We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes description paragraphs. We need to use for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to include sections only if posting has real specific content.
We need to preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions). Also remove "Why First Advantage is Your Next Big Career Move", "What Are You Waiting For? Apply Today!" etc. Also remove social media follow us lines. Remove EEO paragraph.
We need to keep: At First Advantage ... (intro). The Salesforce Solution Architect is responsible... (role description). Then "What You’ll Do" list with percentages. Then "Who You Are" list of qualifications. Then "Minimal travel expected..." (travel). Then "The salary range for this position is approximately $175K-$200K base annually." Also maybe "We have great people here..." but that's fluff; maybe keep? It's not boilerplate but could be considered generic. Might keep as part of About the role? The instruction: 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. The "We have great people here and are looking for more. Come join us!" is somewhat promotional but not boilerplate; could be considered part of About the role? Might keep as a paragraph.
We need to decide sections.
We have content for About the role: introductory paragraph(s) describing company and role. Could be under

We need to decide sections.
We have content for About the role: introductory paragraph(s) describing company and role. Could be under About the role
.
Responsibilities: the "What You’ll Do" bullet list (with percentages). Use - .
Requirements: maybe combine "Who You Are" list (qualifications). Could be under Requirements or Qualifications. The instruction says use headings for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections to include based on content.
We have qualifications: proficiency in Apex, etc., experience, certifications, degree, years experience, etc. That's qualifications/requirements. Could put under
Qualifications
or Requirements
. We need to avoid duplicate sections; choose one. Probably Qualifications.
Skills: maybe we could extract technical skills list (Apex, Visualforce, LWC, Flow, data modeling, ETL, REST/SOAP APIs, middleware, CI/CD, version control, sandbox management, identity management SSO SAML OAuth). That's skills. Could put under Skills.
But we already have qualifications covering many of those. To avoid thin sections, we could combine qualifications and skills into one Qualifications section. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe just have About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Pay, Schedule (travel). Benefits: not mentioned besides maybe "great people" but no explicit benefits. So skip Benefits.
Schedule: travel expectation (minimal travel expected, approx 10% or less). That's schedule-ish. Could be under Schedule.
Pay: salary range.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Pay, Schedule.
We need to ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. Good.
Now craft HTML.
We need to preserve all substantive info: include company intro, role description, responsibilities with percentages, qualifications list, travel note, salary range.
We should not include duplicated lines: ensure not to repeat same sentences.
Let's extract content.
Intro: "At First Advantage (Nasdaq: FA), people are at the heart of everything we do. From our customers and partners to our greatest advantage — our team members. Operating with empathy and compassion, First Advantage fosters a global inclusive workforce devoted to the diverse voices that make up our talent and products. Our team members empower each other to be their authentic selves and treat all with respect, integrity, and fairness. Say hello to a rewarding career and come join a leading provider of mission-critical background screening solutions to some of the most recognized Fortune 100 and Global 500 brands."
Then role description: "The Salesforce Solution Architect is responsible for designing, developing, and implementing scalable Salesforce solutions that align with the organization’s business objectives and technical strategy. This role serves as the primary technical authority on all Salesforce platform initiatives, translating complex business requirements into well-architected, maintainable solutions across Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Experience Cloud, and related Salesforce products. The ideal candidate combines deep Salesforce platform expertise with strong leadership skills to guide cross-functional teams through successful implementations."
Then "What You’ll Do" list:
- Design and architect end-to-end Salesforce solutions, including data models, security frameworks, integration architectures, and platform configurations that align with business strategy and scalability requirements (40%)
- Lead technical delivery of Salesforce projects from requirements gathering through deployment, collaborating with business analysts, developers, and stakeholders to ensure solutions meet functional and technical specifications (25%)
- Evaluate, recommend, and govern Salesforce products, AppExchange solutions, and third-party integrations; establish and enforce platform governance policies, coding standards, and best practices across the Salesforce ecosystem (20%)
- Provide technical leadership and mentorship to Salesforce developers and administrators; stay current with Salesforce releases, emerging features, and industry trends to drive continuous platform improvement (15%)
Then "Who You Are" list:
- Proficiency in Apex, Visualforce, Lightning Web Components (LWC), and Salesforce Flow
- Strong understanding of data modeling, ETL processes, and enterprise integration architecture (REST/SOAP APIs, middleware)
- Experience with Salesforce DevOps practices including CI/CD, version control, and sandbox management
- Knowledge of identity management (SSO, SAML, OAuth) as it relates to Salesforce
- Salesforce certifications strongly preferred (e.g., Certified Application Architect, Certified System Architect, Certified Technical Architect, Platform Developer II)
- Excellent written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills with management, technical peers, and business stakeholders
- Demonstrated critical thinking and analytical skills with the ability to translate complex business requirements into technical solutions
- Strong collaboration skills and ability to work in a fast-paced environment with competing priorities
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Business Administration, or related field, or equivalent work experience
- 8+ years of hands-on experience with the Salesforce platform, including configuration, customization, and development
- 5+ years in a Solution Architect, Technical Architect, or similar senior technical leadership role
- Proven track record of designing and delivering enterprise-scale Salesforce implementations
- Deep experience with Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Experience Cloud, or Marketing Cloud
- Extensive experience leading cross-functional technical teams and managing multiple concurrent projects
- Minimal travel expected, approximately 10% or less. Occasional domestic travel may be required for project kick-offs, stakeholder meetings, or team events.
Then salary: "The salary range for this position is approximately $175K-$200K base annually. This range reflects our good faith estimate to pay fairly as to what our ideal candidates are likely to expect, and we tailor our offers within the range based on the selected candidate’s experience, industry knowledge, technical and communication skills, and other factors that may prove relevant during the interview process"
Then maybe "We have great people here and are looking for more. Come join us!" plus social media follow us lines (remove). Also EEO paragraph (remove). Also "Equal Employment Opportunities at First Advantage" etc (remove). Also "Follow Us FacebookInstagramLinkedInXYouTube" (remove). Also "Why First Advantage is Your Next Big Career Move" etc (maybe keep as part of About the role? It's promotional but could be considered boilerplate? It's not legal but it's marketing fluff. Might keep as part of About the role? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. This is not those. It's more marketing. Could keep but might be considered filler. However it's substantive? It's just encouraging to apply. Might be considered application instruction? It says "What Are You Waiting For? Apply Today!" That's application instruction. So remove that. Also "We have great people here and are looking for more. Come join us!" is similar to call to action; could be considered application instruction. Safer to remove.
Thus About the role section will include the intro paragraphs up to role description, but not the later promotional fluff.
Now craft HTML.
We'll have:
