We need to output HTML fragment with sections: Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule? Let's see what content is present. Original text includes: - Responsibilities: "We decide how ByteDance's massive fleet of computers gets used — turning hundreds of clusters and millions of daily workloads (microservices, big data, and large AI/LLM jobs) into a system that's highly efficient, reliable, and increasingly self-managing, powered by our own intelligent scheduling platform Godel (open-sourced to the community). Our mission: get the most value out of every unit of computing power, at a scale few places in the world can offer, and let AI increasingly help run the infrastructure. We are looking for talented individuals to join us for an internship. PhD internships at Our Company provide students with the opportunity to actively contribute to our products and research, as well as to the organization's future plans and emerging technologies. Our dynamic internship experience blends hands-on learning, enriching community-building and professional development events, and collaboration with industry experts. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, so we encourage you to apply early. Please clearly state your availability in your resume (Start date, End date)." Then "What You Might Work On One Focused, Real Project Within Our Scope — For Example Help make our intelligent, AI-driven scheduler smarter at placing and balancing workloads. Explore new ways to get more useful work out of the same hardware — smarter use of compute, memory, or power. Build tools that help a global platform run reliably and increasingly manage itself, including AI-agent-assisted automation." Then "Why This Role Matters The AI era runs on compute — and using it efficiently is one of the defining challenges for our company and the whole industry. Our team owns that challenge at ByteDance's global scale, making the infrastructure behind TikTok and our AI/LLM products faster, smarter, and far more efficient. As an intern, you'll get a real project at the center of it." Then "Qualifications Minimum Qualifications Currently pursuing a PhD in Computer Science or a related discipline. Able to commit to a 12-week internship during Summer 2027. Experience coding in Go, C++, Python, Java, or C#. Preferred Qualifications Intent to return to your degree program after the internship. Strong fundamentals in systems, distributed computing, or software engineering — shown through internships, work, research, competitions, or projects. Curiosity about large-scale or AI/ML infrastructure; exposure to Linux, containers, or Kubernetes is a plus but not required. High creativity and quick problem-solving." Then "Job Information 【For Pay Transparency】Compensation Description (Hourly) - Campus Intern The hourly rate range for this position in the selected city is $57- $57. Benefits may vary depending on the nature of employment and the country work location. Interns have day one access to health insurance, life insurance, wellbeing benefits and more.

Then "For Los Angeles County (unincorporated) Candidates Qualified applicants with arrest or conviction records will be considered for employment in accordance with all federal, state, and local laws including the Los Angeles County Fair Chance Ordinance for Employers and the California Fair Chance Act. Our company believes that criminal history may have a direct, adverse and negative relationship on the following job duties, potentially resulting in the withdrawal of the conditional offer of employment: Interacting and occasionally having unsupervised contact with internal/external clients and/or colleagues; Appropriately handling and managing confidential information including proprietary and trade secret information and access to information technology systems; and Exercising sound judgment." Then "About Us Founded in 2012, ByteDance's mission is to inspire creativity and enrich life. With a suite of more than a dozen products, including TikTok, Lemon8, CapCut and Pico as well as platforms specific to the China market, including Toutiao, Douyin, and Xigua, ByteDance has made it easier and more fun for people to connect with, consume, and create content." Then "Why Join ByteDance Inspiring creativity is at the core of ByteDance's mission.

Then "Diversity & Inclusion ByteDance is committed to creating an inclusive space where employees are valued for their skills, experiences, and unique perspectives.

