We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we have sections: Who We Are (maybe not needed), About The Team, What You'll Do, Responsibilities, Who You Are, Minimum Requirements, Preferred Qualifications, Hybrid work at Stripe (maybe schedule?), Pay and benefits. We must use

for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Thus we need to decide which sections to include based on content. We have: - About The Team (description) - What You'll Do (description) - Responsibilities (list) - Who You Are (description) - Minimum Requirements (list) - Preferred Qualifications (list) - Hybrid work at Stripe (description about remote/office) - Pay and benefits (salary range and benefits) We need to map to allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can use "About the role" for combined About The Team + What You'll Do? Or maybe separate sections: "About the team" not allowed heading; we can use "About the role" to cover that. Or we could have "About the team" as not allowed heading; we must stick to allowed headings. So we need to map content to allowed headings. Allowed headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can also possibly add other headings if they match content? The instruction says: use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It seems those are examples; we can use those headings. Probably we should only use those headings. Thus we need to decide which sections to include: - About the role: could contain "Who We Are About Stripe", "About The Team", "What You'll Do". That's substantive. - Responsibilities: list of responsibilities. - Requirements: Minimum Requirements. - Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications. - Skills: maybe not present explicitly; we could omit if no specific skills list beyond requirements. Could combine skills into Requirements? But we have separate Skills heading allowed; if we don't have specific skills list, we should not create a Skills section with filler. So omit Skills. - Benefits: we have benefits description (equity, company bonus, 401(k), medical, dental, vision, wellness stipends). Also Pay section for salary range. - Schedule: we have hybrid work description (office vs remote). That could be Schedule. Thus we will include sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not include empty sections. Now we need to format content. We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the details from each section. We must use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For prose, use

      . Thus: - About the role: prose (maybe multiple paragraphs). We'll put

      for each paragraph. - Responsibilities: list items. Each responsibility sentence from the bullet list. - Requirements: list items (minimum requirements). - Qualifications: list items (preferred qualifications). - Benefits: list items (benefits). Could also include prose? We'll list. - Pay: prose with salary range description. - Schedule: prose describing hybrid work. We must remove boilerplate like "We look forward to hearing from you.", "At Stripe, we're looking for people with passion, grit, and integrity.", "You're encouraged to apply even if your experience doesn't precisely match the job description.", "At Stripe, we welcome diverse perspectives...", "Join us. Apply now", "Please find our California applicant personal information notice here.", "The application window will remain open for 100 days..." etc. Also remove duplicated lines. We need to keep all substantive info: Who We Are About Stripe, About The Team, What You'll Do, Responsibilities, Who You Are, Minimum Requirements, Preferred Qualifications, Hybrid work at Stripe, Pay and benefits. We need to ensure we don't miss any details. Let's extract content. Original text: Who We Are About Stripe Stripe is a financial infrastructure platform for businesses.

In-office expectations Office-assigned Stripes spend at least 50% of the time in a given month in their local office or with users.

Working remotely at Stripe A remote location is defined as being 35 miles (56 kilometers) or more from one of our offices. While you would be welcome to come into the office for team/business meetings, on-sites, meet-ups, and events, our expectation is you would regularly work from home rather than a Stripe office. Stripe does not cover the cost of relocating to a remote location. We encourage you to apply for roles that match the location where you currently live or plan to live.
