We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the team, About the role, Requirements, Compensation, Benefits, Pay, maybe Schedule? No schedule info. Also maybe "About DoorDash" etc but those are boilerplate? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should keep substantive info: About The Team, About The Role, Requirements (list), Compensation (pay range), Benefits (list), maybe "About DoorDash" is generic mission statement but could be considered boilerplate? It's about company mission; might be considered not essential? The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Likely include About the team, About the role, Requirements, Compensation, Benefits. Possibly also "About DoorDash" could be omitted as it's generic. Also "We're excited about you because…" is part of requirements? Actually that's a list of qualifications; we can incorporate into Requirements section. We need to use

for section headings. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like: global team spanning three brands, etc. Also details about responsibilities: translate indirect tax requirements, own consolidated plan, influence partner teams, etc. Also list of responsibilities: requirements and design, scope and sequencing, roadmap influence, launch and operational readiness, risk, running the program. Also the "You're excited about this opportunity because you will…" bullet points. Also "We're excited about you because…" bullet points. We need to decide how to structure: maybe About the Team (p), About the Role (p), Responsibilities (ul), Requirements (ul), Compensation (p with pay range), Benefits (ul). Could also include "What you'll get" etc. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Pay range is given: $155,000—$228,000 USD. Also mention equity grants, base salary localized, etc. Benefits list: 401(k) with employer matching, 16 weeks paid parental leave, wellness benefits, commuter benefits match, paid time off and paid sick leave, medical/dental/vision, 11 paid holidays, disability and basic life insurance, family-forming assistance, mental health program, etc. Also PTO details: flexible PTO/vacation plus 80 hours paid sick time per year for salaried roles. Also for hourly roles details but role is salaried (Senior Manager). So we can include the salaried PTO details. We must not include boilerplate like "DoorDash cares about you..." but that is part of benefits description; we can keep benefits list but maybe trim the fluff. However we must preserve ALL substantive information; we cannot remove details that are substantive. The benefits paragraph includes many details; we should keep them. We also need to remove duplicated lines, cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The "About DoorDash" mission statement maybe considered boilerplate but it's substantive about company; but could be considered not needed for the role. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The About DoorDash section is not those; it's about company mission. Might be okay to keep but could be considered filler. However we need to preserve ALL substantive information; if we remove it, we might be removing substantive info about company mission. But the instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine About DoorDash into About the Team? Not exactly. Might be safer to include a section "About DoorDash" but that may be thin. However we could incorporate its content into About the Team? The About The Team already describes the Tax Technology team; the About DoorDash is broader company mission. Could be considered separate but maybe not needed. The instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we should avoid creating a section just for a short paragraph that could be merged elsewhere. Perhaps we can include a brief paragraph under About the Role or as a separate

    without heading? But headings only for sections; we can have

    without heading? The instruction says use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid having

    outside headings, but likely they expect sections with headings. We could have a

    for the company mission under a heading "About DoorDash". That would be a thin section but maybe acceptable. However we could combine it into About the Team as a brief note: The Tax Technology team is part of DoorDash, which has mission... But that would be adding info not originally there about the team. Might be okay but risk of altering. Better to keep About DoorDash as its own section with heading

