches of the galaxy. As the world's leading mission capability integrator and transformative enterprise IT provider, we deliver trusted, highly differentiated solutions and technologies to protect our nation and allies. Peraton operates at the critical nexus between traditional and nontraditional threats across all domains: land, sea, space, air, and cyberspace. The company serves as a valued partner to essential government agencies and supports every branch of the U.S. armed forces. Each day, our employees solve the most daunting challenges that our customers face. Peraton is seeking a motivated Quality Assurance Automation Engineer to join the BASIS program team. This role is integral to maintaining the program's automation-first QA mandate - all quality assurance activities must be automated. The QA Automation Engineer will develop, execute, and maintain automated test scripts and test cases across the full deployment pipeline, supporting Agile sprint delivery cycles and the Government-managed DevSecOps pipeline. The selected candidate will work under the guidance of senior engineers and QA leads to contribute to the development of automated test coverage, Requirements Traceability Matrices (RTMs), and UAT support activities, while adhering to rigorous DoD quality standards including zero defects to production, and compliance with DoDI 5000-87. This position is remote." That seems comprehensive. Now Responsibilities: we need to capture each bullet area. We'll create list items each starting with bold heading. Let's extract details: Test Automation Development & Execution: - Develop, implement, and maintain automated test scripts for unit, integration, and end-to-end functional testing in accordance with Agile sprint schedules and program quality standards. - Ensure all automated test cases are executable by the end of each Agile sprint and delivered for incorporation into the Government-managed DevSecOps pipeline. - Support the program's Test-Driven Development (TDD) methodology by writing test cases prior to code development in collaboration with software developers. - Analyze the current state of test automation coverage and contribute to the Test Automation State Assessment Report and corresponding automation completion project plan.
