Senior Software Engineer, Backend
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose. Include sections only when posting has real specific content. Remove boilerplate like EEO, accommodation instructions, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Must preserve all substantive information.
Let's extract substantive content:
- Company description: "Bitsight is a cyber risk management leader transforming how companies manage exposure, performance, and risk for themselves and their third parties. Companies rely on Bitsight to prioritize their cybersecurity investments, build greater trust within their ecosystem, and reduce their chances of financial loss. Built on over a decade of technological innovation, its integrated solutions deliver value across enterprise security performance, digital supply chains, cyber insurance, and data analysis. We invented the cyber ratings industry in 2011 Over 3500 customers trust Bitsight Over 600 teammates are dispersed throughout Boston, Raleigh, New York, Lisbon, Singapore, and remote"
That's prose; could be under "About the company" but not required heading. The instruction says use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can include About the role (the paragraph after "About The Role").
We have "About The Role" paragraph: "We are looking for a highly experienced and collaborative backend engineer and team player to join one of our multicultural Engineering teams, focusing on our Third Party Risk Management business. As a Senior Software Engineer, you are known for thinking on your feet, learning quickly, and owning a problem to resolution. You enjoy solving complex problems while contributing with new ideas and techniques, leading to continuous improvement for the team. You enjoy close collaboration to find better ways to deliver great quality software in a high-trust Engineering culture. Apart from domain skills, what we truly value are strong generalists: those with the critical thinking skills to use a variety of technologies & languages and pick up new concepts when needed. We deliver well-tested, high-quality code in a continuous delivery environment."
That's prose.
Then "Requirements:" list bullet points:
- Curious and with a growth mindset.
- Have a passion for continuous learning, seeking out opportunities to expand your knowledge, and stretching yourself and others to achieve goals.
- Ability to own loosely defined features from technical design through completion, and deliver on commitments.
- Five (5) years of experience as a Software Engineer building and maintaining a SaaS application.
- Experience with CI/CD (e.g. Gitlab CI/CD, Jenkins) and container technologies (e.g. Docker, Kubernetes).
- Strong experience with Python and modern Python frameworks and technologies, such as Django, FastAPI, Flask, SQLAlchemy.
- Experience maintaining, building, and optimizing REST APIs.
- Experience with cloud computing environments (E.g., AWS)
- Excellent communication skills in English - both written and spoken.
Then "Preferred:" list:
- Hands-on experience building internal coding agents (e.g., ticket-to-MR, automated code review) and leading their rollout, including process design and team enablement.
- Solid experience with databases (SQL/NoSQL) and data modeling.
- Experience with big data technologies, such as Hadoop and Spark ecosystems.
- Experience with OpenSearch/Elasticsearch.
- Hands-on experience leveraging AI-assisted coding tools in daily workflows, including but not limited to Claude Code, Copilot, and Cursor.
Then later: "Belonging & Inclusion." etc is EEO boilerplate; remove.
"Culture. We put our people first. Bitsight offers best in class benefits. We devote the same energy to nurturing our company's inclusive culture as we apply to serving our customers' needs. Working at Bitsight will give you the opportunity to fulfill your professional goals and expand your skills. Open-minded. If you got to this point, we hope you’re feeling excited about the job description you just read. Even if you don’t feel that you meet every single requirement, we still encourage you to apply. We’re eager to meet people that believe in Bitsight’s mission and can contribute to our team in a variety of ways."
That's prose; could be under "About the role" or separate "Culture". But we only create sections if there is real specific content. This is somewhat generic; maybe we can include as part of About the role or omit. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine culture into About the role or maybe a separate "Culture" section if we think it's substantive. It's somewhat generic but still specific to Bitsight. Might be okay to include as a section "Culture". However the instruction says include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. This paragraph is not filler; it's specific about culture. So we could add a
Culture
with that paragraph.
Then later: "Bitsight also provides reasonable accommodations..." that's accommodation boilerplate; remove.
Then "Additional Information for United States of America Applicants:" includes compliance statements; that's legal boilerplate; remove.
Then "Massachusetts Applicants:" legal; remove.
Then "Qualified applicants with criminal histories..." legal; remove.
Then "This position may be considered a promotional opportunity pursuant to the Colorado Equal Pay for Equal Work Act." legal; remove.
Then "The anticipated hiring base salary range for this position is US$119,000 to $150,000 annually for US-based employees. This range reflects the minimum and maximum target for new hire salaries for the position across all US locations, is based on a full-time work schedule, and is Bitsight’s good faith estimate as of the date of this posting. Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training. In addition to base salary, this role is eligible for participation in a bonus or commission plan and an equity grant. Bitsight also offers a competitive benefits package, including but not but limited to medical, dental, and vision insurance; paid parental leave; flexible time off; a 401(k) plan with employee and company contribution opportunities; life and disability insurance; and tuition reimbursement."
That's substantive Pay and Benefits. So we need sections Pay and Benefits. According to instruction, include Pay and Benefits sections only if posting actually states them. It does. So we will have Pay
with prose about salary range, bonus/commission, equity grant. Then Benefits
with list of benefits.
We should not repeat job title. No Job ID.
We need to output only HTML fragment.
Structure: maybe start with About the role
...
. Then Requirements
- ...
. Then Preferred Qualifications
(or Preferred). The instruction says use headings like Qualifications, Skills. We could use "Preferred Qualifications". But they said use headings e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we could use "Qualifications" for Requirements, and "Preferred Qualifications" maybe not in list but we can still use "Preferred Qualifications" as a heading? It's not in the list but maybe okay. Safer to use "Requirements" for the required list, and "Preferred" for preferred list (though not in list). The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says use those for section headings. I'd stick to those. So we can put Requirements under Requirements
. Preferred could be under Preferred Qualifications
but that's not in the list; maybe better to incorporate into Requirements? But they are separate. Could use Skills
for preferred? Not ideal. Perhaps we can have Preferred Qualifications
as a heading; it's still a heading. The instruction didn't say you cannot use other headings, just gave examples. I'll use Preferred Qualifications
.
Then Culture

but not in list. Might be okay to include as a preamble before About the role. The instruction says use headings for sections like About the role etc. It didn't forbid other headings.

Now craft HTML.
