Site Reliability Engineer, Edge Services - USDS
for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). However they gave examples; we can use those headings but must match content. They said: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should use those exact headings where appropriate. But we also have sections like "About USDS", "Why Join Us", "Diversity & Inclusion", "USDS Reasonable Accommodation". Those are not in the list; but we can still use for any section heading? The instruction: "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It implies we should use those headings for sections; but we can also use other headings if needed? Probably we should stick to those headings where applicable, and if a section doesn't match, we could still use with appropriate heading text (like About USDS). The examples are not exhaustive; they just give examples. So we can use for any section heading.
We must not repeat the job title as a heading. Not include Job ID/requisition numbers.
We must use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions.
We need to remove the "USDS Reasonable Accommodation" maybe it's legal boilerplate? It's about accommodation; might be considered EEO/legal. The instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. Reasonable accommodation is related to disability accommodation, could be considered EEO. Might be considered boilerplate. However it's substantive? It's a statement about accommodation; could be considered legal. I'd lean to remove it as boilerplate. Similarly "Diversity & Inclusion" might be considered EEO? It's about inclusion; could be considered boilerplate but also substantive. The instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. Diversity & Inclusion could be considered EEO-related. Might be removed. However many job postings include that as a section; but they said remove EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. I'd remove Diversity & Inclusion and Reasonable Accommodation.
We also need to remove duplicated lines.
We need to include Pay and Benefits sections if posting actually states them. The posting includes compensation description and benefits description. So we should have a Pay section (maybe
Pay
) and Benefits section (Benefits
). Also maybe Schedule: they mention shift to fully in-person schedule up to 5 days a week. That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section.
We also need About the role? There's "About USDS TikTok USDS Joint Venture LLC". That's about the company; could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is not present. But we have "About USDS". Could treat as "About the role"? Not exactly. Maybe we should use "About USDS" as heading.
We also have "Why Join Us". That's a section.
We also have "Responsibilities". Good.
We also have "Qualifications". Good.
We also have "Skills"? Not explicitly; but qualifications include skills. Could combine.
We need to avoid creating sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
Now we need to extract substantive content.
Let's parse the posting:
Responsibilities section:
- "Architect and implement solutions that enable both internal and external customers to harness the power of TikTok’s content delivery network."
- "Contribute to data pipelines, tools, automations, visualizations and monitors to facilitate the operation and optimization of edge services."
- "Data monitoring and alerting, data quality assurance and anomaly detection."
- "Document team processes and policies, including methods of engagement and SLOs."
- "Analyze, design and implement solutions at the system level to remove bottlenecks and improve edge service performance."
- "Implement monitoring and alerting to improve issue detection and response."
- "Work in a fast-paced environment. Participate in technical operations and rotations in response to performance and reliability issues."
Note: The last bullet includes two sentences; we can keep as one bullet.

For Los Angeles County (unincorporated) Candidates: Qualified applicants with arrest or conviction records will be considered for employment in accordance with all federal, state, and local laws including the Los Angeles County Fair Chance Ordinance for Employers and the California Fair Chance Act. Our company believes that criminal history may have a direct, adverse and negative relationship on the following job duties, potentially resulting in the withdrawal of the conditional offer of employment: 1. Interacting and occasionally having unsupervised contact with internal/external clients and/or colleagues; 2. Appropriately handling and managing confidential information including proprietary and trade secret information and access to information technology systems; and 3. Exercising sound judgment. We need to remove boilerplate like EEO, scam warning, etc. The Los Angeles County Fair Chance info might be considered legal; but it's specific to location. Might be considered boilerplate?

This is about fair chance; could be considered EEO. I'd remove that paragraph. Also the "Job Information" heading is not needed; we will have Pay and Benefits sections.
