We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: About the role (but note the page already shows job title, we should not repeat job title as heading). The posting includes sections: About Govsignals (company description), About The Role, What You'll Do, What You Bring, THE TEAM, How We Work, How We Hire, Compensation & Benefits. We need to use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). However we can adapt headings to match content. The instruction: "use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). However we can adapt headings to match content. The instruction: "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we should use those exact headings when appropriate. But we can also use other headings? It says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely they expect we use those headings for sections we include. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have content for About the role (description), Responsibilities (What You'll Do), Requirements/Qualifications (What You Bring), Skills maybe, Benefits, Pay (Compensation & Benefits), Schedule (Hybrid). Also maybe About Govsignals could be considered "About the company" but not in list; but we could include as a section maybe not required. The instruction: "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it)". So we can have About the role heading.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate etc.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Let's extract substantive content:
- About Govsignals: description of company, mission, capabilities, customers, achievements. This is substantive. Should we include as a section? Possibly "About Govsignals" could be a section but not in prescribed list. However we could treat as "About the role"? No, that's different. 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 suggests we use those for sections. Might be safer to include a section "About Govsignals" as About Govsignals
. It's not in the list but still a heading. The instruction says "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." The "e.g." implies those are examples, not exclusive. So we can use other headings as needed.
We must not include cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. At end there is "Due to the nature of our government work, this role is open only to U.S. citizens and other U.S. Persons. GovSignals is an equal opportunity employer". That's EEO boilerplate; we should remove.
Also "How We Hire" includes interview steps; that's application instructions? It's about hiring process, maybe considered application instructions? The instruction says remove application instructions. "How We Hire" describes interview steps; that could be considered application instructions. Safer to remove that section.
Also "How We Work" maybe keep? It's about company culture; could be considered substantive. Not explicitly prohibited. We'll keep.
Compensation & Benefits: we have base salary range, equity, benefits, hybrid schedule. That's substantive.
We need to include Pay and Schedule sections if posting actually states them. It does: Base Salary: $140,000 – $190,000; Equity: Meaningful stake; Benefits: medical, vision, dental, unlimited PTO; Hybrid in our Washington, DC or Brooklyn Navy Yard offices, 3+ days a week in person. So we should have Pay section (maybe Pay
) and Benefits (Benefits
) and Schedule (Schedule
) or combine? The instruction says use those headings when appropriate. We'll create separate sections.
Now we need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like "FedRAMP High and DoW Impact Level 5 environments", "platform monitors 5,000+ live government data sources, 100,000+ federal and state agencies, and 2,000,000+ government contracts in real time", etc.
We need to format lists where appropriate.
Let's outline sections:
About Govsignals
with paragraphs.
About the role
with paragraphs.
Responsibilities
with - for each duty from "What You'll Do".
Requirements
(or Qualifications) with - for "What You Bring".

Benefits

Schedule
with Hybrid in our Washington, DC or Brooklyn Navy Yard offices, 3+ days a week in person.
We must not include headings with filler text. Ensure each heading has substantive content.
Now we need to extract the exact text for each bullet.
From "What You'll Do":
- Plan the authorization path for each customer deployment: scope the boundary, work out which controls we inherit and which we answer for, and agree the steps with the customer's security office before work starts.
- Write and maintain what approval depends on: system security plans, control narratives, architecture diagrams, and the supporting artifacts reviewers ask for.
- Prepare for assessments and reviews, answer reviewer questions directly, and track findings and POA&M items until they close.
- Keep approvals in force once granted: continuous monitoring reporting, significant change requests, annual assessments, and the vulnerability and patch evidence behind them.
- Own customer security questionnaires and security reviews, and keep a response library so each one starts from the last.
- Work with engineering when a requirement has a technical consequence: say what the control means in the product, then follow it to done.
- We deploy through Defense Unicorns, SecondFront GameWarden, and Palantir FedStart.
That's 7 bullets.
From "What You Bring":
- You've personally taken a system through a federal or DoW authorization and stayed with it through its ongoing obligations. What you did matters more than what your title was.
- Direct experience with government security reviewers, assessors, or an authorizing official's staff. You've been the one answering the questions.
- Working knowledge of NIST 800-53, RMF, and the DoW Cloud Computing SRG, including how control inheritance works when you run on an authorized platform.
- Writing that holds up under close reading. A vague answer in a package or a questionnaire can hold a deployment for weeks.
- Enough cloud fluency to read an architecture diagram, a Kubernetes manifest, or a CI configuration and ask the right question. You don't have to implement the control yourself.
- Nice to have: CMMC Level 2 or SOC 2 experience; time inside a government program office, a 3PAO, or an assessment organization; a deployment you had to get approved more than once, in more than one place; familiarity with AWS GovCloud and Kubernetes.
- Clearance: not required. An active or previous clearance is a plus.
We need to keep these as list items.
Now "About Govsignals" paragraph: Let's extract:
"GovSignals is the AI system of work for government contracting. It can take the government longer to buy a capability than an adversary takes to field one, and we exist to close that gap. We're the only startup managing government contract data with AI in both FedRAMP High and DoW Impact Level 5 environments. Our platform monitors 5,000+ live government data sources, 100,000+ federal and state agencies, and 2,000,000+ government contracts in real time. Our customers in government include offices like DIU and SOCOM, and our customers in industry range from small contractors to Fortune 500 primes with billions in annual awards. In the past 18 months, we've earned FedRAMP High and IL5 authorizations, joined GSA MAS and the MDA SHIELD IDIQ, and signed some of the biggest names in government contracting."
That's the paragraph.
"About The Role" paragraph:
"We're hiring a Security Authorization Lead to get GovSignals deployments through government security approval and keep them approved. You'll work under the CISO with support from the CTO, and you'll be the first person here dedicated to this work full time. Our customers cannot use GovSignals until their own security office says yes. Every deployment brings a different boundary, a different set of reviewers, and a different list of questions about how their data is handled. You'll plan that path with the customer before work starts, write documentation that survives a line-by-line read, answer reviewers directly, carry findings to closure, and keep the evidence current afterward so the next deployment starts ahead of where the last one did. GovSignals operates at FedRAMP High and DoW IL5 today. Some deployments will require IL6. The work also covers CMMC Level 2, SOC 2, and whatever a specific customer asks for."
That's the paragraph.
"The Team" paragraph:
"GovSignals was founded by four cofounders who lived with this problem from both sides (selling to the government and serving inside it) with backgrounds across the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Department of Energy, Palantir, Amazon, federal contractors building for missiles, and state contractors building for prisons. You'll work directly with all four. Other team members at GovSignals have shipped to defense companies, scaled venture-backed startups, and founded companies of their own."
"How We Work" paragraph:
"Design by HI (Human Intelligence), Work by AI (Artificial Intelligence). Human Intelligence takes responsibility for what we build and how we communicate to customers. Artificial Intelligence does much of the building. We provide unlimited Claude and ChatGPT credits for reasonable use, and we expect you to come in with extensive AI experience."
We should keep that.
Now "Compensation & Benefits" paragraph:
"Base Salary: $140,000 – $190,000Equity: Meaningful stake in a well-funded, fast-growing startupBenefits: medical, vision, and dental, unlimited PTOHybrid in our Washington, DC or Brooklyn Navy Yard offices, 3+ days a week in person. The Yard built ships for the Navy from 1801 to 1966, now we build systems for Navy program offices."
We need to split into Pay, Benefits, Schedule.
Pay: Base Salary: $140,000 – $190,000; Equity: Meaningful stake in a well-funded, fast-growing startup.
Benefits: medical, vision, and dental; unlimited PTO.
Schedule: Hybrid in our Washington, DC or Brooklyn Navy Yard offices, 3+ days a week in person. The Yard built ships for the Navy from 1801 to 1966, now we build systems for Navy program offices.
Now we need to ensure we don't include duplicated lines. Also remove "Due to the nature
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely they expect we use those headings for sections we include. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have content for About the role (description), Responsibilities (What You'll Do), Requirements/Qualifications (What You Bring), Skills maybe, Benefits, Pay (Compensation & Benefits), Schedule (Hybrid). Also maybe About Govsignals could be considered "About the company" but not in list; but we could include as a section maybe not required.

