Engineering$41.81/hrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Key parts:
- Hourly Rate: $41.81 commensurate with experience. This is pay info. Should we include Pay section? The rule: include Pay section only if posting actually states them. It does state hourly rate $41.81 commensurate with experience. However "commensurate with experience" is vague but still a specific rate. We can include Pay section with that rate. But rule says never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD"). The phrase "commensurate with experience" is considered filler? It says never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD"). So if we put Pay section with just "$41.81 commensurate with experience", that includes filler phrase. Might be considered filler. Better to omit Pay section? But we need to preserve all substantive information. The hourly rate is substantive. However the rule says we should not create Pay section unless posting actually states them, and we should not emit heading followed by filler/placeholder text. The phrase "commensurate with experience" is filler. Could we instead include Pay section with just "$41.81"? But that would be altering info (dropping "commensurate with experience"). Might be considered summarizing away detail. The rule: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we need to keep the phrase. But then we would have a heading with filler text. The rule says never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD"). That seems to forbid having a Pay section that only contains that phrase. However we could combine Pay with other info? Maybe we can include Pay within another section like "About the role" or "Responsibilities"? But the instruction: Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It suggests we can have those headings if content exists. If we include Pay heading, we must have substantive content beyond filler. The phrase "$41.81 commensurate with experience" includes both a specific number and filler. Is that considered filler? The example list includes "commensurate with experience" as filler. So likely they want us to omit Pay section because it's not a definite number; it's variable. So we should not include Pay.
Similarly Schedule: posting says "PUCO core hours of operation are Monday-Friday from 8:00am to 5:00pm, however, daily start/end times may vary based on operational need across PUCO departments. Most positions perform work on-site at the PUCO Central Office. Flex-time schedules are based on operational need and require supervisor approval." That's schedule info. Should we include Schedule section? It contains specifics: core hours M-F 8-5, flex-time, on-site. That's substantive. Not just placeholder. So include Schedule.
Benefits: posting mentions "In addition, the State of Ohio offers cost of living adjustments, longevity supplements after five years of public service, and wellness." That's benefits. Also maybe other benefits not listed. So we can include Benefits section with those items.
Qualifications: there is a block about experience requirements: "60 mos. combined work experience..." etc. Also "Or completion of associate core program..." etc. Also "Or equivalent of minimum class qualifications...". Also "Only those applicants possessing the experience in the required, primary technology listed...". Also "Job Skills: Software Development/Implementation". Also "Technical Skills Cloud computing, Software development/implementation, Salesforce". Also "Professional Skills Analyzation, Attention to Detail, Interpreting Data". Also "Primary Technology Cloud Services Administration". So we need to separate Requirements, Qualifications, Skills maybe.
We need to decide which sections to include: About the role (maybe from "About The Information Technology Department" and "What You'll Do"? Actually "About The Information Technology Department" is about the department, not role. "What You'll Do" is responsibilities. So we could have About the role (maybe summarizing role description). Could combine "About The Information Technology Department" as About the role? The instruction: use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It suggests we can have those headings if content exists. If we include Pay heading, we must have substantive content beyond filler. The phrase "$41.81 commensurate with experience" includes both a specific number and filler. Is that considered filler? The example list includes "commensurate with experience" as filler. So likely they want us to omit Pay section because it's not a definite number; it's variable. So we should not include Pay.
Similarly Schedule: posting says "PUCO core hours of operation are Monday-Friday from 8:00am to 5:00pm, however, daily start/end times may vary based on operational need across PUCO departments. Most positions perform work on-site at the PUCO Central Office. Flex-time schedules are based on operational need and require supervisor approval." That's schedule info. Should we include Schedule section? It contains specifics: core hours M-F 8-5, flex-time, on-site. That's substantive. Not just placeholder. So include Schedule.
Benefits: posting mentions "In addition, the State of Ohio offers cost of living adjustments, longevity supplements after five years of public service, and wellness." That's benefits. Also maybe other benefits not listed. So we can include Benefits section with those items.
Qualifications: there is a block about experience requirements: "60 mos. combined work experience..." etc. Also "Or completion of associate core program..." etc. Also "Or equivalent of minimum class qualifications...". Also "Only those applicants possessing the experience in the required, primary technology listed...". Also "Job Skills: Software Development/Implementation". Also "Technical Skills Cloud computing, Software development/implementation, Salesforce". Also "Professional Skills Analyzation, Attention to Detail, Interpreting Data". Also "Primary Technology Cloud Services Administration". So we need to separate Requirements, Qualifications, Skills maybe.
We need to decide which sections to include: About the role (maybe from "About The Information Technology Department" and "What You'll Do"? Actually "About The Information Technology Department" is about the department, not role. "What You'll Do" is responsibilities. So we could have About the role (maybe summarizing role description). Could combine "About The Information Technology Department" as About the role? 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 (maybe from the department description). Responsibilities from "What You'll Do". Requirements maybe from experience/education. Qualifications maybe from certifications? But we have overlapping. We'll need to decide.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for "Software Development Specialist 3". Good.
We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers.
We must remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. There's some like "Our agency does not participate in H1-B Visa Sponsorship" maybe not boilerplate? It's specific to job. Might keep? It's not EEO but maybe relevant. Could keep as part of About the role? Might be considered metadata. Probably we can keep it in a short paragraph.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include details about duties, responsibilities, qualifications, skills, benefits, schedule.
