Solution Architect
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have "About the role" heading and include the intro paragraphs about Codal and role description.
But we must not repeat the job title as a heading. Job title is "Solution Architect". Not to be used as heading.
We need to include Responsibilities section: list of responsibilities bullet points.
Requirements: "What You'll Need To Be Successful" list.
Qualifications: "Preferred Qualifications" list.
Skills: maybe not separate; but we could embed skills within Requirements? The instruction says use sections only when posting has real specific content. There's no explicit "Skills" heading; but we could include a Skills section if we extract skills from responsibilities/requirements? Probably better not to create a Skills section unless there is explicit skills list. The posting includes "Strong grounding across at least two of the following: application architecture, systems/infrastructure design, data architecture, AI/ML solutioning, and DevOps." That's more like qualifications. Could treat as part of Requirements.
Benefits: there is a Benefits section with bullet list.
Pay: there is "Pay range $185,000—$210,000 USD". Also note "We continually review ranges..." and "Base salaries are determined during our interview process". That's specific content, so we should include Pay section.
Schedule: there is mention of "hybrid work environment for in-person collaboration and sprint-planning days". That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, scam warning, etc. Remove those.
We must not include duplicated lines.
We must preserve all substantive information.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Thus produce something like:
About the role

Pay
Pay range $185,000—$210,000 USD. Base salaries are determined during our interview process, by assessing a number of factors that include but aren’t limited to, a candidate’s experience and skills relative to the scope and responsibilities of the position.
Schedule
Hybrid work environment for in-person collaboration and sprint-planning days.
We need to ensure we don't include "Note: Codal only communicates..." etc. Also remove "Please note this role is open to Chicagoland residents and is not eligible for Visa sponsorship." That's substantive? It's about location and visa. Could be considered metadata; but instruction says fold minor metadata into a shortor drop it. This is location/visa info, maybe we can include in About the role paragraph as a short note. But we could also drop it? It's substantive but minor. Probably include in About the role paragraph. Also "We’re forward-thinking by design..." etc is part of "Need Another Reason to Hit the “Apply” Button?" That's marketing fluff but still substantive about company. Could include in About the role. We need to preserve all substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep those statements. Let's extract the About the role content: From start: "An Introduction to Codal Codal is an award-winning web design and development consultancy that helps enterprise organizations solve complex problems and accelerate growth through elegant, data-driven digital solutions. Our areas of expertise include application modernization, eCommerce, UX/UI design, product strategy, data analytics, and artificial intelligence. At Codal, you will collaborate with some of the most innovative organizations in the world and work on cutting-edge technologies that push the boundaries of design and software development. We promote long-term success, not just for our clients but for our team, helping you develop a professional roadmap that takes your career to new heights. Codal is looking for a Solution Architect who can look at a client's technology landscape, understand what's working, what isn't, and chart a credible path forward. You'll design and defend end-to-end solutions across software, systems, data, AI, and DevOps, translating ambiguous business goals into architectures that are practical to build and easy to evolve. This is a hands-on and client-facing role. You'll move between whiteboard sessions with client executives, deep technical design work, and hands-on prototyping to prove out an approach before committing a team to it. You're comfortable weighing cost, timeline, risk, and maintainability against each other, then making a recommendation and standing behind it. We expect this role to embody Codal’s principles of mindful excellence, insatiable expertise, diverse intuition, data-led curiosity, and candid leadership in how you lead technically, mentor your team, and engage with clients. Please note this role is open to Chicagoland residents and is not eligible for Visa sponsorship. Who You'll Be Working With You'll work alongside client stakeholders, from engineering leads to executive sponsors, as well as Codal's project managers, designers, and delivery teams. You'll be involved from early discovery and pre-sales conversations through hands-on implementation and post-launch support." Then after that, there is a section "Need Another Reason to Hit the “Apply” Button?" with bullet points about Codal being global agency, forward-thinking, etc. That's also substantive. We should combine all that into About the role section. We must not include the "Please note this role is open to Chicagoland residents and is not eligible for Visa sponsorship." as a separate heading; we can embed in paragraph. Now Responsibilities: list given after "Responsibilities". We need to capture each bullet. Let's extract them exactly: - Assess a client's existing technology landscape (software, systems, data, and infrastructure) and rationalize the pros, cons, and risks of what's in place versus what's proposed. - Design end-to-end solution architectures spanning application, data, AI/ML, and DevOps concerns, and document them clearly enough for both engineers and executives to act on. - Present and defend architecture recommendations to client stakeholders, including technical leads and executive sponsors, with support from Codal's delivery and account teams. - Support discovery, technical planning, and pre-sales conversations, translating client goals and constraints into a scoped, deliverable technical approach. - Create and maintain architecture decision records that capture the trade-offs considered and the reasoning behind each major decision. - Guide engineering teams through implementation, staying hands-on where needed (prototyping, code review, unblocking hard technical problems) without holding up delivery. - Evaluate emerging tools, platforms, and AI capabilities, and bring forward recommendations that would meaningfully improve a client's solution or delivery speed. - Partner with DevOps, data, and engineering leads to align architecture with CI/CD, cloud infrastructure, and data platform realities on the ground. - Mentor engineers and technical leads on architectural thinking, not just implementation, helping the broader team reason about systems, not just code. - Support planning, estimation, and risk management across the project lifecycle, flagging architectural risk early. Now Requirements: "What You'll Need To Be Successful" list: - 9+ years of hands-on software or systems engineering experience, including experience designing and owning architecture for complex, client-facing solutions. - Understanding and ability to solve complex client problems that will impact client business. - Proven ability to evaluate an existing technology landscape and make a clear, defensible recommendation, including build-vs-buy and platform trade-offs. - Strong grounding across at least two of the following: application architecture, systems/infrastructure design, data architecture, AI/ML solutioning, and DevOps. - Comfort learning a new domain or stack quickly (just-in-time), with enough hands-on ability to validate an approach yourself rather than only directing others. - Experience presenting technical recommendations directly to clients, including non-technical and executive stakeholders. - Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure), containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and modern CI/CD practices. - Solid understanding of databases and data platforms (SQL, NoSQL, and analytics platforms such as BigQuery). - Clear, confident communication skills, and the judgment to know when to hold a position and when to adapt it. - The drive to learn, adapt, and apply to the ever changing technology landscape. Now Preferred Qualifications: - Experience in a consulting or professional services environment, including supporting pre-sales, proposals, or client discovery. - Experience architecting solutions that incorporate AI/ML capabilities into existing products or platforms. - Experience leading architecture review boards or similar governance processes. - A track record of guiding teams through complex technical challenges and ambiguous requirements to a shipped outcome. - Certifications in a cloud platform or AI such as AWS Solution Architect or Claude Certified Architect Now Benefits: - Health Insurance: Comprehensive medical coverage for employees and their dependents. - Maternity/Paternity Leave: Additional time off and support for new parents. - Employer 401k match - 4% - Professional Development: Opportunities for training, workshops, and conferences to enhance employees' skills and knowledge. - A hybrid work environment for in-person collaboration and sprint-planning days Note: The last bullet about hybrid work environment could also be schedule, but we already have schedule section. However we might keep it in Benefits as it's a benefit. But schedule section we can note hybrid work environment. To avoid duplication, we could put hybrid work environment under Schedule, and keep other benefits under Benefits. The bullet list includes that as a benefit; we could still include it under Benefits but also mention schedule. However instruction: do not duplicate lines. So we should not repeat same content in two places. We need to decide where to place hybrid work environment. Since we have a Schedule section, we can put that there, and not include it in Benefits. The Benefits bullet list originally includes that; we can omit it from Benefits to avoid duplication. That's acceptable as we are not losing substantive info; we just moved it. Thus Benefits list will be: - Health Insurance: Comprehensive medical coverage for employees and their dependents. - Maternity/Paternity Leave: Additional time off and support for new parents. - Employer 401k match - 4% - Professional Development: Opportunities for training, workshops, and conferences to enhance employees' skills and knowledge. Now Pay section: we have "Pay range $185,000—$210,000 USD" and also "We continually review ranges to address skills, experience and markets. Base salaries are determined during our interview process, by assessing a number of factors that include but aren’t limited to, a candidate’s experience and skills relative to the scope and responsibilities of the position". We'll include both. Now Schedule section: "Hybrid work environment for in-person collaboration and sprint-planning days." Now About the role section: we need to include all the intro paragraphs plus the "Who You'll Be Working With" paragraph and the "Need Another Reason to Hit the “Apply” Button?" paragraphs. Let's craft About the role paragraph(s). Could be multiple
elements under the heading. We'll include:
