We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Also we must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Content: - Intro about Castelion (company description). Could be part of "About the role"? Actually "About Castelion" is company description. The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have "About the role" heading and include description of role and maybe company description? The "About Castelion" is company overview; could be placed under "About the role" or maybe separate? The instruction says use those headings; we can include "About the role" and put the role description there. The company description maybe also part of that. We need to include responsibilities list. Responsibilities: bullet list of duties. Basic Qualifications: list of qualifications. Preferred Skills And Experience: list. Leadership Qualities: list. All employees are granted long-term stock incentives... Benefits: medical, vision, dental, three weeks PTO. ITAR Requirements: citizenship etc. Employment with Castelion is governed... EEO statement: we should remove EEO boilerplate. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. So we must drop the EEO paragraph. Also we need to include Pay and Schedule sections only if posting actually states them. The posting does not mention pay or schedule explicitly. So we should NOT include Pay or Schedule sections. Benefits: we have stock incentives, medical/vision/dental, three weeks PTO. So we can include Benefits section. Qualifications: we have Basic Qualifications and Preferred Skills And Experience. Possibly combine into Qualifications and Skills sections? The instruction says we can have sections: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits. We need to decide what to put where. We have "Basic Qualifications" and "Preferred Skills And Experience". Also "Leadership Qualities". Could treat Basic Qualifications as Requirements or Qualifications. Preferred Skills as Skills. Leadership Qualities maybe also Skills or Qualities but we could put under Skills or maybe a separate section? The instruction list includes Skills, Qualifications, Requirements. We can map: - Requirements: Basic Qualifications (must-haves) - Qualifications: maybe also Basic? But we can combine? Better to follow typical: Requirements = mandatory qualifications; Qualifications = maybe also mandatory? Might be redundant. But we can include both Requirements and Qualifications if we have distinct content. We have Basic Qualifications (mandatory) and Preferred Skills And Experience (preferred). Leadership Qualities could be under Skills or maybe a separate section like "Leadership Qualities" but not in allowed headings. Could incorporate into Skills. Thus we can output:

We must not include Pay or Schedule. We need to preserve all substantive info. Let's extract details. About Castelion paragraph: "Castelion is bringing a new approach to defense development and production: one that focuses on short, iterative design cycles, rapid testing in development, and modern commercial manufacturing strategies for production at scale. We're designing, building, and testing next generation long range strike weapons systems to give America and its Allies a definitive edge and deter future conflicts." Then role intro: "Shipping and Receiving Associate As a Shipping and Receiving Associate, you will play a key role in ensuring the smooth flow of materials in and out of our facility. You'll be responsible for receiving, inspecting, and organizing incoming shipments, as well as preparing and shipping outgoing orders accurately and on time. This role requires strong attention to detail, a sense of ownership, and the ability to work efficiently in a fast-paced environment while supporting inventory accuracy and overall operations." We can combine into About the role paragraph.

Benefits: - All employees are granted long-term stock incentives as part of their employment as Castelion. - All employees receive access to comprehensive medical, vision, and dental insurance. - The company offers three weeks of paid time off per year. ITAR Requirements: must include? It's substantive info about eligibility. Should we include? It's not in the allowed headings but we could incorporate into Requirements or maybe a separate section like "Eligibility". The instruction says use headings for those categories; but we can also include other headings if they are substantive? 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 says "use

for section headings (e.g. ...)". Likely they expect only those headings. However, ITAR Requirements is important substantive info; we could fold into Requirements or Qualifications. Probably include under Requirements as a bullet. Similarly, the EEO statement we must remove. Thus we will add ITAR bullet under Requirements. Now construct HTML. We must not include markdown fences. Just raw HTML. Let's craft.
