Senior Software Engineer - Automation
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. We need to include sections only if posting has real specific content. The posting includes: "What You Can Expect In This Role" (that's like About the role). Then "What You'll Do In This Role" (Responsibilities). Then "Strong Experience With Several Of The Following" (Skills/Qualifications). Then "Experience With, Or Demonstrated Ability To Quickly Learn" (maybe also Skills). Then "What We're Looking For" (Qualifications/Requirements). Then "Other Requirements" (maybe Requirements). Then salary range (Pay). Then benefits description (Benefits). Also schedule? Not mentioned except "Must be on call during scheduled times and may be required to work for extended periods at night and on weekends". That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For prose, use
. We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Work Authorization/Sponsorship", "Additional Information", "Equal Opportunity Employer", ADA, E-Verify, Policy for External Search Firms, etc. Also remove "What you can expect when you join Sammons Financial Group" maybe that's benefits but we need to keep benefits content. Actually that paragraph is benefits. We'll keep that.
We need to avoid headings with filler like "Pay" if not specific; but we have salary range specific numbers, so include Pay.
Schedule: we have mention of on call, extended periods night/weekends. That's specific enough.
Benefits: we have comprehensive health coverage etc. Keep.
Now structure:
About the role
-> content from "What You Can Expect In This Role". That's a paragraph.
Responsibilities
-> content from "What You'll Do In This Role". That's a long list of duties; we should turn into - items. Need to split each sentence or bullet? The text is a paragraph with many sentences separated by periods. We can split into list items each representing a duty. Must preserve all info; we can break into separate
- for each sentence. Ensure we don't lose any detail.
Then
Skills
maybe combine "Strong Experience With Several Of The Following" and "Experience With, Or Demonstrated Ability To Quickly Learn". Could be one Skills section with list.
Then Qualifications
from "What We're Looking For" (College Degree, 8 years experience, etc.) plus maybe "Other Requirements" (Criminal background check). Could combine.
Then Pay
-> salary range.
Then Benefits
-> benefits paragraph.
Then Schedule
-> on call etc.
We must not include headings with no content.
Now produce HTML only.
Let's extract text.
About the role:
"What You Can Expect In This Role Under general direction, formulates and defines system scope and objectives. Devises or modifies procedures to solve highly complex problems considering computer equipment capacity and limitations, operating time and form of desired results. Prepares detailed specifications to write programs. Designs, codes, tests, debugs, documents and maintains those programs. Competent to work on and responsible for nearly all phases of applications systems analysis and programming projects. Regularly provides guidance and training to less experienced analysts/programmers."
We'll keep as .
Responsibilities: "What You'll Do In This Role Collaborate with analysts, designers, and programmers in conceptualizing and development of new software programs, applications and automated test scripts. Perform technical tasks, detailed analyses, and interpretation of technical problems requiring expertise and/or specialized knowledge in a systematic manner; apply subject matter expertise unique to the discipline.

Participate in other initiatives and/or projects as necessary"
We need to split into list items. Each sentence ends with period. Some sentences have semicolons; we can keep as one item.
We'll produce
- for each sentence.
Now Skills: "Strong Experience With Several Of The Following JavaScript Node.js REST APIs and JSON SQL and relational databases Git/source control CI/CD Automated unit, integration, API, regression, and end-to-end testing Modern software development and design practices Application and infrastructure troubleshooting Cloud-native application environments Identifying and automating repetitive operational, testing, and analyst-driven processes Experience With, Or Demonstrated Ability To Quickly Learn Playwright or comparable browser automation technologies Docker Kubernetes Experience with one or more of the following is desirable: C# / .NET MongoDB or other NoSQL databases Microsoft Azure or other cloud platforms Azure DevOps Event-driven or distributed architectures Performance and load testing Contract testing Observability, logging, metrics, and distributed tracing Workflow and process automation LLM APIs, structured outputs, tool calling, RAG, MCP, or agentic workflows AI evaluation, monitoring, guardrails, and human-in-the-loop design AI-enabled application development Automating complex business processes in regulated or financial-services environments"
We can treat as list items separated by line breaks? The text is a paragraph with commas. Better to split by line breaks? There are no explicit line breaks. Could treat each major bullet as separated by double spaces? Not reliable. Perhaps we keep as a single
but rule says use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Skills is a list; we should make
- . We can split by commas? Might be messy but we can approximate: each technology group separated by line breaks in original? Actually original had line breaks? In the posting it's likely bullet list but we got as paragraph. We'll split by commas and "and". Might be too granular. Perhaps we keep as
but risk violating rule. The rule: "Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits". Skills is a list of requirements/skills, so should be list. We'll create items by splitting on line breaks if we can infer. Let's manually split logical groups:
- JavaScript
- Node.js
- REST APIs and JSON
- SQL and relational databases
- Git/source control
- CI/CD
- Automated unit, integration, API, regression, and end-to-end testing
- Modern software development and design practices
- Application and infrastructure troubleshooting
- Cloud-native application environments
- Identifying and automating repetitive operational, testing, and analyst-driven processes
- Playwright or comparable browser automation technologies
- Docker
- Kubernetes
- C# / .NET
- MongoDB or other NoSQL databases
- Microsoft Azure or other cloud platforms
- Azure DevOps
- Event-driven or distributed architectures
- Performance and load testing
- Contract testing
- Observability, logging, metrics, and distributed tracing
- Workflow and process automation
- LLM APIs, structured outputs, tool calling, RAG, MCP, or agentic workflows
- AI evaluation, monitoring, guardrails, and human-in-the-loop design
- AI-enabled application development
- Automating complex business processes in regulated or financial-services environments
That seems reasonable.
