Software Engineer (Secret Clearance)
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to map content to these headings appropriately. Only include sections when posting has real specific content.
We have:
- About the role: could be "WHAT WE'RE DOING" and maybe "THE WORK". Could combine into About the role.
- Responsibilities: list from "Common Responsibilities Of a Software Engineer On The Agile Development Teams Include:" bullet list.
- Requirements: maybe "Basic Qualifications" (clearance, degree, experience, RHEL, Git). Also travel 10% and security clearance.
- Qualifications: maybe "Desired Skills" as Qualifications? But we already have Requirements. Could treat Desired Skills as Skills section.
- Skills: maybe list of desired skills.
- Benefits: list from "Benefits offered:" plus mention of medical/dental etc.
- Pay: from Pay Information with GeoZones ranges.
- Schedule: maybe mention travel 10%? Not schedule. Could include "Schedule" if there is info about work schedule (e.g., flexible work arrangements 4x10). That is in Benefits offered: "Flexible work arrangements and schedules (e.g., 4x10)". Could put under Benefits or Schedule. Since we have a Schedule section, we could include flexible work arrangements.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content.
We must remove boilerplate: EEO, legal, navigation, duplicated lines, application instructions. The posting includes "Standard Job Description" repeated twice? There's a generic description after "WHY JOIN US". That seems like a generic job description; we should keep substantive info but not duplicate. It includes responsibilities etc. Might be similar to earlier responsibilities. We need to preserve all substantive info, but avoid duplication. We'll need to deduplicate.

We need to output HTML fragment with headings and content
or
- . Avoid repeating job title. No markdown.
We need to decide sections:
- About the role: combine WHAT WE'RE DOING and THE WORK overview (maybe not the detailed responsibilities list). Could include mission description, team environment, responsibilities areas (Sensor/Weapon Integration etc.) and the work description (design, develop, test software applications, minimal direction, etc.) plus note about security clearance and travel.
- Responsibilities: the bullet list of common responsibilities.
- Requirements: Basic Qualifications (clearance, degree, language experience, RHEL, Git). Also maybe include US citizenship and security clearance (already). Travel 10% could be under Schedule? But schedule section maybe for flexible work arrangements. Travel is not schedule but could be under Requirements as "approximately 10% travel". We'll include in Requirements.
- Qualifications: maybe not needed separately if we have Requirements and Skills. But we could put Desired Skills under Skills.
- Skills: Desired Skills list.
- Benefits: Benefits offered list plus medical/dental etc from WHY JOIN US (though overlapping). We'll combine.
- Pay: Pay Information with GeoZones.
- Schedule: Flexible work arrangements (4x10) and maybe mention of travel? Travel is not schedule but we could put travel under Requirements. For Schedule we can include flexible work arrangements and maybe mention of PTO accrual for Washington state? That's more benefits. We'll put flexible work arrangements under Schedule.
We must not create sections with filler. Ensure each heading has substantive content.