    About DoorDash

    and a

    . That's a section but maybe thin. However the instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones; but we already have many sections: About the Team, About the Role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Compensation, Benefits, maybe About DoorDash. That's 7 sections; not too many. Could be okay. We must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. Pay is stated (range). Benefits is stated. Schedule not stated, so omit. We must not include headings with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. Now we need to extract lists. Responsibilities: from About The Role paragraph after "You will...". Let's parse: - Translate indirect tax requirements into things engineers can build, and you will own the single consolidated plan that tells Tax and Engineering leadership where the program actually stands. - Influence partner teams with your understanding of the problem and source of truth of a trusted plan. - You make it easy for partner teams to do the right thing. - This role owns the tax outcome of implementations— the requirements, the design judgment, and the technical calls that determine whether it works. - Requirements and design. Author tax requirements and acceptance criteria that engineers build against and that hold up under audit. Review design docs and push back where a design won't scale to the tax rules coming. - Scope and sequencing. Define what's in and out for each integration, own the critical path, and drive what ships when. When a team slips, know within a day what it means downstream — and bring options. - Roadmap influence. Get tax work prioritized onto eight other teams' roadmaps and defend it when it's bumped — making this a collaboration between the engineering, product teams and tax. - Launch and operational readiness. Define testing, monitoring, and rollout, set go/no-go and rollback criteria, and make sure each integration lands with runbooks, alerting, and a clear steady-state owner. - Risk. Own the risk register and escalate with a recommendation attached. Be the person who saw it coming. - Running the program. Maintain the integrated plan as the source of truth and keep the decision cadence across Tax, Product, Engineering, and Data — reporting status to senior leadership in a format they trust. Also the "You're excited about this opportunity because you will…" bullet points: - Have visibility across the entire business, solving genuinely complex problems across many domains with both engineering and non-engineering partners. - Own an end-to-end program rather than a slice of one, with real consequences and real scope. - Work closely with engineers to shape design decisions, not just receive them. - Build the connective tissue for a program that spans three brands and multiple jurisdictions. - Be supported by Anthropics Claude suite of tooling and an extensive tax data mart to speed up analysis, planning, and daily operations. - Grow a team and a function that is still being defined. And "We're excited about you because…" bullet points (qualifications): - 8+ years in a corporate tax department, public accounting, or technology consulting - Global or multi-country indirect tax implementation experience, and familiarity with non-US indirect tax regimes. - Hands-on experience implementing Marketplace Facilitator laws across jurisdictions. - Program or project management experience across multiple dependent engineering teams, including building plans, milestones, and dependency maps, and driving them to completion. - Direct engagement with engineering teams on product development, with working knowledge of software development processes. You can read a technical design document and tell whether it will hold. - Experience defining testing and monitoring strategies for systems where correctness matters. - Strong analytical skills, high organization, and real attention to detail, with the ability to hold both the big picture and the specifics. - Comfort operating without formal authority in a highly collaborative, multi-stakeholder environment. You are not afraid to challenge the status quo, and you do it in a way that keeps partners on your side. We need to decide where to put these. Could combine "You're excited about..." and "We're excited about you because..." into Requirements or Qualifications. The instruction says use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we could have a Requirements section for the "We're excited about you because…" (qualifications). And maybe a Skills section for the "You're excited about this opportunity because you will…" (what you'll get). But those are more about what you'll get/experience, not skills. Could treat as "What you'll get" but not in list of headings. Perhaps we can put them under a section "What you'll get" but not allowed heading? The instruction only gave examples; we could still use

    for any section heading, but better to stick to given examples. However we could use "Qualifications" for the bullet list of required experience, and maybe "Responsibilities" for the role duties. The "You're excited about..." could be placed under a section "About the role" as prose. But we already have About the role paragraph; we could incorporate those bullet points as part of About the role description (maybe as a
      ). That would preserve info. Thus structure:

      About the Team

      ...

      About the Role

      ...

        (list of responsibilities) maybe separate heading Responsibilities? But we already have About the role; we could add a

        Responsibilities

        after About the role. The instruction says use

        for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements...). So we can have both About the role and Responsibilities headings. Thus:

        About the Team

        ...

        About the Role

        ...

        Responsibilities

          ...

        Requirements

          ...

        Compensation

        ...

        Benefits

          ...
        We should not include Schedule. Now we need to ensure we preserve all substantive information. Let's extract About the Team paragraph exactly: "About The Team The Tax Technology team owns the technology behind what happens on our platform. We build and run the systems that calculate indirect tax on every transaction — and we go well beyond that. We build the automations and implementations the direct tax team relies on, we support data operations across the tax function, and we develop the tooling and efficiencies that make the wider Tax Force faster. We are a global team spanning three brands: DoorDash, Wolt, and Deliveroo. That reach also makes us one of the most dependency-heavy systems in the company. More than eight separate billing domains feed into our tax services, each with its own architecture, roadmap, and engineering team — and all of them have to work. Getting this right is not optional. Tax has to be correct on every order, the first time. Getting it wrong means incorrect charges to real customers, restatement risk,