To achieve that goal, we are committed to celebrating our diverse voices and to creating an environment that reflects the many communities we reach. We are passionate about this and hope you are too." Then "Reasonable Accommodation ByteDance is committed to providing reasonable accommodations in our recruitment processes for candidates with disabilities, pregnancy, sincerely held religious beliefs or other reasons protected by applicable laws. If you need assistance or a reasonable accommodation, please reach out to us at https://tinyurl.com/RA-request" We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Also remove "Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." Also remove "Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, so we encourage you to apply early. Please clearly state your availability in your resume (Start date, End date)." That's application instructions, should be removed. Also remove "For Los Angeles County (unincorporated) Candidates ..." that's EEO/legal boilerplate, remove. Remove "About Us", "Why Join ByteDance", "Diversity & Inclusion", "Reasonable Accommodation" as they are boilerplate? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. "About Us", "Why Join ByteDance", "Diversity & Inclusion", "Reasonable Accommodation" might be considered boilerplate but not explicitly listed. However they are generic company description; they might be considered not substantive for the role. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Likely we should keep only sections with real specific content: Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule? Let's see. Pay: The posting includes compensation description: hourly rate range $57- $57 (typo maybe $57-$57?). It says "The hourly rate range for this position in the selected city is $57- $57." That seems like a placeholder but it's a specific number. It's not "commensurate with experience" etc. It's a specific rate, albeit same min and max. Should we include Pay section? The rule: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state compensation description, so we can include Pay. However the text says "$57- $57." Might be a formatting error but it's still a specific value. We'll include. Benefits: The posting mentions benefits: "Interns have day one access to health insurance, life insurance, wellbeing benefits and more. Interns also receive 10 paid holidays per year and paid sick time (56 hours if hired in first half of year, 40 if hired in second half of year). Interns who are not working 100% remote may also be eligible for housing allowance." That's substantive benefits. So include Benefits. Schedule: The posting mentions "Able to commit to a 12-week internship during Summer 2027." That's schedule info. Also maybe "Interns who are not working 100% remote may also be eligible for housing allowance." Not schedule. So we can include Schedule section with that detail. Also "What You Might Work On" could be part of Responsibilities or separate? Could be considered responsibilities. We'll incorporate into Responsibilities. "Why This Role Matters" could be part of Responsibilities or separate? Might be considered motivation; but we can include as part of Responsibilities or maybe a separate section? The instruction: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we can combine "What You Might Work On" and "Why This Role Matters" into Responsibilities. Thus sections: Responsibilities (including what you might work on and why role matters), Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to use

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

    for prose. We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. We need to extract the responsibilities prose. Let's gather responsibilities text: Original responsibilities block: "We decide how ByteDance's massive fleet of computers gets used — turning hundreds of clusters and millions of daily workloads (microservices, big data, and large AI/LLM jobs) into a system that's highly efficient, reliable, and increasingly self-managing, powered by our own intelligent scheduling platform Godel (open-sourced to the community). Our mission: get the most value out of every unit of computing power, at a scale few places in the world can offer, and let AI increasingly help run the infrastructure. We are looking for talented individuals to join us for an internship. PhD internships at Our Company provide students with the opportunity to actively contribute to our products and research, as well as to the organization's future plans and emerging technologies. Our dynamic internship experience blends hands-on learning, enriching community-building and professional development events, and collaboration with industry experts." Then "What You Might Work On One Focused, Real Project Within Our Scope — For Example Help make our intelligent, AI-driven scheduler smarter at placing and balancing workloads. Explore new ways to get more useful work out of the same hardware — smarter use of compute, memory, or power. Build tools that help a global platform run reliably and increasingly manage itself, including AI-agent-assisted automation." Then "Why This Role Matters The AI era runs on compute — and using it efficiently is one of the defining challenges for our company and the whole industry. Our team owns that challenge at ByteDance's global scale, making the infrastructure behind TikTok and our AI/LLM products faster, smarter, and far more efficient. As an intern, you'll get a real project at the center of it." We need to combine into a coherent prose. Remove application instructions: "Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, so we encourage you to apply early. Please clearly state your availability in your resume (Start date, End date)." That's in responsibilities block originally; we must remove it. Thus responsibilities prose: combine the above paragraphs (excluding the application instruction). Ensure we keep all details. Let's craft a paragraph: "We decide how ByteDance's massive fleet of computers gets used — turning hundreds of clusters and millions of daily workloads (microservices, big data, and large AI/LLM jobs) into a system that's highly efficient, reliable, and increasingly self-managing, powered by our own intelligent scheduling platform Godel (open-sourced to the community).
