Software QA Engineer

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes "Why Join Birdi?" and "Position Summary", "Why You'll Love Working Here", "Essential Duties / Responsibilities", "Required Skills / Abilities", "Preferred Skills / Abilities", "Work Environment", "Benefits". Also maybe "Education / Experience". We need to use

for section headings. Do not repeat job title. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, pre-employment requirements, etc. Also remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Also remove duplicated lines. We need to preserve all substantive info. We need to decide which sections to include: About the role (maybe "Why Join Birdi?" is about company, not role). Could treat as "About the role" or "About Birdi". The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can choose headings that match content. We have sections: Why Join Birdi? (company overview) maybe "About the role" or "About Birdi". Position Summary could be "About the role". Why You'll Love Working Here could be "Benefits"? Actually benefits separate. Could be "Why You'll Love Working Here" as a subsection maybe under "Benefits" but we can keep as its own heading like "Why You'll Love Working Here". However the allowed headings list includes Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Not "Why You'll Love Working Here". But we can still use that heading? The instruction says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It gives examples but not exclusive? It says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely they expect those headings. But we can also use other headings if appropriate? Safer to stick to those. So we need to map content to those headings. We have: About the role (could combine Why Join Birdi? and Position Summary). Responsibilities (Essential Duties / Responsibilities). Requirements (Required Skills / Abilities). Qualifications (Education / Experience). Skills (maybe Preferred Skills / Abilities). Benefits (Benefits). Pay (not present, so omit). Schedule (not present, omit). Also maybe Work Environment could be part of About the role or Benefits? Could be its own section but not in list; maybe we can incorporate into About the role or Benefits. Since we should only include sections when posting has real specific content. Work Environment is present; we could include as a separate heading like "Work Environment" but not in examples. Might be okay but risk. However instruction: "Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests those are typical. Safer to include Work Environment as its own heading? Might be considered extra but still okay. However they said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could merge Work Environment into About the role or Benefits. I'd merge into About the role. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits. Now we need to extract content. About the role: combine "Why Join Birdi?" paragraph and "Position Summary". Also maybe include "Work Environment" details? We'll include work environment details in About the role as a paragraph. Let's gather: Why Join Birdi? At Birdi, we are transforming the pharmacy experience through innovation, collaboration, and a relentless focus on patient care. We offer team members the opportunity to make a meaningful impact while working alongside talented professionals in a collaborative and entrepreneurial environment where ideas are valued and continuous improvement is encouraged.
