We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we have Department/Group Overview, Job Summary, Responsibilities And Duties Of The Role, Basic Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, Required Education, Pay info (hiring range). Also maybe Benefits? Not specified beyond "full range of medical, financial, and/or other benefits". That's vague; we should not create Benefits section unless specific content. The posting mentions "A bonus and/or long-term incentive units may be provided as part of the compensation package, in addition to the full range of medical, financial, and/or other benefits". That's not specific; we should not create Benefits section because it's generic. Pay section: we have hiring range $141,900 to $181,200 per year. That's specific, so we can include Pay section. Schedule: not mentioned. So we omit Schedule.
We need headings: for section headings: e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we should map content to appropriate headings. The instructions: use
for section headings: e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we should map content to appropriate headings. The instructions: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to decide which sections to include based on content.
We have Department/Group Overview: could be "About the role" or maybe "About the team". Probably "About the role" is appropriate for overview of team and why you'd love working there. We'll include About the role
with paragraph(s) summarizing the overview.
Job Summary: could be part of About the role or separate "Job Summary". But we can incorporate into About the role or maybe a separate section "Job Summary". The instruction list includes "About the role" as example; we can use that for overview and summary combined.
Responsibilities: we have Responsibilities And Duties Of The Role list. Use Responsibilities
with - .
Requirements: maybe Basic Qualifications as Requirements. Use
Requirements
with list.
Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications could be Qualifications
or maybe "Preferred Qualifications". But we can combine Basic and Preferred under Requirements and Qualifications? The instruction list includes Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We could put Basic Qualifications under Requirements, Preferred Qualifications under Qualifications, and maybe skills under Skills? But we have many skills listed in Preferred Qualifications. Could create a Skills section for technical skills. However we should avoid thin sections. Better to have Requirements (Basic Qualifications) and Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications). Skills maybe not needed.
Pay: we have hiring range. Use Pay
with paragraph.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID etc.
We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Not present.
We must preserve all substantive information. So we need to include all details from overview, job summary, responsibilities, basic qualifications, preferred qualifications, required education, pay range, bonus info? The bonus info is part of compensation; we could include in Pay section as note.
We must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep specifics like technologies, frameworks, etc.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
