We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes "What You’ll Do", "Who You Are", "Minimum Qualifications", "Preferred Qualifications", "Why Cisco?" plus salary info (Pay) and schedule? There's schedule info: remote based but only New England area considered, regular travel. That's schedule/location info. Also application window close date (metadata) we can fold into short p or drop. We should not repeat job title. No Job ID.
We need sections only when there is real specific content. So we can have:
