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 boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Overview: description about Capital One AI, team description, role responsibilities, ideal candidate, basic qualifications, preferred qualifications, salary ranges, benefits mention, etc. We need to decide sections. - About the role: could be overview/team description? Probably "About the role" includes overview and team description. - Responsibilities: list of duties: "In this role, you will:" bullet list. - Requirements: maybe basic qualifications? Or "Requirements" could be basic qualifications. - Qualifications: maybe preferred qualifications? Or we could combine basic and preferred under Requirements and Qualifications? The instruction says use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include only those with real content. We have content for: - About the role: overview and team description. - Responsibilities: bullet list after "In this role, you will:". - Requirements: basic qualifications (Bachelor's + 10 years OR Master's + 8 years, plus at least 5 years people leadership). Also maybe "At least 5 years of people leadership experience". That's a requirement. - Qualifications: preferred qualifications (7 years managing team, 8 years deploying scalable AI, experience developing AI/ML using languages, passion for research, excellent communication). Also maybe "Capital One will consider sponsoring..."? That's not qualification. - Skills: maybe list of technologies: AWS Ultraclusters, Huggingface, VectorDBs, Nemo Guardrails, PyTorch, etc. Also languages Python, C++, C#, Java, Golang. Could be under Skills. - Benefits: mention of comprehensive benefits, performance based incentive compensation, health, financial, other benefits. Also mention of learning more at careers website. Could include. - Pay: salary ranges per location. - Schedule: not mentioned. No schedule info. So we should not include Schedule section. We must not include placeholder like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to preserve all substantive info; do not invent or summarize away detail. Must not omit any substantive info. That is tricky: we need to include all details from the posting, but we can format them into sections. Must not leave out any substantive info like the overview sentences, team description, responsibilities bullet points, ideal candidate paragraph, basic qualifications, preferred qualifications, salary table, benefits statement, sponsorship note, etc. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, equal opportunity, scam warning, navigation, cookie, legal, application instructions, etc. Must remove those. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's extract substantive content.
