Senior Software Engineer – Backend Platforms, Vice President (Wealth Custody & Clearing)
for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). They gave examples but we can use appropriate headings. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, no boilerplate. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "About State Street" maybe? It's not boilerplate? It's generic but maybe considered boilerplate? It's about company; but they said remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. "About State Street" is not necessarily boilerplate but could be considered generic; but they didn't say to remove it. However they said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Might combine some.
We need sections only when posting has real specific content. All sections have content.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for responsibilities, required experience, technical skills, benefits, etc.
We need
for prose.
We must not include Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state Salary Range and Benefits, so we can include Pay (Salary) and Benefits sections.
Schedule not mentioned, so omit.
We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Let's craft:
Who We Are
maybe not in list but okay. They said use h3 for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). But we can still use h3 for any section. Probably fine.
We'll include sections: Who We Are, Role Summary, Core Responsibilities, Required Experience, Domain Expertise, Technical Skills, Education, Why State Street, Pay, Benefits.
Make sure each section's content is proper.
For lists: Core Responsibilities bullet list. Required Experience bullet list? It's more prose but we can bullet each bullet. Domain Expertise bullet list. Technical Skills bullet list. Benefits bullet list.
Pay: maybe with salary range.
Let's extract details.