An active or previous clearance is a plus. We need to keep these as list items. Now "About Govsignals" paragraph: Let's extract: "GovSignals is the AI system of work for government contracting. It can take the government longer to buy a capability than an adversary takes to field one, and we exist to close that gap. We're the only startup managing government contract data with AI in both FedRAMP High and DoW Impact Level 5 environments. Our platform monitors 5,000+ live government data sources, 100,000+ federal and state agencies, and 2,000,000+ government contracts in real time. Our customers in government include offices like DIU and SOCOM, and our customers in industry range from small contractors to Fortune 500 primes with billions in annual awards. In the past 18 months, we've earned FedRAMP High and IL5 authorizations, joined GSA MAS and the MDA SHIELD IDIQ, and signed some of the biggest names in government contracting." That's the paragraph. "About The Role" paragraph: "We're hiring a Security Authorization Lead to get GovSignals deployments through government security approval and keep them approved. You'll work under the CISO with support from the CTO, and you'll be the first person here dedicated to this work full time. Our customers cannot use GovSignals until their own security office says yes. Every deployment brings a different boundary, a different set of reviewers, and a different list of questions about how their data is handled. You'll plan that path with the customer before work starts, write documentation that survives a line-by-line read, answer reviewers directly, carry findings to closure, and keep the evidence current afterward so the next deployment starts ahead of where the last one did. GovSignals operates at FedRAMP High and DoW IL5 today. Some deployments will require IL6. The work also covers CMMC Level 2, SOC 2, and whatever a specific customer asks for." That's the paragraph. "The Team" paragraph: "GovSignals was founded by four cofounders who lived with this problem from both sides (selling to the government and serving inside it) with backgrounds across the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Department of Energy, Palantir, Amazon, federal contractors building for missiles, and state contractors building for prisons. You'll work directly with all four. Other team members at GovSignals have shipped to defense companies, scaled venture-backed startups, and founded companies of their own." "How We Work" paragraph: "Design by HI (Human Intelligence), Work by AI (Artificial Intelligence). Human Intelligence takes responsibility for what we build and how we communicate to customers. Artificial Intelligence does much of the building. We provide unlimited Claude and ChatGPT credits for reasonable use, and we expect you to come in with extensive AI experience." We should keep that. Now "Compensation & Benefits" paragraph: "Base Salary: $140,000 – $190,000Equity: Meaningful stake in a well-funded, fast-growing startupBenefits: medical, vision, and dental, unlimited PTOHybrid in our Washington, DC or Brooklyn Navy Yard offices, 3+ days a week in person. The Yard built ships for the Navy from 1801 to 1966, now we build systems for Navy program offices." We need to split into Pay, Benefits, Schedule. Pay: Base Salary: $140,000 – $190,000; Equity: Meaningful stake in a well-funded, fast-growing startup. Benefits: medical, vision, and dental; unlimited PTO. Schedule: Hybrid in our Washington, DC or Brooklyn Navy Yard offices, 3+ days a week in person. The Yard built ships for the Navy from 1801 to 1966, now we build systems for Navy program offices. Now we need to ensure we don't include duplicated lines. Also remove "Due to the nature
- for "What You Bring".
