We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections with real specific content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. We need to parse the posting. Content: - Intro paragraph: "GuidePoint Security provides trusted cybersecurity expertise, solutions and services that help organizations make better decisions and minimize risk.

In this role you will be a technical resource who leverages deep knowledge, skills, and experience to deliver results to clients across a variety of sectors, applying creativity and adaptability to mission-critical assessments." We can treat that as "About the role" or "General Description". Use heading

About the role

maybe. Then "Roles and Responsibilities:" with subpoints. We need to extract bullet list items.

Client & Practice Contribution - Client Relationships: Foster client relationships by providing support, information, and guidance during engagements, serving as a credible technical voice. - Practice Evolution: Help the DFIR Practice adapt to a perpetually evolving service portfolio driven by emerging threats and diverse client needs. - Growth Mindset: Maintain a strong desire to learn, adapt, and improve alongside a rapidly growing company; perform other duties as assigned. Engagement & Availability Expectations - Maintaining availability outside standard business hours during high-severity incident surges. - Participating in on-call rotation as appropriate for the role. - Proactively identifying and addressing gaps in engagement delivery, processes, or client communication. - Setting an example of professionalism, urgency, and ownership on every engagement. We can group these under Responsibilities. Then "Required Experience and Education:" with bullet list. We need to extract specifics: - 7 years of experience, including: - Four (4+) years of hands-on experience performing incident response investigations. - Six (6+) combined years of IT and information security experience. - Demonstrated proficiency across core DFIR disciplines: host forensics, network traffic analysis, malware handling/triage, log review, and BEC analysis. - Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present technical findings to both technical and managerial audiences. - Creativity and adaptability to solve challenging and complex problems in a rapidly changing environment. - Embraces emerging technologies, including AI tools, to work smarter, solve problems, and drive better business outcomes. Then "Preferred Experience and Education": - Prior experience in a consulting or professional services role. - Experience with established DFIR methodology and process. - Experience with a variety of industry-related solutions including EDR, NDR, XDR, SIEM, FW, NGAV, Velociraptor, and others. - Proficiency with common programming and scripting languages including PowerShell, Python, Bash, Go, or similar. - Experience with enterprise cloud technologies such as Amazon Web Services, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, and Azure. - Awareness of attacker techniques, advanced threat groups, and integration of threat intelligence into an investigation. - Relevant industry certifications such as, but not limited to, GCFA, GCFE, GCIH, GCIA, GDAT, GREM, or CISSP.

Then "Travel Requirements: Up to 20% travel" Physical Requirements: Sedentary work; Substantial movement of the wrists, hands, and/or fingers for a minimum of 8 hours a day; Required to have close visual acuity to view computer terminal and/or extensive reading for a minimum of 8 hours a day. Then "We use Greenhouse Software..." etc. That's application instructions / boilerplate; we should remove. Then "Why GuidePoint?" paragraph with perks. We need to decide sections: About the role (General Description), Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe combine Required Experience and Education and Preferred Experience and Education?), Skills (maybe list skills?), Benefits (perks), Pay (none given), Schedule (none given). Since Pay and Schedule not provided, we should not include those sections. We need to include Benefits section only if posting actually states them. The posting includes perks: Remote workforce primarily (U.S. based only, some travel may be required for certain positions, working on-site may be required for Federal positions) Group Medical Insurance options..., Group Dental Insurance..., 12 corporate holidays and a Flexible Time Off (FTO) program, Healthy mobile phone and home internet allowance, Eligibility for retirement plan after 2 months at open enrollment, Pet Benefit Option. That's benefits. Thus we can include Benefits section. We also have Travel Requirements and Physical Requirements; maybe we can include under a section like "Additional Information" but not in prescribed headings. The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings? It says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It implies we should use those headings for sections; we could also add other headings if needed? Probably better to stick to those. Travel and Physical could go under Requirements or maybe under a "Requirements" section as part of experience/education? But they are not experience/education; they are job demands. Could be placed under "Requirements" as additional requirements. Or we could create a separate section like "Working Conditions" but not in list; maybe we can incorporate into Responsibilities? Not ideal. We could include them under a "Requirements" section as bullet points: Travel Requirements: Up to 20% travel; Physical Requirements: Sedentary work; etc. Thus we can have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits. We might also include Skills section: maybe list technical skills from required/preferred. But we could incorporate into Requirements. The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we can combine Required and Preferred experience into Requirements, and maybe include Skills as part of Requirements or separate? But we have a lot of skill details; maybe better to have a Skills section. Let's think: The posting includes many skill specifics: proficiency across core DFIR disciplines, communication skills, creativity, emerging tech, programming languages, cloud tech, threat intel, certifications. Those could be under Skills. Requirements could be about experience and education (years, etc). Benefits separate. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Benefits. We need to ensure we don't create sections with filler like "not specified". All have content. Now we need to output HTML fragment only, no markdown fences. We'll produce:
