We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role (maybe intro), Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe Required Qualifications), Preferred Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule? The posting includes compensation range, remote role, benefits description. No explicit schedule. So we include sections for which there is real content: About the role (intro paragraph), Responsibilities (the "What You’ll Do" bullet list), Requirements (Required Qualifications), Preferred Qualifications, Benefits (the "Why You’ll Like Working for DigitalOcean" includes benefits, career development, well-being, rewards), Pay (Compensation Range), maybe Schedule not present so omit. Also maybe "Remote role" could be part of Pay or a note; but we can include location info in a short paragraph under About the role or separate? The instruction: do not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. So we can include remote role note in a paragraph. We must not repeat job title as heading. Use

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

    for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The posting includes EEO statement and Application Limit etc. Those are boilerplate; we should remove them. Also "DigitalOcean is an equal-opportunity employer..." remove. Also "Application Limit: You may apply..." remove. We need to keep substantive content: intro paragraphs, responsibilities bullet list, required qualifications bullet list, preferred qualifications bullet list, compensation range, benefits description (why you'll like working for DigitalOcean includes career development, well-being, rewards, remote role). Also maybe mention "We innovate with purpose..." etc. We need to format as HTML fragment only. Let's extract sections: About the role: The first paragraph(s) before "What You’ll Do". The intro: "Dive in and do the best work of your career at DigitalOcean. Journey alongside a strong community of top talent who are relentless in their drive to build the simplest scalable cloud. If you have a growth mindset, naturally like to think big and bold, and are energized by the fast-paced environment of a true industry disruptor, you’ll find your place here. We value winning together—while learning, having fun, and making a profound difference for the dreamers and builders in the world. We’re looking for a Senior Product Security Engineer who is passionate about partnering with engineers to assess the security risk of new products and features. As a member of the Secure Design team, you will report to the Manager of Secure Design. Our Secure Design team enables DigitalOcean to build secure-by-design products. We leverage strong relationships with both product teams and the rest of security engineering to be successful. Our scope is primarily focused on reviewing early-stage decisions, helping develop threat models, scaling impact via automation, curating security patterns, authoring security guidance, training, and championing security initiatives. You will collaborate with other security teams and the rest of DigitalOcean to guide secure architecture design, reduce security risk in the organization, and empower engineers to make informed security decisions. Security at DO means solving incredibly complex problems at a high-scale that have real impact for our customers, our products, and the larger internet community." That's a lot but we can keep as prose in

    . Might be long but okay. Responsibilities: "What You’ll Do" bullet list with percentages. We need to preserve detail. The bullet list includes: - Threat model application designs and solutions and provide security risk assessments (70%) - Provide deep technical expertise in software and network architecture during holistic assessments of security layers across infrastructure, application, people, and process. - Collaborate with product managers, designers, and engineers to threat model and architect secure and resilient systems. - Identify the trade-offs of different solutions and recommend the efficient design to achieve both functional goals and security requirements. - Provide hands-on remediation guidance to development teams. - Cultivate and promote a security culture (20%) - Champion an internal security culture (developer training, internal CTFs, etc.). - Mentor software engineering teams in security best practices. - Help oversee our vulnerability management program (we call it security debt). - Help DigitalOcean engineers understand how security events impact them. Do they need to worry about the next Log4j CVE? How does RetBleed impact DigitalOcean’s fleet? - Build security tooling and automations to help scale the Product Security team's practices (10%) - Use software architecture and coding patterns to reduce the impact of security issues. - Drive architecture, patterns, and processes across engineering that make security the easiest path. - Integrate custom security tooling into engineering workflows. We need to represent as

        . That's fine. Requirements: "Required Qualifications" bullet list: - Experience leading architectural changes or complex cross team efforts to mitigate security vulnerabilities. - Ability to clearly communicate security topics and vulnerability classes (e.g. OWASP Top Ten) and ability to provide actionable direction to product teams. - A record of partnering with internal engineering teams to tackle security problems across an entire stack with empathy and creativity. Engineering teams are our partners, not our adversaries. - Working knowledge of modern development concepts (virtualized environments, containerization, continuous integration + delivery). Preferred Qualifications bullet list: - 3+ years experience guiding software teams on secure architecture design. - Experience building or reviewing threat models and ability to craft malicious user, attacker, and abuse/misuse cases. - Working knowledge of hardware and software supply chain security. - Familiarity with object oriented and functional programming concepts, particularly with languages such as Go, JavaScript, Rust, or C. Compensation: "Compensation Range $140,800 - $176,000This is a remote role JR: 2026-8010". We need to include compensation range and remote role note. We'll put in a

        under Pay section: "Compensation range: $140,800 - $176,000. This is a remote role." Possibly also include the JR number? It's minor metadata; we can fold into short

        or drop. Probably drop JR number as it's not substantive. Keep remote role note. Benefits: The "Why You’ll Like Working for DigitalOcean" section includes several paragraphs: innovate with purpose, career development, well-being, rewards. We need to capture all substantive info. Let's extract: - We innovate with purpose. You’ll be a part of a cutting-edge technology company with an upward trajectory, who are proud to simplify cloud and AI so builders can spend more time creating software that changes the world. As a member of the team, you will be a Shark who thinks big, bold, and scrappy, like an owner with a bias for action and a powerful sense of responsibility for customers, products, employees, and decisions. - We prioritize career development. At DO, you’ll do the best work of your career. You will work with some of the smartest and most interesting people in the industry. We are a high-performance organization that will always challenge you to think big. Our organizational development team will provide you with resources to ensure you keep growing. We provide employees with reimbursement for relevant conferences, training, and education. All employees have access to LinkedIn Learning's 10,000+ courses to support their continued growth and development. - We care about your well-being. Regardless of your location, we will provide you with a competitive array of benefits to support you from our Employee Assistance Program to Local Employee Meetups to flexible time off policy, to name a few. While the philosophy around our benefits is the same worldwide, specific benefits may vary based on local regulations and preferences. - We reward our employees. The salary range for this position is based on market data, relevant years of experience, and skills. You may qualify for a bonus in addition to base salary; bonus amounts are determined based on company and individual performance. We also provide equity compensation to eligible employees, including equity grants upon hire and the option to participate in our Employee Stock Purchase Program. We should not repeat compensation range again (already in Pay). But we can keep the reward paragraph but maybe avoid duplication. However the instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep that reward paragraph but we could note that salary range already mentioned; but it's still substantive. We could keep it but maybe it's okay to repeat? It's not duplicate heading but content. It's okay. We should remove EEO statement and Application Limit. Now construct HTML:
