We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting and extract sections.
The posting includes:
- Intro paragraph: "We are looking for a Senior R&D Engineer to join our Research & Development team at Bluefors in Syracuse, NY. In this role, you will contribute to the design, development, and testing of advanced cryogenic systems..." This is about the role.
- Then "Interested? Keep reading! Your responsibilities will include designing and developing cryogenic products..." This is responsibilities.
- Then list of responsibilities bullet-like sentences.
- Then "We are looking for a candidate with a Master's degree..." This is qualifications/requirements.
- Then "You should have a minimum of three years..." etc.
- Then "We also appreciate candidates who possess experience with cryogenic system prototyping..." etc.
- Then "We offer you an interesting, challenging, and responsible position, along with the support of a highly skilled and growing organization." This is about benefits? Actually it's more about the role.
- Then "We foster a multicultural work environment..." etc.
- Then "We offer a generous benefits package including health, dental, vision, 401(k), long- and short-term disability, life insurance, training, tuition reimbursement, and Paid Time Off (PTO)." That's benefits.
- Then "Location: Syracuse, NY Salary Range Level I - $68K - $98K Level II - $98K - $128K" That's pay and location.
- Then "Main Responsibilities Include The Following" with bullet list.
- Then "What We Expect From You" list.
- Then "We Also Appreciate" list.
- Then Physical Demands, Work Environment, etc. Those may be considered as part of requirements or maybe separate sections? The instruction: Use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can combine some.
We need to decide which sections to include based on content.
We have:
- About the role: intro paragraph(s) describing role, mission, etc.
- Responsibilities: detailed list of duties.
- Requirements/Qualifications: education, experience, skills.
- Skills: maybe separate but can be part of qualifications.
- Benefits: benefits package.
- Pay: salary range.
- Schedule: not mentioned; no schedule info, so omit.
We should not include sections with placeholder text.
We need to preserve all substantive info; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can group them under appropriate headings.
We must not repeat job title as heading.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions.
We need to remove duplicated lines: there are some repeated responsibilities (the earlier paragraph and later "Main Responsibilities Include The Following").
We need to ensure we don't lose any substantive info.
Let's extract substantive content:
Intro:

Now we need to output HTML fragment with
headings and - for lists,
for prose.
We must not include markdown fences.
We'll produce something like:
About the role
... intro paragraph ...
... additional description about opportunity, multicultural environment, professional growth ...
Location: Syracuse, NY
Responsibilities
- ... each responsibility ...
Requirements
... combine education, experience, skills, etc. Could also split into Qualifications and Skills but we can keep one Requirements section that includes all.
but we have allowed headings: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We could split into Qualifications (education, experience) and Skills (technical skills, soft skills). But we need to avoid thin sections. However we have enough content for each.
Let's decide:
