We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must not include boilerplate like EEO, cookies, legal, etc. Must preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
First paragraph: "At eBay, we're more than a global ecommerce leader — we’re changing the way the world shops and sells. Our platform empowers millions of buyers and sellers in more than 190 markets around the world. We’re committed to pushing boundaries and leaving our mark as we reinvent the future of ecommerce for enthusiasts. Our customers are our compass, authenticity thrives, bold ideas are welcome, and everyone can bring their unique selves to work — every day. We're in this together, sustaining the future of our customers, our company, and our planet. Join a team of passionate thinkers, innovators, and dreamers — and help us connect people and build communities to create economic opportunity for all."
That's generic company description; could be considered boilerplate? It's not about the role. Might be considered fluff but it's not boilerplate like EEO. However instructions: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. This is not those. It's okay to keep? Might be considered generic but it's part of posting. However we need to preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep it? The instruction about sections: Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it.
Thus we need to create sections based on content.
We have "About The Role" heading in posting. So we can create
About the Role
and then prose.
Then "Core Job Functions Include" list: Investigations, Escalations, Research, Education, Communications, Digital Forensics, Coverage. Those are responsibilities/duties. So we can put under Responsibilities.
Then "Qualifications" heading: Bachelor’s degree..., 4+ years..., certifications list, 1+ years specialized experience..., Must have experience with..., Must be available for shift work..., etc. That's qualifications.
Then "Additional Details" includes pay range, total compensation, benefits mention, remote roles not eligible for visa sponsorship, etc. So we can have Pay, Benefits, Schedule sections.
We also have "As a Security Operations Engineer You Will Work With The Following And Demonstrate Expert Knowledge In At Least Two (2) Or More Of The Following Areas" list of many areas. That could be Skills or Requirements. Probably Skills.
We need to decide sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe combine qualifications?), Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Pay range is given: $80,800 - $143,600. So we can include Pay section.
Schedule: shift work, weekends, holidays, rotating shift consisting of four (4) 10 hour shifts with four days on, three (3) days off and possible rotations across Day and Swing shifts as needed. So Schedule section.
Benefits: mention total compensation package may also include target bonus and restricted stock units, full range of medical, financial, and/or other benefits (including 401(k) eligibility and various paid time off benefits, such as PTO and parental leave). Also remote roles not eligible for U.S. visa sponsorship (that's not benefit). So we can include Benefits.
Requirements: maybe the certifications and experience? But we have Qualifications heading already. Could treat Qualifications as Requirements. But we have both Qualifications and Requirements as possible headings. The posting uses "Qualifications". We could map that to Requirements section. Or we could have both Requirements and Qualifications? The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine qualifications and requirements into one section called Requirements (or Qualifications). Since they ask to use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can choose which to include. Probably include Requirements (covers degree, experience, certifications, specialized experience, experience with...). Skills could be the list of areas (Vulnerability Assessment..., etc). About the role: the initial description about role and team.
Let's craft.
We need to strip boilerplate: The first paragraph about eBay's mission might be considered generic but it's substantive about company. Keep? Might be okay. However it's not about the role. Could be considered fluff but not prohibited. We'll keep as part of About the role? Actually About the role section should contain description of the role. The first paragraph is more about eBay. Could we put it under About the role? Might be okay but it's not role-specific. However we could keep it as a preamble before sections? The instruction says output ONLY the HTML fragment, no extra text. We could include a before first heading? It didn't forbid that. But better to incorporate into About the role: we can include that as part of About the role description.
Thus About the role: combine the eBay mission paragraph plus the description: "eBay is searching for a CSIRT Operations Engineer to join our highly visible Cyber Security Incident Response Team that provides Security Operations Center (SOC) support, cyber analysis, scripting/automation, and a 24x7x365 support staff. Within CSIRT you will build solutions to identify and mitigate security threats and work collaboratively to solve complex problems in a heterogeneous environment. Your contributions will help defend eBay's critical information assets. In this role you will work with various security methodologies and processes, so advanced knowledge of TCP/IP protocols, AI tooling and analysis, and experience providing analysis and trending of security log data from a large number of heterogeneous security devices will help you succeed in this role."
