We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About Us? Actually the posting includes "About Us" and "Our Team". The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says we should not repeat the job title as a heading. It says include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. We need to decide which sections to include based on content.
We have content: About Us (mission, description). Our Team (description). The Role (description). Your Day-to-Day (list of duties). About You (requirements/qualifications). Bonus Points (additional qualifications). Salary (pay). Additional Details: Benefits, Work from Home Equipment, Paid Time Off, Personal and Professional Development, Location, Hours.
We need to map to headings: About the role? Actually we have "The Role" which is description of role. Could map to "About the role". Responsibilities: we have "Your Day-to-Day" which is duties. Requirements/Qualifications: "About You" plus maybe "Bonus Points". Skills: maybe not separate; we could combine. Benefits: we have benefits details. Pay: we have salary range. Schedule: we have Hours (core meeting hours). Also Location maybe not a standard heading; but we could include as a paragraph under maybe "Location" but not a heading not in list; but instruction says use those headings for sections; we could still add other headings? It says use

It says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests those as examples. Probably we should stick to those headings where applicable. Location could be included under a paragraph maybe not as heading. Hours could be under Schedule.
We need to remove boilerplate: security warning, EEO, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, application instructions.
We need to preserve all substantive information.
Let's extract substantive content:

We need to output HTML fragment with headings for sections we include.
Potential sections:
- About the role (could combine About Us + Our Team + The Role? Actually "About the role" likely refers to role description. But we also have About Us and Our Team which are company info. Could we put them under "About the role"? Not ideal. Maybe we create separate sections: "About Us" and "Our Team" but those aren't in the list. However instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings but suggests those as examples. Safer to stick to those headings. We could incorporate About Us and Our Team into a brief paragraph under "About the role" or maybe under a generic "About the company" but not listed. Could we omit them? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information. So we need to include that info somewhere. We could put it under a heading like "About the company" but that's not in the list; but maybe it's okay as long as we use . The instruction didn't say we cannot use other headings, just gave examples. So we can use for any section heading we need, but we should follow the pattern. Probably acceptable to use headings like "About Us", "Our Team", "About the role", "Responsibilities", "Requirements", "Qualifications", "Benefits", "Pay", "Schedule". We'll include those.
We must not repeat the job title as a heading. The job title is not explicitly given but likely "Data Platform QA Engineer". Not present as heading.
We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings.
We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have salary range, so Pay section is valid.
We must not create Benefits section unless posting actually states them; we have benefits details, so yes.
Schedule: we have core meeting hours, so yes.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown.
We'll structure:

We also have Location and Work from Home Equipment, Paid Time Off, Personal and Professional Development. Those could be under Benefits? Or we could add sections like "Work Arrangements", "Time Off", "Professional Development". But not in list. However we need to preserve all substantive info. Could incorporate them under Benefits as sub-items? Might be okay to add extra sections like "Work Arrangements", "Time Off", "Professional Development". The instruction didn't forbid extra headings, just gave examples. So we can add. We'll add:Work Arrangements
Remote-first (U.S. excluding territories); occasional travel optional; MacBook Pro provided; $2,000 home office stipend.
Time Off
Four weeks PTO first year; twelve weeks fully paid parental leave for new parents.
Professional Development
Up to $5,000 per year for learning; LinkedIn Learning subscription; BetterUp coaching access.
We also have Location detail: remote-first, can work anywhere in US excluding territories; occasional travel; SF Bay Area or Providence RI offices optional. Could include in Work Arrangements. Now ensure we removed boilerplate: security warning
