Software Engineer II WGU Labs
for sections like 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. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions). Also remove "How to Apply" and "Additional Information" etc. Also remove EEO etc.
We need to parse the posting.
Key content:
Intro paragraph: "If you’re passionate about building a better future for individuals, communities, and our country—and you’re committed to working hard to play your part in building that future—consider WGU as the next step in your career. Driven by a mission to expand access to higher education through online, competency-based degree programs, WGU is also committed to being a great place to work for a diverse workforce of student-focused professionals. The university has pioneered a new way to learn in the 21st century, one that has received praise from academic, industry, government, and media leaders. Whatever your role, working for WGU gives you a part to play in helping students graduate, creating a better tomorrow for themselves and their families."
That's about the role/company. Could be "About the role" or "About WGU". Use About the role
with
. Then salary/pay: "The salary range for this position takes into account the wide range of factors that are considered in making compensation decisions including but not limited to skill sets; experience and training; licensure and certifications; and other business and organizational needs. At WGU, it is not typical for an individual to be hired at or near the top of the range for their position, and compensation decisions are dependent on the facts and circumstances of each case. A reasonable estimate of the current range is: Grade: Technical 408 Pay Range: $118,900.00 - $178,500.00" We need Pay section if posting actually states them. Yes, we have pay range. So
Pay
withcontaining that info. Job Description: There's a heading "Job Description". Then description of Software Engineer II responsibilities. Then later "What You'll Do" with bullet-like paragraphs. Also "What You'll Bring" etc. We need to extract responsibilities, requirements, qualifications, skills, benefits. We must not duplicate. We'll create sections: Responsibilities (
Responsibilities
) with- items from responsibilities list.
Responsibilities from "What You'll Do": bullet points:
- Design and Build Meaningful Software
- Develop and enhance web applications, APIs, and services that power critical business capabilities and improve customer experiences.
- Translate business and technical requirements into clean, maintainable, and scalable software solutions.
- Contribute across the software development lifecycle, from design and implementation through testing, deployment, and operational support.
- Drive technical solutions that balance performance, quality, security, and time-to-market.
- Own and Improve Systems
- Take ownership of features, services, and systems within your domain and help ensure their reliability, scalability, and maintainability.
- Participate in troubleshooting and root-cause analysis to rapidly identify and resolve production issues.
- Continuously improve system performance, observability, operational excellence, and developer productivity.
- Collaborate and Influence
- Partner with engineers, product managers, analysts, and operations teams to deliver valuable solutions.
- Help shape technical decisions through thoughtful design discussions and code reviews.
- Share knowledge, mentor peers, and contribute to a culture of engineering excellence and continuous learning.
- Build Quality In
- Develop automated testing strategies that maximize quality while enabling fast, reliable delivery.
- Apply engineering best practices including secure coding, code reviews, automated testing, and continuous integration.
- Identify technical risks, architectural concerns, and implementation gaps early, and propose practical solutions.
We could flatten into list items.
Requirements: Minimum Qualifications: Education Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, or a related field. Experience 3+ years of professional software development experience building web applications, APIs, and distributed services. 2+ years of experience with modern software development technologies including: Javascript, TypeScript, Node.js, React, SQL. Experience integrating applications with relational databases and third-party systems. Experience working with source control, automated build pipelines, and modern development tools. Equivalent combination of education and relevant experience will be considered.
Preferred Qualifications: list.
Also "What You'll Bring" sections: Technical Expertise, Problem Solving & Engineering Mindset, Collaboration & Communication. Those could be considered Skills.
We need to decide sections: Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe combine Minimum Qualifications as Requirements), Qualifications (maybe Preferred Qualifications), Skills (What You'll Bring), Benefits (benefits listed later), Pay (we have), Schedule (maybe mention full-time 40 hours). There's a line: "Full-Time Regular Positions (classified as regular and working 40 standard weekly hours): This is a full-time, regular position (classified for 40 standard weekly hours) that is eligible for bonuses; medical, dental, vision, telehealth and mental healthcare; health savings account and flexible spending account; basic and voluntary life insurance; disability coverage; accident, critical illness and hospital indemnity supplemental coverages; legal and identity theft coverage; retirement savings plan; wellbeing program; discounted WGU tuition; and flexible paid time off for rest and relaxation with no need for accrual, flexible paid sick time with no need for accrual, 11 paid holidays, and other paid leaves, including up to 12 weeks of parental leave."
That includes schedule (40 standard weekly hours) and benefits list. So we can have Schedule section with that sentence about full-time 40 hours. Benefits section with the list of benefits.
We must not include application instructions ("How to Apply") or EEO etc.
Now produce HTML fragment.
We'll need to ensure we don't duplicate content. We'll include all substantive info.
Let's craft sections:
