Let's parse the posting.

with paragraphs.

Are you passionate about solving problems in an online world where threats grow ever more sophisticated? You will have the opportunity to impact the evolution of Amazon technology as well as lead mission critical projects early in your career. If this describes you, consider joining us as an security engineer intern! Amazon interns have the opportunity to work alongside the industry’s brightest engineers who innovate every day on behalf of our customers"
- Then "Key job responsibilities As a Security Engineer Intern, You Will/may ..." list of responsibilities.
- Then "A day in the life Our internship program provides hands-on learning and building experiences for students who are interested in a career in security engineering. In addition to working on an impactful project, you will have the opportunity to engage with Amazonians for both personal and professional development, expand your network, and participate in fun activities with other interns throughout the summer. No matter the location of your internship, we give you the tools to own your internship and learn in a real-world setting."
- Then "Basic Qualifications Experience with coding/scripting in one or more languages (e.g., Python, C, C++, Java, Ruby, or PowerShell) Knowledge of one or more of the following domains: access-control system and methodology, network security, application- and system-development security, security architecture and models, cryptography, and operations security Work 40 hours/week minimum and commit to 12 week internship maximum Are 18 years of age or older Are enrolled in a academic program that is physically located in the United States Currently working towards a Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Cybersecurity, or other equivalent discipline, with an expected conferral date between October 2027 – December 2030."
- Then "Preferred Qualifications Experience with tools such as Wireshark, encryption software, Snort, Sguil, Suricata, Kibana, Metasploit, Nmap, OpenSSL, or Setkey Experience with AWS Services including EC2, Lambda, S3, DynamoDB, SQS Previous technical internship(s) and/or co-op(s) in one or more of the following domains: access-control system and methodology, network security, application- and system-development security, security architecture and models, cryptography, and operations security. Enrolled in a Master’s Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Cybersecurity, or other equivalent discipline, with an expected conferral date between October 2027 – December 2030."
- Then EEO boilerplate etc to be removed.
- Then "The starting pay for this position is listed below. Starting Day 1 of employment, Amazon offers EAP, Mental Health Support, Medical Advice Line, 401(k) matching. Learn more about our benefits at https://hiring.amazon.com/why-amazon/benefits. Seattle, WA, USA - 129,200.00 USD Annually Company - Amazon.com Services LLC - A57 Job ID: A10557133"
We need to extract pay: "Seattle, WA, USA - 129,200.00 USD Annually". That's a pay figure. Also benefits: "Starting Day 1 of employment, Amazon offers EAP, Mental Health Support, Medical Advice Line, 401(k) matching." Also link to benefits.
Schedule: The posting mentions "interns should expect to work in office, Monday-Friday, up to 40 hours per week typically between 8am-5pm. Specific team norms around working hours will be communicated by your manager." Also "Work 40 hours/week minimum and commit to 12 week internship maximum" under Basic Qualifications. So schedule info exists: Monday-Friday, up to 40 hours/week, typical 8am-5pm. Also mention 12 week internship maximum. So we can include a Schedule section.
Benefits: we have EAP, Mental Health Support, Medical Advice Line, 401(k) matching. Also link.
Pay: we have annual salary figure.
Thus we can include sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe Basic Qualifications?), Qualifications (maybe Preferred Qualifications?), Skills (maybe not separate; we could combine skills under Qualifications or Skills). The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to include only those with real specific content. We have content for About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (Basic Qualifications), Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications), Skills? Could we extract skills from responsibilities? Might be redundant. Better to not create Skills if no explicit skills list separate. Could combine skills under Qualifications. But we need to follow instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe we combine Requirements and Qualifications into one? But they are distinct headings. We could have Requirements (Basic Qualifications) and Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications). That's two sections. Skills maybe not needed. Benefits, Pay, Schedule we have.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We must not include Job ID etc. Must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, accommodations, etc. Must not include application instructions (like "By applying to this position, your application will be considered...") Actually that is substantive? It's about consideration for all Security Engineer roles. Might be considered part of About the role? It's not a boilerplate; it's info about application consideration. Could keep in About the role.
We must not repeat the job title as heading. The job title is "Security Engineer Intern". Not used as heading.
We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. So we can drop the Job ID line. We must preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all details: locations, start dates, etc. We need to format lists with
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits.
We need to use
for prose. Let's craft. First, About the role: combine the initial description paragraphs plus "What's in it for you?" maybe also the "Would you like to assess risk..." paragraph. We'll keep as prose. We'll need to break into paragraphs logically. Let's extract About the role content: - "Shape what comes next | Discover careers in Tech At Amazon, our tech isn't just a tool, it's your playground. Our engineers work on scalable systems, cloud services, and customer-facing products that operate at global scale. This is an environment where you learn by building.

There's no single path forward here, with a chance to explore different directions and shape your journey as you go. This is where ambition meets opportunity and, where the impact of what you build helps define what comes next, for customers and for you." - "What's in it for you? An internship at Amazon means real responsibility from day one. You'll build, test, and learn alongside people who want to see you succeed, while making an impact that reaches far beyond campus. Amazon internships across all seasons are full-time positions, and interns should expect to work in office, Monday-Friday, up to 40 hours per week typically between 8am-5pm. Specific team norms around working hours will be communicated by your manager. Interns should not have conflicts such as classes or other employment during the Amazon work-day.

Finalization on the location and start dates available will be provided to you at the time of job offer." - "Would you like to assess risk and help deliver countermeasures that protect customer data and prevent attempts to infiltrate company systems? Are you passionate about solving problems in an online world where threats grow ever more sophisticated? You will have the opportunity to impact the evolution of Amazon technology as well as lead mission critical projects early in your career. If this describes you, consider joining us as an security engineer intern! Amazon interns have the opportunity to work alongside the industry’s brightest engineers who innovate every day on behalf of our customers" That seems comprehensive. Now Responsibilities: list from "Key job responsibilities As a Security Engineer Intern, You Will/may ..." then bullet points. Let's extract bullet points: - Collaborate with experienced Amazonians to create and execute security controls, defenses, and countermeasures to intercept and prevent internal and/or external attacks - Develop, test, review, debug, or deploy code that supports security protocols - Work effectively with your team to identify security problems and improve the security aspects of their service(s) - Assess risks that could affect the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of data, systems, or services - Resolve security events, incidents, or conduct security assessments using penetration tests, ethical hacking tools, or risk mitigation methodologies to evaluate vulnerabilities - Classify, store, and handle data in
