Senior/Principal Systems Information Systems Architect, Onsite
for section headings (About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)
2. Use - for lists of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose
3. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading
4. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it
5. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail
6. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions
7. Include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text
8. Never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them
9. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones
10. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences
Let me analyze the job posting content:
1. "About Sandia" - company description, benefits overview
2. "What Your Job Will Be Like" - role description
3. "On Any Given Day, You May Be Called To" - responsibilities/duties
4. "Salary Range" - pay information
5. "Qualifications We Require" - required qualifications
6. "Qualifications We Desire" - desired qualifications
7. "Skills & Knowledge" - skills list
8. "About Our Team" - team/department description
9. "Posting Duration" - posting info
10. "Security Clearance" - clearance requirements
11. "Eeo" - EEO statement (boilerplate, should remove)
12. "NNSA Requirements For MedPEDs" - specific requirement
13. "Job ID: 699492 Job Family: IT Regular/Temporary Position: R Full/Part-Time Status: F" - metadata
I need to identify which sections have real, specific content and map them to appropriate headings.
Let me structure:
- About the role: Could combine "What Your Job Will Be Like" and "About Our Team"
- Responsibilities: "On Any Given Day, You May Be Called To"
- Requirements: "Qualifications We Require"
- Qualifications: "Qualifications We Desire" (desired qualifications)
- Skills: "Skills & Knowledge"
- Pay: "Salary Range" - has specific range
- Schedule: The posting mentions flexible work arrangements (9/80, 4/10, part-time, telecommuting) in the About Sandia section
- Benefits: The About Sandia section mentions benefits but says "These benefits vary by job classification" - might be too generic, but there is some specific info
I should include sections only when there's real content. Let me check each:
1. About the role: Yes, has substantive description
2. Responsibilities: Yes, detailed list
3. Requirements: Yes, specific required qualifications
4. Qualifications: Yes, desired qualifications listed
5. Skills: Yes, extensive skills list
6. Pay: Yes, specific salary range $102,400 - $199,700
7. Schedule: Yes, mentions flexible work arrangements including 9/80, 4/10, part-time, telecommuting
8. Benefits: The About Sandia section mentions "Generous vacation, strong medical and other benefits, competitive 401k, learning opportunities, relocation assistance and amenities aimed at creating a solid work/life balance" but also says "These benefits vary by job classification." This is somewhat specific but also generic. I'll include it since there's some detail.
I need to remove duplicates: "The Technical Systems Security Department (9246) is seeking an Information Systems Architect..." appears twice.
Also remove boilerplate: EEO, NNSA MedPEDs (though this is specific to the job), Posting Duration, Job ID metadata (fold into a short p or drop).
The Security Clearance section has specific requirements (DOE Q-level, US citizenship) - this could be part of Requirements or a separate section. Since it's a key requirement, I'll include it in Requirements or as a separate note.
Let me organize the HTML:
