Staff Prototyping Engineer, Android
for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). But we should only include sections when posting has real specific content. We need to map content to appropriate headings.
We have:
- About Salesforce (company overview) – could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is a heading for role description. But we have separate "About Salesforce" is company description; maybe we can treat as "About the role"? Not exactly. The instructions: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should use those standard headings. We need to decide which sections map.
We have content: "About Salesforce", "About Slack", "The Team", "The Role", "What You'll Do", "What We're Looking For", "Preferred Qualifications", "Unleash Your Potential", benefits (salary range). Also mention accommodations etc but we should remove boilerplate.
We need to produce sections only when there is real specific content.
Potential sections:
- About the role: could combine "About Salesforce", "About Slack", "The Team", "The Role". But maybe better to have separate sections: "About the role" (role description), "Responsibilities" (What You'll Do), "Requirements" (What We're Looking For), "Qualifications" (Preferred Qualifications), "Skills" (maybe combine), "Benefits" (salary range and benefits), "Pay" (salary range), "Schedule" (not present). We should not create empty sections.
We have salary range info: "The typical base salary range for this position is $197,300 - $313,700 annually. In select cities within the San Francisco and New York City metropolitan area, the base salary range for this role is $237,700 - $344,700 annually." That's pay info. Also benefits: "Salesforce offers a variety of benefits to help you live well including: time off programs, medical, dental, vision, mental health support, paid parental leave, life and disability insurance, 401(k), and an employee stock purchasing program." So we have benefits.
Thus we can have sections:
- About the role (company/team overview)
- Responsibilities (What You'll Do)
- Requirements (What We're Looking For)
- Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications)
- Benefits (benefits list)
- Pay (salary range)
We should not include Schedule as not present.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID etc.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like bullet points.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
Thus for each section we need to decide if content is prose or list.
Let's extract content:
About Salesforce: paragraph about Salesforce being #1 AI CRM etc.
About Slack: paragraph about Slack being Digital HQ.
The Team: paragraph about Slack Mobile team.
The Role: paragraph describing role as Staff Engineer/Prototyping Engineer.
What You'll Do: list of bullet points starting with "You will:" then bullet points each starting with a verb.
We need to convert those bullet points to
- .
What We're Looking For: list of bullet points (starting with "8+ years..." etc). Also includes "A related technical degree required." maybe as separate bullet.
Preferred Qualifications: list of bullet points.
Benefits: list of benefits (time off programs, medical, dental, vision, mental health support, paid parental leave, life and disability insurance, 401(k), and an employee stock purchasing program). Also maybe mention accommodations? but we remove boilerplate.
Pay: salary range paragraphs.
We need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We must not include duplicated lines.
We must remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we need to cut out the accommodations paragraph, AI tools statement, Privacy Statement, Posting Statement about equal opportunity, etc. Also remove "To get the best candidate experience, please consider applying for a maximum of 3 roles within 12 months..." etc. Also remove "Job Category Software Engineering". Also remove "Apply today to not only shape the future — but to redefine what’s possible — for yourself, for AI, and the world." That's promotional but maybe considered boilerplate? It's part of "Unleash Your Potential". Might be considered substantive? It's more marketing but still part of posting. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. "Unleash Your Potential" is not exactly those; it's a motivational section. Might keep? But we need to decide if we want a section for it. Could be part of "About the role" or separate "Overview". But we have limited headings. Could incorporate into About the role.
Better to keep only sections we defined.
Thus we will produce:
About the role
About Salesforce ... About Slack ... The Team ... The Role ...
maybe combine into paragraphs.
But we need to preserve all substantive information; we can't omit details. So we need to include all those paragraphs.
We can separate into multiple elements.
Thus:
About the role
About Salesforce: Salesforce is the #1 AI CRM, where humans with agents drive customer success together. Here, ambition meets action. Tech meets trust.
