We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes "About Mainspring" (company description) and "Job Overview", "What You Will Do", "What We Are Looking For" (with Minimum Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications), and then some other text about flexibility, EEO, compensation, benefits, remote role, etc. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, scam warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also we must not repeat job title as heading. Use

for section headings: e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to map content to these headings appropriately. We need to decide which sections to include based on actual content. - About the role: Could be "Job Overview" or "About Mainspring"? The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can use those exact headings if content matches. We have: - About Mainspring (company description) maybe fits "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is more about the job, but we could treat "About Mainspring" as "About the role"? Might be okay. Or we could combine company description into a

under "About the role". The instruction: do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. So we can have

About the role

then a paragraph describing the role and company. - Responsibilities: from "What You Will Do" bullet points. - Requirements: from "What We Are Looking For" Minimum Qualifications (maybe also Preferred Qualifications). Could split into Requirements and Qualifications? The instruction list includes Requirements and Qualifications separate. We could put Minimum Qualifications under Requirements, and Preferred Qualifications under Qualifications. - Skills: maybe not explicitly listed; but we could extract skills from responsibilities? However we should only include a section if posting has real, specific content. There's no explicit "Skills" section; but we could infer from "Behavioral & Relationship Attributes" etc. Might be considered skills. But safer to omit Skills if not explicit. - Benefits: The posting mentions "Along with the base salary, Mainspring offers pre-IPO stock options + benefits." Also "This is a remote role with a 100% target bonus." Also mentions compensation and benefits information based on estimate. So we have some benefits info: pre-IPO stock options, benefits (unspecified), 100% target bonus, remote role. That's enough for Benefits section. - Pay: The posting mentions salary range? Not explicitly given. It says "This compensation and benefits information is based on Mainspring Energy's estimate as of the date of publication and may be modified in the future. We generally do not negotiate on salary once we have made an offer. The level of pay within the range will depend on a variety of job-related factors...". No actual numbers. So we should not create Pay section because no specific pay info. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Benefits we have some statements (pre-IPO stock options + benefits, 100% target bonus, remote). So Benefits is okay. Pay we do not have specific numbers or range, so omit. - Schedule: Not mentioned besides remote role and travel up to 50%. No explicit schedule (full-time, part-time). Could infer full-time but not stated. Better to omit Schedule. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits. We need to use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can format them. We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. We need to remove lines like "In more traditional words, Mainspring Energy, Inc is an Equal Opportunity Employer..." etc. Also remove "Studies have shown that some people are less likely to apply..." maybe that's not boilerplate but it's encouraging applicants; it's substantive? It's about encouraging applications; could be considered part of the posting but not essential? It's not about job duties. Might be considered boilerplate? It's a statement encouraging applicants; could be kept? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. That statement is not EEO but it's about encouraging applications; it's not a legal statement. Might be okay to keep but it's somewhat fluff. However we need to preserve ALL substantive information; that statement is substantive? It's encouraging applications; maybe we can keep it as a paragraph under Qualifications or something. But it's not a requirement. Might be okay to keep. We also need to remove duplicated lines: there may be duplicates like "Mainspring can sometimes be flexible enough to shift responsibilities for the right person, or otherwise identify open or upcoming roles that may better fit your professional background." That's substantive. We need to preserve all substantive info: company description, job overview, responsibilities, qualifications (minimum and preferred), behavioral attributes, etc., plus the flexibility note, EEO statement (maybe we should remove EEO as per instruction). Actually instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. So we must remove the EEO paragraph. Also remove the compensation and benefits information based on estimate? That's not EEO; it's about compensation. We can keep that as part of Benefits? It mentions compensation and benefits information is based on estimate; we can keep that as a note under Benefits. We also need to remove "We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools..." that's maybe legal? It's about hiring process; not EEO but could be considered boilerplate? It's not listed; but it's about process. Might be considered part of hiring process; not explicitly to remove. However it's somewhat generic; but we could keep. We also need to remove duplicated lines: there may be duplicate sentences about "Mainspring can sometimes be flexible enough..." etc. Let's extract the substantive content: Company description: "About Mainspring Mainspring Energy manufactures and delivers fuel-flexible, low-emissions local power solutions that rapidly add new capacity and deliver reliable, affordable, and sustainable electric power.
