We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we have "About Us" but we should not repeat job title. Use headings for sections: About the role? The posting includes "About Us" (company description). Could treat as "About the role"? The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to map content accordingly.
We have sections: About Us (company overview) -> could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is about the job, not company. But we can still use "About the role" heading for the description of the role (What You'll Do). However we also have "What You'll Do" which is responsibilities. So we could have:

We have sections: About Us (company overview) -> could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is about the job, not company. But we can still use "About the role" heading for the description of the role (What You'll Do). However we also have "What You'll Do" which is responsibilities. So we could have:
About the role
with the company overview? Might be odd but instruction says use those headings as examples; we can choose appropriate headings based on content. Probably better: "About the role" for the description of the role (What You'll Do). But we also have "What You'll Do" which is responsibilities. Could combine? The instruction: "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we should produce headings that match those categories if content exists.
Thus we need sections:
- About the role: maybe the "About Us" paragraph? Actually "About Us" is company overview, not role. But we could still put it under About the role? Might be misaligned. However we could also omit About the role if no specific content? But we have company overview; maybe we treat as "About the role" anyway.
- Responsibilities: from "What You'll Do" bullet points.
- Requirements: from "What You'll Need" (experience, degree, etc.)
- Qualifications: maybe overlapping with Requirements; but we could treat "What Will Help You On The Job" as Qualifications or Skills.
- Skills: maybe the "What Will Help You On The Job" list.
- Pay: salary range.
- Benefits: mention benefits and link.
- Schedule: hybrid 3 days a week.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID.
We must remove boilerplate: EEO statement, accommodation request, etc. Also remove navigation/cookie/legal.
We must preserve all substantive information.
Let's extract content:
About Us paragraph: "One team. Global challenges. Infinite opportunities. At Viasat, we’re on a mission to deliver connections with the capacity to change the world. For more than 35 years, Viasat has helped shape how consumers, businesses, governments and militaries around the globe communicate. We’re looking for people who think big, act fearlessly, and create an inclusive environment that drives positive impact to join our team."

Pay: Salary range $120,500.00 - $190,000.00 / annually. For specific work locations within San Jose, the San Francisco Bay area and New York City metropolitan area, the base pay range for this role is $149,500.00- $224,500.00/ annually. At Viasat, we consider many factors when it comes to compensation, including the scope of the position as well as your background and experience.

Benefits: Learn more about Viasat’s comprehensive benefit offerings that are focused on your holistic health and wellness at https://careers.viasat.com/benefits.
Schedule: Already covered in requirements (hybrid 3 days a week). Could also be separate Schedule section.
We need to avoid duplication: The hybrid schedule appears in requirements; we could move to Schedule section and remove from requirements? But we must preserve all substantive information; we can keep it in both places? Better to keep it only once under Schedule and remove from requirements to avoid duplication. However the instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." Duplicated lines: we should not duplicate same info. So we should extract schedule info and put under Schedule heading, and not repeat it elsewhere.
Thus we need to adjust: In Requirements, we should not include "Must be able to come into the office 3 days a week; hybrid". Instead put that under Schedule.
Similarly, location info: "This role can work out of the Carlsbad, CA, Germantown, MD or Reston, VA office" could be under Requirements or maybe under About the role? Could be under Requirements as location requirement. We'll keep it under Requirements.
Now Benefits: we have a sentence about benefits and a link. We'll put under Benefits.
Pay: we have salary range details.
Now About the role: maybe we combine the "About Us" paragraph and maybe also a brief description of the role? The "What You'll Do" is responsibilities. So About the role could be the company overview. We'll put that.
Now we need to output HTML fragment only, with headings and - for lists,
for prose.
We must not include any markdown fences.
