We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we need headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use .
- Requirements: bullet list under "Requirements". The posting includes: "JD from an ABA approved school", "Must be licensed in the State of California", "8+ years of solid litigation experience, specifically with litigation support, deposition and trial preparation", "5+ years of litigation experience handling Lemon Law defense matters", "2+ years of CRLA, tenant advocacy, or housing litigation experience", "2+ years of General Liability defense experience", "Ability to manage full case handling responsibilities, including all facets of discovery and trial", "Experience handling insurance defense matters preferred", "Experience with time management systems", "Proficiency in MS Suite, specifically Word, PowerPoint and Outlook", "Ability to think and act independently and with minimal supervision", "Outstanding listening, verbal and written communication skills", "Professional appearance and demeanor". We'll list each.
- Qualifications: maybe not separate; but we have Requirements already. Could treat Requirements as Qualifications. But we need to follow headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can include sections that have content. We have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements. Possibly Skills: we have proficiency in MS Suite, time management systems, etc. Could put under Skills. Qualifications maybe duplicate of Requirements; but we can include Qualifications if we have content like education, licensing, years experience. However we already have Requirements covering those. To avoid duplication, we could put education/licensing under Qualifications, and experience/skills under Requirements or Skills. But instructions: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe combine into fewer sections. But we must follow headings list only when we have content. We could have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (which includes qualifications and skills), Benefits, Pay. That's 5 sections. That seems fine.
We must not create Schedule section because no schedule info. Benefits we have details. Pay we have salary range and bonus details.
We need to include all substantive info: also mention flexible work options, etc. That could go under Benefits or About the role. Benefits section includes flexible work model, etc. We'll include Benefits with bullet list: Employee Assistance Program, in-house training, CLE programs, paid bar license renewal, flexible vacation, pathway to partnership, diversity programs, charitable giving, social events, flexible work model (remote/hybrid/onsite), technology reimbursement, student loan repayment assistance, parental leave, 401(k) match, etc. Also mention comprehensive benefits coverage, zero employee cost plans, average employer contribution, etc. Also mention "Comprehensive benefits coverage offered, including plans available at zero employee cost (average annual employer contribution for health/vision/dental/life coverage is $700-$1,700)".

Also "Student loan repayment assistance or 529 college savings plan (full-time attorneys after one year with the firm) $100-$200/month". Also "Paid parental leave at base pay". Also "Employees receive a monthly technology reimbursement of $60". Also "Flexible Work Options – In-office, hybrid, or remote—we focus on performance and outcomes, not location."

We must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal copy, equal opportunity notice, etc. Also remove "Please note: An active license with the State Bar of California is required." That's a requirement; we can include under Requirements. Also remove "OK, now for the legal copy..." etc. Also remove "Equal Opportunity Employer Notice". Also remove "NOTICE TO APPLICANTS/EMPLOYEES..." etc. Also remove "No recruiters/agencies". Also remove "Click here to learn more about the Tyson & Mendes Office!

Also remove "We’re one of the fastest-growing civil defense firms..." etc (that's about the firm, could be part of About the role? It's substantive about firm; we could include under About the role. But it's somewhat promotional; still substantive. We'll include some of that under About the role.
We need to preserve all substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like numbers, percentages, etc.
Let's craft HTML.

for each section heading. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info.
