Staff Software Engineer 1

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. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate. We need to preserve all substantive info. Let's parse the posting: - Because of our work with the defense community, applicants must be U.S. citizens.*** (citizenship requirement) - ARA is seeking a Staff Software Engineer to be part of our team in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. - We are a 100% employee-owned scientific research and engineering company dedicated to solving critical national problems to improve our safety, security, and way of life. - You will work with other developers and engineers to design and develop products for a diverse range of clients. - As a member of our development team, you will work in an agile environment focused on delivering high-quality software to our clients. - What You Will Do: You will be a key member of ARA supporting multiple teams developing enterprise technologies to aid real-world operations for the Navy and military communities. As a valued member of our team your responsibilities will include: - Designing, developing, and debugging applications in C#, Java, or JavaScript - Frontend frameworks such as React, Angular, or Vue - Performing code analysis and review - Designing and implementing graphical user interfaces - Unit testing - Documenting software functionality - Software support after release - Staff Software Developer Required Technologies And Skills - BA/BS in Computer Science or a related field - 2+ years of professional software development experience - Strong troubleshooting and debugging skills - Experience with agile development methods - Experience with C# or Java - Experience developing Microsoft .NET applications - Experience with JavaScript - Strong oral and written communication skills - Ability to work effectively in small team settings - Licenses & Certifications: US citizen with the ability to obtain DoD Secret clearance - Preferred Qualifications: - Familiarity with relational databases and SQL - Experience with a frontend framework (React, Angular, or Vue) - Solid understanding of responsive web design - Experience with AWS services - High level of self-initiative and self-motivation with the ability to work under minimal supervision - Benefits Include: - 401K Matching - Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) - Health, Dental, and Vision Insurance - Paid holidays and Paid Time Off - About Us: description of ARA (company overview). This could be "About the role"? Actually "About Us" is company description. The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to map content accordingly. We have: - About the role: maybe the introductory paragraph describing role, location, company mission, agile environment, etc. Could be "About the role". We'll include that. - Responsibilities: list of duties (designing, developing, debugging, etc.) - Requirements: maybe the required technologies and skills (BA/BS, 2+ years, etc.) plus citizenship and clearance? Could be separate "Requirements" and "Qualifications". Usually "Requirements" are mandatory, "Qualifications" are preferred. We'll separate. - Skills: maybe list of technical skills (C#, Java, JavaScript, .NET, agile, etc.) but we already have them in requirements. Could combine. But we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps we can have "Requirements" covering education, experience, citizenship, clearance, technical skills. Then "Preferred Qualifications" covering preferred items. Then "Benefits". Pay and Schedule not mentioned, so omit. We also have "About Us" company description; could be placed under "About the role" or maybe a separate "About the company" but not in allowed headings. Since only allowed headings are those list, we could put company description under "About the role" as part of role description. Or we could omit if not fitting. But we must preserve ALL substantive information; we cannot drop company description. So we need to include it somewhere. The allowed headings include "About the role". We can include company description there as part of role context. Thus:

About the role

ARA is seeking a Staff Software Engineer to be part of our team in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. We are a 100% employee-owned scientific research and engineering company dedicated to solving critical national problems to improve our safety, security, and way of life. You will work with other developers and engineers to design and develop products for a diverse range of clients. As a member of our development team, you will work in an agile environment focused on delivering high-quality software to our clients. You will be a key member of ARA supporting multiple teams developing enterprise technologies to aid real-world operations for the Navy and military communities.

Then responsibilities list. Then Requirements (mandatory): BA/BS in Computer Science or related field, 2+ years professional software development experience, strong troubleshooting and debugging skills, experience with agile development methods, experience with C# or Java, experience developing Microsoft .NET applications, experience with JavaScript, strong oral and written communication skills, ability to work effectively in small team settings, US citizen with ability to obtain DoD Secret clearance. Then Preferred Qualifications: familiarity with relational databases and SQL, experience with a frontend framework (React, Angular, or Vue), solid understanding of responsive web design, experience with AWS services, high level of self-initiative and self-motivation with ability to work under minimal supervision. Then Benefits: 401K Matching, Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), Health, Dental, and Vision Insurance, Paid holidays and Paid Time Off. We might also include "Skills" section but we already covered technical skills in Requirements. Could create a Skills section listing languages/frameworks: C#, Java, JavaScript, .NET, React/Angular/Vue, etc. But that would be duplicate. Better to keep Requirements and Preferred Qualifications. We must not include Pay or Schedule sections as not specified. We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to output only HTML fragment. Let's craft. Be careful to not include any extra text outside HTML. We'll produce:

We might also include mention of location Baton Rouge, Louisiana in About the role. Check for any missing substantive info: The posting also mentions "Staff Software Developer Required Technologies And Skills" heading but we covered. Also "Licenses & Certifications" we included citizenship and clearance. Also "About Us" description we included partially in About the role (company overview). Did we include all details about ARA: employee-owned, scientific research and engineering company, solving critical national problems, improving safety, security, way of life, founded 1979, over 2,200 professionals, offices throughout US and Canada, technical expertise in defense, civil, health technologies, computer software and simulation, systems analysis, environmental technologies, testing and measurement, mention of Kubernetes clusters, RPN calculator, motto, etc. We omitted many of those details. We must preserve ALL substantive information. So we need to include those details somewhere. The "About Us" paragraph is substantive; we cannot drop it. We need to include it in the output. Where can we put it? Possibly under "About the role" as a paragraph after the role description. That would preserve it. Thus About the role section should include both role description and company overview. Let's incorporate all details from About Us: - Applied Research Associates, Inc. (aka ARA) is an employee-owned international research and engineering company known for providing technically superior solutions to complex and challenging problems in the physical sciences. - Founded in Albuquerque, NM in 1979 as the disco era was, thankfully, closing out and the personal computer era was beginning. - Employ over 2,200 professionals and continue to grow. - ARA offices throughout the U.S. and Canada provide a broad range of technical expertise in defense, civil, and health technologies, computer software and simulation, systems analysis, environmental technologies, and testing and measurement. - Around ARA you are equally likely to hear a conversation about Kubernetes clusters as you are a debate on merits of a reverse polish notation (RPN) calculator! - While this is all of the Year One and Beyond stuff, Day One is highly impressive too. These are things like our competitive salary, Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) & 401(k) with matching program, benefits package which includes medical, dental vision, flex spending, telehealth services, company-paid life & disability insurance including paid maternity disability leave through our company-paid short-term disability benefit, domestic partner coverage, dependent care flex spending, daycare discounts, pet insurance, relocation opportunities, floating holidays, tuition reimbursement, professional development as well as flexible schedules. - ARA also prides ourselves on having a challenging culture where innovation & experimentation are the norm. - At ARA, employees are our greatest assets, so we give our employees the tools, training, and opportunities to take active roles as owners. - The motto, “Engineering and Science for Fun and Profit” sums up the ARA experience. - The company realizes employee ownership spawns greater creativity and initiative along with higher performance and customer satisfaction levels. We already listed some benefits in Benefits section; but the About Us includes many more benefits (flex spending, telehealth, company-paid life & disability insurance, paid maternity disability leave, domestic partner coverage, dependent care flex spending, daycare discounts, pet insurance, relocation opportunities, floating holidays, tuition reimbursement, professional development, flexible schedules). We must preserve ALL substantive information; we cannot drop those. So we need to include them either in Benefits section (expand) or maybe in About the role. Since Benefits section is allowed, we should include all benefits there. The posting already listed "Benefits Include 401K Matching Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) Health, Dental, and Vision Insurance Paid holidays and Paid Time Off". Then later in About Us they list many more benefits. We should combine them into Benefits section, preserving all. Thus Benefits section should list: - 401K Matching -
