We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes description paragraphs. We need to use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections when posting has real specific content. We need to parse the posting. Content: First paragraph: "At NerdWallet, we’re on a mission..." That's about company culture, mission. Could be "About the role"? Actually it's about the company and role context. Could be "About the role" or maybe "About NerdWallet". But we only have allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can put the introductory description under "About the role". That seems appropriate. Then "The Senior IT Systems Administrator at NerdWallet is responsible for maintaining the stability, scalability, and security of the organization's technology infrastructure. They will be involved with the design, configuration, and maintenance of key IT systems, including corporate identity, endpoint management, security, networking, and cloud platforms. Additionally, they will evaluate emerging technologies to enhance efficiency and provide strategic guidance to peers and management on infrastructure-related initiatives. This role reports to the Manager, IT." That's responsibilities. So we can put under "Responsibilities" heading. Then "Where You Can Make An Impact" bullet list: Identity platform (Okta) administration; SSO, authentication, and access controls; User lifecycle management automation; onboarding and offboarding of users, devices, and application access; Maintenance of corporate IT infrastructure, including networks, servers, firewalls, applications, and cloud services (AWS, Azure, GCP); Endpoint management and configuration (Jamf, Intune), including security policy, patching, and vulnerability remediation; SOX auditing and compliance enforcement across IT infrastructure processes and procedures; Build and expand automation across IT operations, using both code and no-code tools, to reduce manual toil and improve consistency at scale; Identify opportunities to apply AI and machine learning to reduce operational burden and improve decision-making; Evaluate and adopt emerging tools and technologies that enhance identity management, endpoint security, and overall IT infrastructure efficiency; Create and maintain high-quality technical documentation (runbooks, SOPs, end-user guides); Collaborate with Security, DevOps, HR, and other teams to identify and execute infrastructure improvements; Assist IT leadership with special projects that may involve handling sensitive data, internal investigations, or strict confidentiality requirements. These are also responsibilities/duties. Could be part of Responsibilities. Then "Your Experience" heading: list of qualifications: Associate or Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field (or equivalent experience); Proficiency with network infrastructure/troubleshooting, and AWS experience; Proven experience with enterprise-scale implementations of the following: IdP/SSO concepts (SAML/OAuth), provisioning (SCIM/JIT), and platform administration (Okta); MDM platform administration (Jamf, Intune); Functional understanding of the following: Security principles (least privilege, secure design, data protection); Automation using code and no-code tools (Okta Workflows, webhooks, APIs, AWS Lambda/Cloud Functions, Python, Bash/ZSH, PowerShell); Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) and version control (Git, GitHub); Cloud concepts (IaaS, public cloud) and platform administration; Strong technical verbal and written skills and ability to produce and maintain high-quality technical documentation; Ability to build a project plan and carry it to completion without oversight; Experience with change management and helping to define team processes, procedures, and best practices; Excellent teamwork, communication, and interpersonal skills. These are qualifications/requirements. Could be under "Requirements" or "Qualifications". The allowed headings include both Requirements and Qualifications. We need to decide which to use. Probably combine into "Requirements" (or "Qualifications") but we need to avoid duplication. The posting includes "Your Experience" which is essentially qualifications. We'll put under "Qualifications". Then "Any of the following are a plus:" list: Experience scaling IT systems and infrastructure through periods of significant organizational growth and change (e.g. M&A); Demonstrated use of AI tools or AI-assisted approaches to solve real-world IT and business problems; Experience implementing compliance controls (e.g., SOX) and security standards (e.g., NIST, ISO); IT certifications in System Administration, Security, Networking, or related fields. Those could be under "Skills" (preferred skills) or maybe "Qualifications" as plus. We'll put under "Skills". Then "Where This role will be remote (based in the U.S.)." That's schedule/location. Could be under "Schedule" heading (remote). The posting says remote (based in the U.S.). So we can put under "Schedule". Also there is no explicit Pay info. So we should NOT create Pay section because not stated. Benefits: later "We believe great work can be done anywhere. No matter where you are based, NerdWallet offers benefits and perks to support the physical, financial, and emotional well being of you and your family. What We Offer Work Hard, Stay Balanced (Life’s a series of balancing acts, eh?) Industry-leading medical, dental, and vision health care plans for employees and their dependents Rejuvenation Policy – Flexible Vacation Time Off + 11 holidays + holiday company shutdown New Parent Leave for employees with a newborn child or a child placed with them for adoption or foster care Mental health support Paid sabbatical after 5 years for Nerds to recharge, gain knowledge, and pursue their interests Health and Dependent Care FSA and HSA Plan with monthly NerdWallet contribution Monthly Wellness Stipend, Cell Phone Stipend, and Wifi Stipend (Only remote Nerds are eligible for the Wifi Stipend) Work from home equipment stipend and co-working space subsidy (Only remote Nerds are eligible for these stipends) Have Some Fun! (Nerds are fun, too) Nerd-led group initiatives – Employee Resource Groups for Parents, Diversity, and Inclusion, Women, LGBTQIA, and other communities Hackathons and team events across all teams and departments Company-wide events like NerdLove (employee appreciation) and our annual Charity Auction Our Nerds love to make an impact by paying it forward – Take 8 hours of volunteer time off per quarter and donate to your favorite causes with a company match Plan for your future (And when you retire on your island, remember the little people) 401K with 4% company match Be the first to test and benefit from our new financial products and tools Financial wellness, guidance, and unlimited access to a Certified Financial Planner (CFP) through Northstar Disability and Life Insurance with employer-paid premiums" Thus we have benefits content. So we need a Benefits section. We also have location/remote info: "Where This role will be remote (based in the U.S.)." Could be under Schedule. Also maybe we could add a short paragraph under About the role? But we already used About the role for intro. We'll keep Schedule for remote. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. So we need to strip out the later paragraphs about California residents, EEO, etc. Also remove "If you are based in California, we encourage you to read this important information for California residents linked here." and the EEO statements, etc. Also remove "NerdWallet is committed to pursuing and hiring a diverse workforce..." etc. Now produce HTML fragment with headings

and appropriate content. We need to use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For prose, use

    . We need to decide which content is list vs prose. For About the role: we have a paragraph describing mission and culture. Could be

    . Responsibilities: we have a paragraph plus a list of bullet points under "Where You Can Make An Impact". Could combine: start with a

    summarizing responsibilities then a

      for the bullet list. Qualifications: list of items under "Your Experience". Could be
        . Skills: list of "Any of the following are a plus:" items. Could be
          . Benefits: list of benefits under "What We Offer". Could be
            . Schedule: short statement about remote. Could be

            . We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID. Now produce HTML. Check that we don't include empty sections. Let's craft. About the role:
