We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes description. We need to use for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include sections only when posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Also remove application instructions. Must preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Let's extract sections:
- About the role: The initial paragraph: "Your Job Koch Engineered Solutions (KES) is seeking a Solutions Architect to join its global Information Technology (IT) team.

Success requires balancing complex requirements and project risks while combining technical expertise, business insight, collaboration, and stakeholder alignment.

That's about the role.

- Benefits: "Our Benefits" paragraph.
Paragraph: "Our goal is for each employee, and their families, to live fulfilling and healthy lives.

Specific eligibility criteria is set by the applicable Summary Plan Description, policy or guideline and benefits may vary by geographic region. If you have questions on what benefits apply to you, please speak to your recruiter."
We should keep that.
- Pay: The posting includes a paragraph about compensation: "At Koch companies, we are entrepreneurs. This means we openly challenge the status quo, find new ways to create value and get rewarded for our individual contributions. Any compensation range provided for a role is an estimate determined by available market data. The actual amount may be higher or lower than the range provided considering each candidate's knowledge, skills, abilities, and geographic location. If you have questions, please speak to your recruiter about the flexibility and detail of our compensation philosophy."
That's about compensation but not a specific range. The instruction says: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state compensation philosophy but not a specific range. It says "Any compensation range provided for a role is an estimate..." This is still about compensation but not a specific range. Should we include a Pay section? The rule: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state something about compensation, but it's generic. It might be considered stating compensation philosophy. However they said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." And they said "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. 'commensurate with experience', 'not specified', 'N/A', 'varies', 'TBD')". The compensation paragraph is not filler but it's generic. I'd say we can include a Pay section with that paragraph. But it's not a specific range; still it's substantive about compensation philosophy. I'd include it.
- Schedule: Not mentioned. No schedule info. So we omit Schedule.
- Also there is "Hiring Philosophy" and "Who We Are" sections. Those could be considered "About the company" but not required headings. We could incorporate into About the role or maybe a separate section like "About Koch Engineered Solutions". But the instruction only lists specific headings; we can add other headings? It says use
