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. The posting includes many paragraphs. We need to extract content and map to sections. We must not repeat job title. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "You must be work authorized in the United States without the need for employer sponsorship." That's a requirement? It's a requirement but maybe we can include under Requirements. However it's a legal requirement; but it's not boilerplate? It's a requirement. We can include. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Use

for section headings. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. We need to decide sections. The posting includes: - Intro paragraph: "Are you energized by designing complex, data-rich workflows..." That's about the role. Could be About the role. - Then "As a Product Designer at Ridgeline, you’ll help modernize..." That's responsibilities. - Then bullet list under "The Impact You Will Have": many bullet points (starting with "Reimagine workflows..." etc). Those are responsibilities. - Then "What We Look For": list of requirements/qualifications/skills. - Then "Bonus Experience...": additional qualifications/skills. - Then "About Ridgeline": company description; could be About the role? Actually it's about company. Could be separate section but not in allowed list; we could put under About the role or maybe omit? The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should map content to those headings. "About Ridgeline" could be part of About the role or maybe we can include as About the role (company overview). We'll include a brief paragraph under About the role. - Then "Compensation And Benefits": includes Pay and Benefits details. Also mentions unlimited vacation etc. So we need Pay and Benefits sections. - Schedule: not mentioned. So we should not include Schedule heading. - Also there is "You must be work authorized..." which is a requirement. We must not include placeholder text like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to ensure we don't create sections with filler. So include only those with real content. Thus sections: - About the role: include intro paragraph + As a Product Designer... + About Ridgeline description. - Responsibilities: include bullet list under "The Impact You Will Have". Also maybe the earlier sentence about partnering with PMs etc. Could be part of responsibilities. - Requirements: include "What We Look For" bullet list (the main qualifications). Also include work authorization statement. - Qualifications: maybe separate from Requirements? The posting lumps them together. But we need to decide: Could treat "What We Look For" as Requirements and Qualifications combined. But we need to output both headings only if we have content. Could split: Requirements = mandatory experience (6+ years, interaction design, etc). Qualifications = maybe the bonus experience? Or we could treat Requirements as the main list, Qualifications as bonus. But we need to avoid thin sections. Might be better to combine into one section, but we have to follow allowed headings. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we should avoid creating many thin sections. So maybe we combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section called "Requirements". Or we could have Requirements and Skills. Let's see. The posting includes: - 6+ years experience designing and shipping successful digital product experiences - Strong interaction design, systems thinking, visual design, and prototyping skills - Experience designing complex workflows, data-intensive applications, or enterprise software platforms - Active AI-native workflow experience using tools like Claude, Cursor, or Claude Code as part of daily product and design practice - Ability to simplify technically complex systems into intuitive user experiences - Experience collaborating closely with engineering teams to deliver thoughtful, scalable solutions - Strong storytelling, communication, and presentation skills - Ability to mentor and coach other designers while raising quality across a broader organization - Experience gathering customer insights and translating findings into actionable product improvements - Ability to manage ambiguity, prioritize effectively, and drive clarity across cross-functional teams - Strong problem-solving skills and a high level of product ownership - Willingness to learn about cutting-edge technologies while cultivating expertise in investment management workflows and order management systems - Ability to communicate effectively with colleagues at all levels - A shareable portfolio (attachment or online) Then Bonus Experience: - Experience in financial services, investment management, trading platforms, or other complex financial products - Experience conducting user research and usability testing - Proficiency with modern front-end technologies including React, JavaScript/TypeScript, and CSS - Experience contributing to design systems and design-to-code workflows - Experience designing AI-native product experiences including agentic behavior, transparency patterns, confidence cues, and user controls Thus we could have: - Requirements: the main list (mandatory) - Skills: maybe the bonus list? Or we could treat Skills as the main list and Requirements as the bonus? Hmm. Better: Use Requirements for the mandatory list, Skills for the bonus list (since they are additional skills). Qualifications maybe not needed. But we need to decide if we should include Qualifications heading. If we don't have specific content for Qualifications, we should omit it. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Benefits, Pay. We must not include Schedule. Now we need to format lists with

    • . For prose, use

      . We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the exact wording? Probably we can keep the sentences as is, but we can break into paragraphs. We must not repeat job title. So no heading for "Product Designer". Good. We must not include duplicated lines. Ensure we don't repeat same bullet. Now craft HTML. Start with
