We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the team + role? The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to decide which sections are present. The posting includes: "About the team + role" (maybe treat as About the role). Then "What You’ll Do" (Responsibilities). Then "What You Bring" (Requirements/Qualifications/Skills). Then "What We Offer" (Benefits). Also includes base pay range details (Pay). Also schedule: "in-person attendance expected at least 3 days per week." That's schedule info. So we need sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Possibly also Qualifications but we can combine Requirements. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate: mission statement at top? The first paragraph: "Join us in building the future of finance..." That's marketing but still substantive? It's not a section heading; we can keep as

before sections? The instruction: output only HTML fragment, no extra. We can include that as a

before sections. Also "At Robinhood, we believe..." is part of About the team + role? Might be part of About the role. We'll incorporate. We need to ensure we don't create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to use

  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we need to convert bullet points into lists. Let's extract content. First paragraph: "Join us in building the future of finance. Our mission is to democratize finance for all. An estimated $124 trillion of assets will be inherited by younger generations in the next two decades. The largest transfer of wealth in human history. If you’re ready to be at the epicenter of this historic cultural and financial shift, keep reading." Second paragraph: "About the team + role We are building an elite team, applying frontier technologies to the world’s biggest financial problems. We’re looking for thoughtful problem-solvers and builders who want to make a meaningful contribution. Robinhood is a place where people take ownership of their work and help improve financial access for all. We operate with high standards, clear accountability, and a strong focus on security and ethics in everything we build! The Red Team’s mission is to identify and reduce real-world security risks across Robinhood by simulating adversary behavior and testing defenses. As a Staff Offensive Security Engineer, you will plan and execute security assessments across applications, infrastructure, and physical environments, and partner closely with engineering and security teams to strengthen detection and response capabilities. You will help prioritize risk, contribute to remediation efforts, and develop tools and techniques that improve how we test and secure our systems. Your work will directly support the safety and reliability of products used by millions of customers. This role is based in our Bellevue, WA, New York, NY, Denver, CO or Menlo Park, CA office(s), with in-person attendance expected at least 3 days per week. At Robinhood, we believe in the power of in-person work to accelerate progress, spark innovation, and strengthen community. Our office experience is intentional, energizing, and designed to fully support high-performing teams." Then "What You’ll Do" list bullet points. Then "What You Bring" list bullet points. Then "What We Offer" list bullet points. Then base pay range details. We need sections:

    About the role

    -> include the paragraphs about team+role, maybe also the mission statement? Could include mission as part of About the role.

    Responsibilities

    -> list of What You’ll Do.

    Requirements

    -> list of What You Bring (maybe split into Requirements and Skills? But we can just put all under Requirements). Could also have Skills but not needed.

    Benefits

    -> list of What We Offer.

    Pay

    -> base pay range details.

    Schedule

    -> in-person attendance expected at least 3 days per week. We must not repeat job title. Good. We need to preserve all substantive info. Ensure we don't lose any bullet points.

That's part of compensation but we already have Pay section; we can include that sentence in Pay section. Pay section: base pay range details: - Base pay for the successful applicant will depend on a variety of job-related factors, which may include education, training, experience, location, business needs, or market demands. - The expected base pay range for this role is based on the location where the work will be performed and is aligned to one of 3 compensation zones. - For other locations not listed, compensation can be discussed with your recruiter during the interview process. - Base Pay Range Zone 1 (Menlo Park, CA; New York, NY; Bellevue, WA; Washington, DC) $187,000—$220,000 USD - Zone 2 (Denver, CO; Westlake, TX; Chicago, IL) $165,000—$194,000 USD - Zone 3 (Lake Mary, FL; Clearwater, FL; Gainesville, FL) $146,000—$172,000 USD - Click here to learn more about our Total Rewards, which vary by region and entity. We should keep that as prose maybe

    or

      . Since it's a list, we can use
      • . However the instruction: use
        • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Pay is not explicitly listed but could be considered list. Safer to use

          for prose. But we have multiple sentences; we could keep as

          . However the instruction says use

          • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Pay is not duties/requirements/benefits, so we can use

            . We'll include the pay details in a

            . Schedule: "This role is based in our Bellevue, WA, New York, NY, Denver, CO or Menlo Park, CA office(s), with in-person attendance expected at least 3 days per week." Also earlier: "At Robinhood, we believe in the power of in-person work to accelerate progress, spark innovation, and strengthen community. Our office experience is intentional, energizing, and designed to fully support high-performing teams." That's also schedule/location info. We'll combine. We'll put schedule section with that sentence. Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no markdown fences. Let's craft. Start with introductory paragraph(s) before sections? The instruction didn't forbid having

            before sections. We'll include the mission/intro as a

            . Thus:

            Join us in building the future of finance. Our mission is to democratize finance for all. An estimated $124 trillion of assets will be inherited by younger generations in the next two decades. The largest transfer of wealth in human history. If you’re ready to be at the epicenter of this historic cultural and financial shift, keep reading.

            Then

            About the role

            then a

            containing the About the team + role paragraph(s). We'll combine the two paragraphs: "About the team + role We are building an elite team..." and the later "At Robinhood, we believe..." maybe belongs to schedule but we already used schedule separate. Actually the "At Robinhood, we believe..." is about in-person work; could be schedule. We'll keep it in schedule. Thus About the role paragraph: "We are building an elite team, applying frontier technologies to the world’s biggest financial problems. We’re looking for thoughtful problem-solvers and builders who want to make a meaningful contribution. Robinhood is a place where people take ownership of their work and help improve financial access for all.

But we moved schedule line to schedule section; maybe we should keep location line in About the role and schedule separate just the attendance expectation. However the location line includes office(s
