Hybrid$133k–$216k/yrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description paragraphs before responsibilities. We need to use for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include a section only when posting has real specific content. We have content for About the role (the initial description paragraphs). Responsibilities: there is a "Responsibilities:" heading with bullet list. Requirements/Qualifications: there is "Qualifications" with Basic and Preferred. Skills: there is "Suggested Skills". Benefits: not explicitly listed; there is mention of total compensation package includes annual performance bonus, stock, benefits etc but not specific benefits. The instruction: never create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It mentions "benefits" generically but not specific list. Probably we should not create Benefits section. Pay: there is pay range $133,000 to $216,000. So we can include Pay section. Schedule: not mentioned (hybrid work location described but not schedule). There's mention of hybrid work location but not schedule specifics. Probably we should not create Schedule section unless explicit. There's mention of hybrid meaning performed both from home and office on select days. That could be considered schedule? But it's about work location. The instruction: include Schedule only if posting actually states them. It does mention hybrid work arrangement but not schedule like full-time, part-time, shift. Might be considered schedule? Safer to omit Schedule.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent. Remove boilerplate like LinkedIn intro, EEO, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, navigation, cookie, legal, EEO, scam-warning, application instructions. Also remove "Additional Information" maybe but we need to keep pay range. The "Additional Information" includes pay range and total compensation package mention. We'll keep pay range and maybe mention total compensation includes bonus, stock, benefits etc? That's substantive but not a list. Could be included in Pay section as prose.

We need to format: About the role
then paragraphs describing role: location hybrid, focus on Field Engineering and owner-side Infrastructure Delivery, scope etc. We'll combine into maybe one or two paragraphs.

with - each bullet from responsibilities list.
Then
Qualifications
maybe split into Basic and Preferred? Could keep as one section with subheadings? But only allowed headings are those listed; we could still include for Basic Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications inside the section. Or we could create two sections: Requirements and Qualifications? The instruction says use headings for those exact names. We have both Basic Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. Could treat them as Qualifications section with subparts. Or we could have Requirements (maybe basic) and Qualifications (preferred). But we have both. Safer: one
Qualifications
and inside we have paragraphs for Basic Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications.
Then Skills
with list of suggested skills.
Then Pay
with paragraph about pay range and total compensation.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID.
We must output only HTML fragment.
Let's extract responsibilities list exactly as given:

This may be different in other locations due to differences in the cost of labor. The total compensation package for this position may also include annual performance bonus, stock, benefits and/or other applicable incentive compensation plans.
We'll put that in a paragraph.
Now About the role: The initial paragraphs: "LinkedIn is the world's largest professional network..." but that's boilerplate? It's generic LinkedIn description; might be considered boilerplate? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The LinkedIn intro might be considered boilerplate but it's part of job description? It's generic about LinkedIn; maybe we should keep the role-specific description after that: "Job Description This role will be based in Hillsboro, OR. At LinkedIn, our approach to flexible work is centered on trust and optimized for culture, connection, clarity, and the evolving needs of our business. The work location of this role is hybrid, meaning it will be performed both from home and from a LinkedIn office on select days, as determined by the business needs of the team. This role focuses on Field Engineering and owner-side Infrastructure Delivery, ensuring data center infrastructure is planned, built, validated, commissioned, and transitioned into reliable production operation. The scope includes mechanical, electrical, cooling, liquid cooling, controls, low-voltage, and white space systems supporting high-density compute environments. You will provide both Construction Management (CM) oversight and Field Engineering (FE) leadership across system-level execution and physical infrastructure deployment activities in active construction and operational settings. This position spans the full infrastructure lifecycle, including planning, construction execution, commissioning, turnover, and operational support for data center capacity. Success in this role requires the ability to balance technical requirements, field conditions, schedule, cost, safety, quality, and long-term operational reliability."
We should keep that as About the role. Remove the initial generic LinkedIn mission statement? It's not specific to role; could be considered boilerplate. Safer to start from "Job Description". We'll include that as About the role.
Now produce HTML.
We need to ensure no extra whitespace? Just output.