Let's extract sections:
About the role: Could be description of IT Division and role purpose. Use paragraph(s) from "About The Information Technology Department" and maybe first sentence of role? The role is Software Development Specialist 3. The description: "In this position as the Software Development Specialist 3, your primary duties will be:" then list. So About the role could be the IT Division description. We'll put that.
Responsibilities: the bullet list after "What You'll Do". We'll make - for each duty.
Requirements: maybe the experience/education requirements (the long block about 60 mos etc). Also maybe "Only those applicants possessing the experience in the required, primary technology listed...". That's a requirement.
Qualifications: maybe the "Job Skills: Software Development/Implementation" etc? Actually that's skills. Could treat Skills section for technical and professional skills. Qualifications could be education/experience? But we already used Requirements for that. Might combine.
Better: Use Requirements for the mandatory experience/education block. Use Qualifications for the "Or equivalent of minimum class qualifications..."? That's still part of requirements. Hmm.
Maybe we can have Requirements (experience/education) and Qualifications (skills). But the instruction list includes both Requirements and Qualifications as separate headings. We need to decide content for each.
Let's map:
- Requirements: mandatory experience/education (the 60 mos etc). Also "Only those applicants possessing the experience in the required, primary technology listed..." (makes it a requirement).
- Qualifications: maybe the "Job Skills: Software Development/Implementation Organization Public Utilities Commission Agency Contact Name and Information ..."? That seems not qualification. Actually "Job Skills:" line is skills.
- Skills: Technical Skills, Professional Skills, Primary Technology.
Thus:
Requirements: experience/education block.
Qualifications: maybe the "Or equivalent of minimum class qualifications for employment noted above." Not sure. Could skip Qualifications if no distinct content besides requirements. But we need to avoid empty headings. If we don't have distinct qualifications content, we should not include Qualifications heading.
Thus we will include: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Benefits, Schedule.
Check if we need to include Pay? We decided to omit due to filler.
Now extract content precisely.
About the role: Use the paragraph(s) describing IT Division: "The Information Technology (IT) Division works collaboratively with all PUCO departments to identify, procure and support information technology solutions necessary to perform the mission critical business functions of the PUCO. IT subject matter experts: maintain more than 50 business applications: plan, design, build and deploy new IT solutions; provide support for phones, tablets, laptops, desktops and printers; maintain production systems; and manage PUCO’s websites and webcasting activities. In addition, the IT division coordinates infrastructure support and IT security services with the Department of Administrative Services (DAS) and the Office of Information Technology (OIT)." Also maybe include "Our agency does not participate in H1-B Visa Sponsorship". Could add as separate sentence.
Responsibilities: list each duty after "What You'll Do In this position as the Software Development Specialist 3 , your primary duties will be:" then list items separated by line breaks. Let's capture:
- Lead architectural design efforts, ensuring all Salesforce solutions follow secure, scalable, and maintainable patterns
- Guide developers through code reviews, mentorship, and enforcement of engineering best practices
- Collaborate closely with administrators, analysts, and technical teams to deliver cohesive, integrated enterprise solutions
- Oversee full lifecycle development activities, including technical design, unit testing, integration, UAT support, and deployment
- Develop high-quality applications using Apex, Visualforce, Lightning Web Components, and integration technologies
- Troubleshoot and resolve complex issues, ensuring system stability, performance, and adherence to organizational standards
- Stay current with Salesforce releases, platform advancements, and industry best practices to recommend strategic improvements
- Maintain comprehensive technical documentation to support system understanding, maintenance, and team knowledge sharing
- Translate business requirements into detailed technical specifications and align designs with long-term architectural direction
- Collaborate with administrators, analysts, and developers to ensure seamless integration with other systems
- Promote and deploy code across multiple environments using established DevOps practices
- DevOps/release management experience
Note the last item "DevOps/release management experience" seems like a requirement but appears in duties list. We'll keep as duty.
Requirements: The block about experience/education. Let's extract:
"60 mos. combined work experience in any combination of the following: assuring requirements are defined and approved, performing code reviews and ensuring application development standards are met including 12 mos. work experience in the primary technology as specified by the agency position description & job posting. Or completion of associate core program in computer science or information systems; 42 mos. combined work experience in any combination of the following: assuring requirements are defined and approved, performing code reviews and ensuring application development standards are met including 12 mos. work experience in the primary technology as specified by the agency position description & job posting. Or completion of undergraduate core program in computer science or information systems; 36 mos. combined work experience in any combination of the following: assuring requirements are defined and approved, performing code reviews and ensuring application development standards are met including 12 mos. work experience in the primary technology as specified by the agency position description & job posting. Or equivalent of minimum class qualifications for employment noted above. Note: The official position description on file with the designated agency is to reflect the required, primary technology directly relating to the duties of the position. Only those applicants possessing the experience in the required, primary technology listed in the position description & job posting are to be considered for any vacancies posted. The job posting must list the required technology commensurate with the position in question."
We need to preserve all that. Might be long but okay.
Skills: Technical Skills: "Cloud computing, Software development/implementation, Salesforce". Professional Skills: "Analyzation, Attention to Detail, Interpreting Data". Primary Technology: "Cloud Services Administration". Also maybe "Job Skills: Software Development/Implementation". We'll combine.
We can make a
for technical skills, another for professional skills, maybe list primary technology as separate item.
Benefits: "In addition, the State of Ohio offers cost of living adjustments, longevity supplements after five years of public service, and wellness."
- for each duty.
Requirements: maybe the experience/education requirements (the long block about 60 mos etc). Also maybe "Only those applicants possessing the experience in the required, primary technology listed...". That's a requirement.
