We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we need to use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections where posting has real specific content. We need to parse the job posting.
The posting includes:
- Mission statement (Our Mission) - could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is generic. The posting includes "Our Mission", "Who We Are", "Job Summary", "Your Career", "Your Impact Role", "Qualifications", "Your Experience", "Compensation Disclosure", "Our Commitment". We need to map to allowed headings.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID.
We need to include sections only if there is real specific content.
We have content for:
- About the role? Could be "Job Summary" or "Your Career". Probably "About the role" heading with content from "Job Summary" and "Your Career". We'll combine.
- Responsibilities: from "Your Impact Role" bullet points (list of duties). We'll output as
- .
- Requirements/Qualifications: from "Qualifications" and "Your Experience". Could be "Qualifications" heading with list.
- Skills: maybe not explicit separate; but we could include under Qualifications.
- Benefits: posting mentions "A description of our employee benefits may be found here." Not specific benefits listed. So we should NOT create Benefits section because no specific content.
- Pay: compensation range given: $206,400.00 - $283,800.00/yr. Also mention restricted stock units and bonus. So we can create Pay section with that info.
- Schedule: not mentioned (remote, hybrid teams). It says "This role is remote, but distance is no barrier to impact. Our hybrid teams collaborate across geographies". Could infer schedule: remote/hybrid. But is that specific enough? It mentions remote and hybrid teams. Could be considered schedule info. However we should only create Schedule if posting actually states them. It does mention remote and hybrid teams. That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section with that.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, immigration sponsorship, etc. Remove those.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details from the posting.
Let's extract content.
Mission and Who We Are: maybe part of About the role.

We need to parse into list items. The text is run together without punctuation. We need to split logically.
Let's break:
- 6+ years experience in pre-sales/sales engineering
- Skilled in at least one of the following: Networking, Network Security, Cybersecurity, Private/Public Cloud Security, SOC/Endpoint or SASE.
- Experience in delivering cybersecurity solutions that solve technical challenges and influence new business initiatives is preferred
- Influencing and gaining buy-in from key stakeholders, either in a customer-facing or internal role; prior experience in a pre-sales role is ideal
- Creating and delivering technical presentations, workshops, or technical validation engagements

- Partnering with Customer Support functions to ensure successful implementation and adoption of sold solutions

We'll output as

Pay section: "Compensation Disclosure The compensation offered for this position will depend on qualifications, experience, and work location. For candidates who receive an offer at the posted level, the starting base salary (for non-sales roles) or base salary + commission target (for sales/com-missioned roles) is expected to be the annual range listed below. The offered compensation may also include restricted stock units and a bonus. A description of our employee benefits may be found here. $206,400.00 - $283,800.00/yr"
We need to preserve all substantive information. So include that paragraph plus the range.
Schedule: "This role is remote, but distance is no barrier to impact. Our hybrid teams collaborate across geographies to solve big problems, stay close to our customers, and grow together."
We'll put that in Schedule section.
We must not include sections like Benefits (no specific). Also not include "Our Commitment" (EEO etc) which is boilerplate; we should remove.
Also remove "Is role eligible for Immigration Sponsorship? No." etc.
Now produce HTML fragment with headings
for each section. Order: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (or Qualifications), Skills? We could combine Requirements and Qualifications. The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We can choose which to include. We'll include About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Pay, Schedule. Possibly also Skills? Not needed. We must not create empty sections. Let's craft. About the role: combine Mission, Who We Are, Job Summary, Your Career. We need to preserve all substantive information; we can't omit details. So we need to include the mission statement, who we are, job summary, your career. That's a lot of prose. We'll put them in
tags inside the section. We must not repeat job title as heading. Let's write:

But note we already mentioned remote/hybrid in Who We Are; we might duplicate. However we need to preserve all info; duplication is okay as long as we don't invent. But we might want to avoid duplication but it's okay. Alternatively we could split: About the role includes Mission and Who We Are; Responsibilities includes Impact Role; Qualifications includes Experience; Pay includes compensation; Schedule includes remote/hybrid. But we already placed remote/hybrid in About the role; we could move it to Schedule. Let's decide: Schedule section will contain remote/hybrid info. So we should not duplicate it elsewhere. Let's extract remote/hybrid from Who We Are: "This role is remote, but distance is no barrier to impact. Our hybrid teams collaborate across geographies to solve big problems, stay close to our customers, and grow together." We'll put that in Schedule. Thus About the role will not include that sentence. Let's rewrite About the role: include Mission, Who We Are (excluding remote/hybrid sentence), Job Summary, Your Career. Who We Are sentence: "In order to be the cybersecurity partner of choice, we must trailblaze the path and shape the future of our industry. This is something our employees work at each day and is defined by our values: Disruption, Collaboration, Execution, Integrity, and Inclusion.
