We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes intro paragraphs about Disney Entertainment and ESPN Product & Technology, reasons why you'd love working here, etc. We need to use for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must include sections only when posting has real specific content. We need to preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate like cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. There's none obvious. Also remove duplicated lines and application instructions (none). We need to decide sections.
Content:
- Intro: "Technology is at the heart of Disney’s past, present, and future. Disney Entertainment and ESPN Product & Technology is a global organization..." This is about the role? Could be "About the role" or "About the team". Use
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must include sections only when posting has real specific content. We need to preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate like cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. There's none obvious. Also remove duplicated lines and application instructions (none). We need to decide sections.
Content:
- Intro: "Technology is at the heart of Disney’s past, present, and future. Disney Entertainment and ESPN Product & Technology is a global organization..." This is about the role? Could be "About the role" or "About the team". Use About the role
with paragraphs.
- Then "Here are a few reasons why we think you’d love working here:" bullet list? It's prose with bullet-like sentences. Could be part of About the role or separate "Why Disney"? Not a required heading; we can keep as part of About the role.
- Then "Job Summary ..." That's also about role.
- Then "Responsibilities" heading present in text. So we need Responsibilities
with - items.
- Then "Basic Qualifications" heading present. Could map to Requirements or Qualifications. Use
Qualifications
maybe. The instruction says use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have Basic Qualifications; we can put under Qualifications.
- Also there is pay range: "The hiring range for this position in Bristol, CT is $207,400 - $278,100 per year." plus bonus etc. So we need Pay section.
- Benefits: mention "full range of medical, financial, and/or other benefits". So we can include Benefits section.
- Schedule: not mentioned. So omit.
- Skills: maybe we can extract from qualifications: Expert ability to facilitate communication, expertise in Agile/Waterfall, strong organizational skills, exceptional interpersonal and communication skills, evidence of planning, delivery, problem-solving, superb written/verbal communication, presentation skills, meeting facilitation, BA/BS or equivalent, MBA preferred. Could be Skills section. But we already have Qualifications; we could split: Qualifications for education/experience, Skills for abilities. However instruction: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. We could combine qualifications and skills into one Qualifications section. But we have separate headings allowed; we can include both if content is substantive. Let's decide: We'll have About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications (includes basic qualifications and skills), Benefits, Pay.
We must not invent or summarize away detail. Must preserve all substantive info. So we need to include all details from the posting.
Let's extract content:
