We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The description includes "Job Description" paragraph. We need headings for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use

for each heading only if there is real content. We must not repeat job title. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, application instructions, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Must not create sections with placeholder/filler. Must include Pay and Schedule only if posting actually states them. Pay: there is compensation range info. So we need a Pay section. Schedule: there is hybrid work model, flexible work arrangements, work from anywhere up to 8 weeks per year. That's schedule info. So include Schedule section. Benefits: there is a "What’s in it For You?" with many benefits. So include Benefits section. Responsibilities: there is "Key Responsibilities" bullet list. So include Responsibilities. Requirements/Qualifications: there is "Required Qualifications" and "Preferred Qualifications". Could combine into Requirements and Qualifications? The instruction says use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We have technical experience etc. Could put Required Qualifications under Requirements, Preferred under Qualifications? Or combine. We need to preserve all substantive info. We'll create sections: About the role (intro paragraph), Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Skills maybe not separate; we could omit if no dedicated skills list. We'll include Skills maybe under Requirements? Better to follow instruction: use headings only when posting has real specific content. We have content for About the role (first paragraph). Responsibilities (list). Requirements (Required Qualifications). Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications). Benefits (What's in it For You?). Pay (compensation range). Schedule (hybrid work model etc). We'll not include Skills. Now format: Use

for each heading. Then content: For prose use

. For lists use

  • . Ensure we preserve all details. We need to strip boilerplate: EEO, legal, application instructions, "Apply today!", "Join us to build..." maybe part of About the role? The first paragraph includes "Join us to build, innovate, and make a lasting impact..." That's substantive? It's more of a call to action but still part of description. Might keep as part of About the role. However "Apply today!" is application instruction; we should remove. Also "Join us to build..." maybe okay as part of description. We'll keep the motivational sentences but remove explicit "Apply today!". Also remove "About Us" section? That's boilerplate about company; maybe considered not substantive to role? It's generic. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. "About Us" is not explicitly listed but could be considered boilerplate. However it's substantive about company mission; but maybe we should keep? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The "About Us" is substantive about the company, but not about the role. Might be considered boilerplate but not explicitly excluded. Safer to keep? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. "About Us" is not those. So we could keep it as part of About the role? But it's after responsibilities etc. Might be better to include a short paragraph about company under About the role? However the role description already includes "We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer – AI to join the CoCounsel International team...". The About Us section is separate. I'd keep it as part of About the role maybe as a separate paragraph. We need to ensure we don't include duplicated lines. There's some duplication: "Flex My Way is a set of supportive workplace policies..." appears twice? Actually appears once. There's also "In the United States, Thomson Reuters offers a comprehensive benefits package..." repeated later with more detail. We need to preserve all substantive info but not duplicate. We'll combine benefits info into one Benefits section, avoiding duplication. Let's extract content: Intro paragraph: "We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer – AI to join the CoCounsel International team and work closely with our Labs team to build new AI agents and adapt them for our international products and features.

If you're passionate about building AI agents and bringing new capabilities to life for legal professionals around the world, we'd love to hear from you.

We need to capture all benefits without duplication. Let's list: - Hybrid Work Model: flexible hybrid working environment for office-based roles while delivering a seamless experience that is digitally and physically connected. - Flexibility & Work-Life Balance: Flex My Way is a set of supportive workplace policies designed to help manage personal and professional responsibilities, whether caring for family, giving back to the community, or finding time to refresh and reset. This builds upon our flexible work arrangements, including work from anywhere for up to 8 weeks per year, empowering employees to achieve a better work-life balance. - Career Development and Growth: By fostering a culture of continuous learning and skill development, we prepare our talent to tackle tomorrow’s challenges and deliver real-world solutions.

We offer employees two paid volunteer days off annually and opportunities to get involved with pro-bono consulting projects and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives. - Making a Real-World Impact: ... (mission statement) maybe keep as part of Benefits? It's more about company mission. Could be part of About the role? Might be considered boilerplate but it's substantive about impact. We'll keep as part of Benefits? Might be redundant. We'll include as part of Benefits maybe as a paragraph. - In the United States, Thomson Reuters offers a comprehensive benefits package to our employees. Our benefit package includes market competitive health, dental, vision, disability, and life insurance programs, as well as a competitive 401k plan with company match. In addition, Thomson Reuters offers market leading work life benefits with competitive vacation, sick and safe paid time off, paid holidays (including two company mental health days off), parental leave, sabbatical leave. These benefits meet or exceeds the requirements of paid time off in accordance with any applicable state or municipal laws. Finally, Thomson Reuters offers the following additional benefits: optional hospital, accident and sickness insurance paid 100% by the employee; optional life and AD&D insurance paid 100% by the employee; Flexible Spending and Health Savings Accounts; fitness reimbursement; access to Employee Assistance Program; Group Legal Identity Theft Protection benefit paid 100% by employee; access to 529 Plan; commuter benefits; Adoption & Surrogacy Assistance; Tuition Reimbursement; and access to Employee Stock Purchase Plan. We need to avoid duplication: some items already mentioned earlier (flexible vacation, mental health days, tuition reimbursement). We'll combine. Pay: compensation range info: - Thomson Reuters complies with local laws that require upfront disclosure of the expected pay range for a position. The base compensation range varies across locations. Eligible office location(s) for this role include one or more of the following: New York City, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and/or Irvine, CA; McLean, VA; Washington, DC. The base compensation range for the role in any of those locations is $127,000 USD - $235,000 USD. For any eligible US locations, unless otherwise noted, the base compensation range for this role is $110,000 USD - $204,200 USD. Base pay is positioned within the range based on several factors including an individual’s knowledge, skills and experience with consideration given to internal equity. Base pay is one part of a comprehensive Total Reward program which also includes flexible and supportive benefits and other wellbeing programs. This role may also be eligible for an Annual Bonus based on a combination of enterprise and individual performance. Schedule: hybrid work model etc already captured in Benefits? But we need a Schedule section. The posting mentions hybrid work model, flexible work arrangements, work from anywhere up to 8 weeks per year. We'll put that in Schedule section. We must not repeat content; but we can mention schedule details there, and maybe not duplicate in Benefits. However Benefits already includes flexibility & work-life balance and hybrid work model. To avoid duplication, we could keep schedule details only in Schedule section, and not repeat in Benefits. But the Benefits section includes "Hybrid Work Model: ..." and "Flexibility & Work-Life Balance: ..." which are essentially schedule. If we move them to Schedule, we should remove from Benefits to avoid duplication.