That seems good.
Now Responsibilities: list the core job functions: Investigations, Escalations, Research, Education, Communications, Digital Forensics, Coverage (shift work etc). We'll make
- .
Skills: list the areas: Vulnerability Assessment and Pen Testing, Intrusion Prevention and Detection, Access Control and Authorization, Policy Enforcement, Application Security, Protocol Analysis, cloud monitoring, Firewall Management, Encryption, Web-filtering, Advanced Threat Protection, Email Security, Digital Forensics, Monitoring and Detection, Cyber Intelligence Analysis. We'll make
- .
Requirements: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology, Cybersecurity, or related field; 4 or more years of professional experience in incident detection and response, malware analysis, or digital forensics; Must have at least one (1) of the following certifications: list; 1 or more years of specialized experience in one of the following areas: Security Assessment or Offensive Security, Application Security, Security Operations Center/Security Incident Response, Cyber intelligence Analysis; Must have experience with: Offensive Techniques, Logs, System Forensics, Networking Fundamentals, Scripting, Risk Analysis; Must be available for shift work, weekends, and holidays as well as participate in a rotating shift consisting of four (4) 10 hour shifts with four days on, three (3) days off and possible rotations across Day and Swing shifts as needed.
But note shift work also appears in Schedule; we might duplicate. Better to put shift work requirement under Schedule, not Requirements. However the posting includes shift work under Qualifications. We could keep it in Requirements but then Schedule would be duplicate. To avoid duplication, we could put shift work mention in Schedule only, and not repeat in Requirements. However the instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. If we omit shift work from Requirements, we lose that detail. But we can include it in Schedule section, which is a separate section. That's okay; we still preserve it. So we can keep shift work under Schedule, not under Requirements. But the posting also says "Must be available for shift work, weekends, and holidays as well as participate in a rotating shift consisting of four (4) 10 hour shifts with four days on, three (3) days off and possible rotations across Day and Swing shifts as needed" appears twice: once under Qualifications and again under Additional Details? Actually it's under Qualifications after "Must have experience with:" and then again later under "Additional Details"? Let's check: In the posting: after "Must have experience with: Offensive Techniques, Logs, System Forensics, Networking Fundamentals, Scripting, Risk Analysis" then "Must be available for shift work, weekends, and holidays as well as participate in a rotating shift consisting of four (4) 10 hour shifts with four days on, three (3) days off and possible rotations across Day and Swing shifts as needed". Then later under "Additional Details": there is no repeat of shift work. Actually there is a line: "Coverage - Perform shift work, weekends, and holidays as well as participate in a rotating shift consisting of four (4) 10 hour shifts with four days on, three (3) days off and possible rotations across Day and Swing shifts as needed" under Core Job Functions Include. So shift work appears in Core Job Functions (Coverage) and also under Qualifications. So it's duplicated. We can keep it once, maybe under Schedule.
Thus Requirements will exclude shift work mention.
Now Benefits: mention total compensation package may also include target bonus and restricted stock units (as applicable) in addition to a full range of medical, financial, and/or other benefits (including 401(k) eligibility and various paid time off benefits, such as PTO and parental leave). Also remote roles not eligible for U.S. visa sponsorship (that's not benefit). We'll include that.
Pay: base pay range $80,800 - $143,600. Also note base pay offered may vary depending on multiple individualized factors, including location, skills, and experience. The total compensation package may also include other elements... but that's more benefits. We'll keep Pay section with base pay range and note that base pay may vary depending on factors.
Schedule: shift work, weekends, holidays, rotating shift consisting of four (4) 10 hour shifts with four days on, three (3) days off and possible rotations across Day and Swing shifts as needed.
Now we need to output HTML fragment only, no markdown.
