SR Software Engineer - C++

We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We need to parse the posting. First, we need to extract sections. The posting: "Verisign helps enable the security, stability, and resiliency of the internet. We are a trusted provider of internet infrastructure services for the networked world and deliver unmatched performance in domain name system (DNS) services.We are a mission focused, values driven company where each individual can contribute to building a stronger, more secure internet. We offer a dynamic and flexible work environment with competitive benefits and the ability to grow your career. The Team:Verisign’s Resolution Engineering team is a high performing, Agile team who builds horizontally scalable, high performance, and highly available systems. As part of the team, you will be responsible for designing and implementing new features for resolution products. You will be writing the software that fundamentally enables the internet to operate at scale. We are seeking a motivated Software Engineer to join our team. The successful candidate will support the design, development, integration, testing, deployment, and maintenance of software solutions in a collaborative Agile environment. This role provides an excellent opportunity to gain hands-on experience with modern software engineering practices, including software integration, vulnerability management, automated testing, and CI/CD pipeline development." That's about the role and responsibilities. Then "The Person:" paragraph describing ideal candidate. Then "A successful candidate will have:" bullet list (but not bullet format, just sentences). Then "Required Skills:" with subcategories. Then "Developer Traits:" list. Then "Relevant Experience:" Bachelor's degree etc. Then "This position is based in our Reston, VA office and offers a hybrid work schedule." Then "The pay range is $135,800 - $183,800." Then "The anticipated annual base salary range for this position is noted above, however, base pay offered may vary depending on job-related knowledge, skills, experience. Verisign offers a discretionary bonus which is based on individual and company performance, and certain roles may be eligible for discretionary stock awards." We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Not present. We need to output sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide what content goes where. About the role: maybe the introductory paragraph about Verisign and team. Responsibilities: tasks like designing and implementing new features, writing software, supporting design, development, integration, testing, deployment, maintenance, gaining hands-on experience with modern practices. Requirements: maybe the "The Person" paragraph? Or "A successful candidate will have:"? Actually "Requirements" could be the list of traits/skills needed. Qualifications: education and experience (Bachelor's degree, 8+ years). Skills: the Required Skills and Developer Traits. Benefits: maybe mention "competitive benefits and the ability to grow your career" and "discretionary bonus" and "discretionary stock awards". Also "dynamic and flexible work environment". Benefits section should be included only if posting actually states them. It does mention competitive benefits, ability to grow career, discretionary bonus, stock awards. So we can include Benefits. Pay: we have pay range $135,800 - $183,800. Also mention discretionary bonus and stock awards but those are benefits. Pay section should contain the range. Schedule: hybrid work schedule mentioned. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual specifics. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers. We must use

for section headings. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

  for prose. We need to decide what is a list vs prose. We can turn responsibilities into

  • . Requirements maybe also list. Qualifications maybe list. Skills maybe list. Benefits maybe list. Pay maybe just

    with the range. Schedule maybe

    with hybrid. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. We must not omit any substantive info. So we need to include all details from the posting.

Verisign offers a discretionary bonus which is based on individual and company performance, and certain roles may be eligible for discretionary stock awards. We need to avoid duplication: some sentences repeat. We need to decide sections. About the role: Could include the introductory paragraphs about Verisign, mission, team description, opportunity. Responsibilities: list of duties: designing and implementing new features for resolution products, writing software enabling internet at scale, supporting design, development, integration, testing, deployment, maintenance, gaining hands-on experience with modern practices (software integration, vulnerability management, automated testing, CI/CD pipeline development). Also participating in standup, grooming, planning, taking ownership of features, working closely with team members, maintaining health of dev environments, troubleshooting. Requirements: maybe the "A successful candidate will have:" bullet list (track record, craftsmanship, passion for best practices, curious mindset, skill interacting). Also maybe the "Developer Traits" could be part of Requirements or Skills. But we need to follow typical sections: Requirements often list mandatory qualifications; Qualifications list education/experience; Skills list technical skills; Benefits list compensation/perks; Pay separate; Schedule separate. We have "Required Skills" and "Developer Traits". Those could go under Skills. "Relevant Experience" could go under Qualifications. "The Person" paragraph maybe part of About the role? But it's describing ideal candidate; could go under Requirements or Qualifications. However we already have Required Skills and Developer Traits; The Person paragraph includes some overlapping content (strong fundamentals, maintaining dev environments, participating in standup, ownership, etc). Some of that is more about responsibilities/behavior. Might be better to put under Responsibilities (daily standup, grooming, planning, ownership, working closely, maintaining health). But we already have responsibilities list. We need to ensure we don't lose any substantive info. Let's try to allocate: About the role: Verisign description, mission, team description, opportunity to gain experience. Responsibilities: designing/implementing new features, writing software enabling internet at scale, supporting design/development/integration/testing/deployment/maintenance, participating in daily standup meetings, grooming and planning sessions, taking ownership of features from design to delivery, working closely with team members to master software and make positive impact, maintaining health of development environments including troubleshooting and resolving. Requirements: track record for high quality and impactful delivery demonstrating strong design skills and passion for code quality; true craftsmanship, enjoys breaking down tough problems, working with team to deliver valuable solutions; passion for software development best practices (automated testing, code reviews, CI/CD); curious mindset, agent for change, constantly learning and seeking better outcomes; skill at interacting and working with people proactively to mitigate key project technical risks and ensure quality. Qualifications: Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent work experience; 8+ years of relevant work experience in software development.
