We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like application window lines? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The application window lines are not boilerplate? They are about application window; they might be considered application instructions? Probably should be removed. The instruction says remove application instructions. So we should drop the lines about application window closing. Also remove duplicated lines (there are duplicate "The application window is expected to close on:" lines). So we drop those. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to extract sections: About the role (maybe "Meet the Team" and "Your Impact" etc). Responsibilities (Key Areas Of Responsibility Include). Requirements (Minimum Qualifications). Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications). Skills (maybe list of skills like communication, presentation, etc). Benefits (benefits described). Pay (salary range). Schedule (maybe vacation/time off info). We need to decide which sections have real specific content.

That's more about company; maybe could be part of About the role or separate but not required. - "Message to applicants applying to work in the U.S. and/or Canada: The starting salary range posted for this position is $209,100.00 to $275,100.00 and reflects the projected salary range for new hires in this position in U.S. and/or Canada locations, not including incentive compensation*, equity, or benefits.

Pay: salary ranges: starting salary range $209,100 to $275,100 (US/Canada). Also specific state ranges: NYC Metro $229k-$344.7k; Non-Metro NY & WA $218.6k-$329k.

Schedule: maybe vacation/time off info could be considered Schedule? The instruction: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So Schedule likely refers to work schedule (e.g., full-time, part-time, shift). The posting does not explicitly state schedule; but there is info about vacation, holidays, sick time. That's more benefits/time off. Could treat as Benefits. There's no explicit schedule like "Full-time", "Hybrid". So we may not include Schedule section if no specific content. The instruction: "Include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text". So we should not include Schedule if no explicit schedule info. However we have vacation details; but that's more benefits. Could we put under Benefits? Yes. Skills: we have communication and presentation skills, multi-functional collaboration, consultative skills, ability to demonstrate technical solutions, PoC, etc. Could list as Skills. We need to avoid duplication. We'll create sections: - About the role (combining Meet the Team and Your Impact maybe). Should we split? The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we can have About the role covering both. - Responsibilities (Key Areas Of Responsibility Include). - Requirements (Minimum Qualifications). - Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications). - Skills (maybe extract from Minimum/Preferred? But we already have communication etc in Minimum Qualifications. Could still create Skills section for things like communication, presentation, collaboration, consultative, technical demonstration, PoC, etc. However we risk duplication. Perhaps better to not create Skills if content already covered in Requirements/Qualifications. But we could still create Skills for things like "Excellent communication and presentation skills", "Strong multi-functional collaboration and consultative skills", "Capacity to demonstrate technical solutions and
