Senior Infrastructure & Security Engineer
for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. The posting includes: About the role? There's intro about HKA and "As Part Of The HKA Team You Can Expect". That could be "About the role". We'll include that as prose.
Responsibilities: there is a list under "Responsibilities" with subheadings: Infrastructure & Cloud Operations, Security Engineering & Identity Management, Security Operations & Risk Management, Governance & Compliance. Each has bullet points. We'll combine into a single - list? The instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can flatten all bullet points into one list, or we could keep subheadings? Probably just list items. We'll preserve all bullet points.
Qualifications: There's "Qualifications and Experienced Required" and then bullet list. Also "Preferred" after that. We'll treat qualifications as required qualifications list. Preferred could be separate? Could be under Skills? But we have Skills section optional. We could put required qualifications under "Requirements" heading, and preferred under "Skills" heading? Actually headings list includes Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide mapping. The posting has "Qualifications and Experienced Required" (required) and then "Preferred". Could map required to "Requirements" or "Qualifications". Since there is both Qualifications and Skills headings, we could put required under "Qualifications", preferred under "Skills". Or we could combine. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine required and preferred into one "Qualifications" section, but we have both headings available. However we should not create empty sections. We'll include "Qualifications" for required, and "Skills" for preferred (makes sense). Also there is "Pay" section: compensation details. Include Pay heading with salary range and maybe benefits? Benefits separate.
Benefits: there is description of benefits after compensation. We'll include Benefits heading.
Schedule: there is hybrid location mention: "This is a hybrid role with ideal locations of Phoenix, AZ or Las Vegas, NV." That's schedule? Could be location not schedule. There's no explicit schedule like full-time, hours. So we should not create Schedule section because no specific schedule info. So omit Schedule.
Also need to include short
for minor metadata like Job ID etc. There's none.
We must remove boilerplate: EEO, scam warning, etc. Remove lines like "Stay Alert: Protect Yourself from Phishing Scams" etc. Also remove "Fairness And Equality At HKA" etc. Also remove "Our Global Recruitment team is committed..." etc. Also remove "At HKA we recognize that our people are critical..." etc. Also remove "All HKA employment decisions shall be made..." etc. Also remove the phishing scam warning.
We need to preserve all substantive information: intro about HKA, As Part Of The HKA Team You Can Expect bullet points (though they are not bullet list but sentences). We'll turn into
.
Responsibilities: we need to capture each bullet point under each subheading. Let's extract them.

- Stay Alert: Protect Yourself from Phishing Scams ... (remove)
We need to keep substantive info: compensation paragraph, benefits description, inclusive culture statement maybe part of Benefits? The benefits paragraph includes benefits details. The inclusive culture statement could be part of Benefits or maybe a separate section? There's no heading for culture. Could include under Benefits as additional prose. But we should not create thin sections. We'll include the benefits description under Benefits heading, and maybe include the inclusive culture statement as part of Benefits as well (makes sense). The recruitment team statement is boilerplate? It's about recruitment process; could be considered boilerplate but it's substantive about candidate experience. Might keep? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The recruitment team statement is not exactly those categories; it's about recruitment process. Might be considered boilerplate? It's generic. Safer to remove? The instruction says remove duplicated lines and application instructions. This is not application instructions. It's about recruitment process. Could keep but it's somewhat generic. I'd lean to keep as part of Benefits or maybe a separate "About the role"? Actually "About the role" already includes intro about HKA and As Part Of The HKA Team You Can Expect. The recruitment team statement is about the hiring process, not role. Could be omitted as not directly about role. I'd remove it to keep focused.
Also "Fairness And Equality At HKA" is EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate; remove.
Thus Benefits section will contain the compensation benefits description (medical, dental, vision, 401k, PTO, etc.) plus maybe the inclusive culture statement? I'd keep only the benefits description.
Pay section: we need Pay heading with salary range. The compensation paragraph includes salary range and benefits. We could split: Pay heading for salary range, Benefits heading for benefits. That seems appropriate.
Thus:

But note the text runs together without spaces. We need to preserve as is but we can add spaces for readability? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. We should keep the exact text but we can format with and keep the text as is (including missing spaces). It's okay.
Better to add a space after periods for readability but that would be inventing? Slightly altering. Safer to keep exactly as given. However the given text has no spaces after periods; we can keep that.
