Security Engineer

We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Remove boilerplate, navigation, EEO, etc. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Key parts: - Application window close date: "The application window is expected to close on: 10/30/2026". That's metadata; we can fold into a short

maybe. - "Meet the Team" paragraph: description of team. - "Your Impact": bullet-like sentences describing responsibilities. - Minimum Qualifications: list. - Preferred Qualifications: list. - "Why Cisco?" paragraph: company description. - Salary range: "Message to applicants applying to work in the U.S. and/or Canada: The starting salary range posted for this position is $128,600.00 to $184,900.00 ...". Also specific state ranges: New York City Metro Area $155,000.00 - $256,000.00; Non-Metro New York State & Washington State $138,100.00 - $227,900.00. Also mention benefits: medical, dental, vision, 401(k) with match, paid parental leave, short/long-term disability, basic life insurance, Cisco RSUs, paid time away details, etc. - Also mention "Employees may be eligible to receive grants of Cisco restricted stock units..." etc. - Also mention "U.S. employees are eligible for paid time away as described below..." with details. - Also mention "For non-sales roles, employees are also eligible to earn annual bonuses subject to Cisco’s policies." etc. Also sales incentive details. We need to decide sections. We have: - About the role: maybe combine "Meet the Team" and "Your Impact"? Actually "About the role" could be description of role and impact. Could use "Your Impact" as responsibilities. - Responsibilities: list of duties from "Your Impact": lead design/deployment of security sub-components, develop/refine automated incident response playbooks, execute deep-dive forensic investigations and hypothesis-based threat hunting, collaborate with DevOps/engineering to remediate vulnerabilities, mentor junior engineers and provide architectural guidance. - Requirements: Minimum Qualifications bullet list. - Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications bullet list. - Skills: maybe combine some skills from qualifications? Could list proficiency with SIEM, EDR, Vulnerability Management, secure coding, etc. But we might not need separate Skills if covered. - Benefits: list of benefits: medical, dental, vision insurance, 401(k) with Cisco matching, paid parental leave, short and long-term disability, basic life insurance, Cisco RSUs vesting, paid time away details (10 paid holidays + 1 floating holiday for non-exempt, 1 paid day off for birthday, paid year-end holiday shutdown, 4 paid days off for personal wellness, non-exempt vacation 16 days, exempt flexible vacation, 80 hours sick time per year, carryover, optional paid time for family emergencies, optional 10 paid volunteer days, annual bonuses for non-sales, sales incentive details). That's a lot. - Pay: salary ranges: starting salary range $128,600-$184,900 (US/Canada), plus specific state ranges: NYC Metro $155k-$256k, Non-Metro NY & WA $138.1k-$227.9k. Also note that for quota-based sales roles ranges include base+incentive. Also note Illinois unique time off program (but that's more about time off, maybe under Benefits or Schedule). Also note "Employees in Illinois, whether exempt or non-exempt, will participate in a unique time off program to meet local requirements." That's schedule/benefit. - Schedule: maybe mention vacation accrual rates, sick time, holidays, etc. Could be part of Benefits or Schedule. Since we have both Benefits and Schedule sections possible, we need to decide what to put where. The instruction: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have all those headings if content exists. We must not create sections with filler like "not specified". So we need actual content for each. We have content for: - About the role: maybe a paragraph summarizing role: "You will join a collaborative group of technical leaders..." etc. Could use the "Meet the Team" and "Your Impact" combined. - Responsibilities: bullet list from "Your Impact". - Requirements: bullet list from Minimum Qualifications. - Qualifications: bullet list from Preferred Qualifications. - Skills: maybe list specific technical skills: SIEM, EDR, Vulnerability Management platforms, secure coding principles, Wiz.io, Tenable Nessus, Splunk, Cisco Secure Suite, Trend Micro, CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Microsoft Defender, AWS/Azure, certifications (CySA+, PenTest+, Security+, AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner, ISC2 SSCP), communication skills. Could be a section. - Benefits: list of benefits as described. - Pay: salary ranges. - Schedule: details about vacation, holidays, sick time, etc. Could include the paid time away details. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID/requisition numbers. Must remove boilerplate like cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. The posting didn't have explicit EEO but there is a "Message to applicants applying to work in the U.S. and/or Canada:" which is about salary, not EEO. There's also "Why Cisco?" which is fine. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we must include all details from the posting, but we can reorganize.
