The posting includes repeated Benefits paragraph twice; we need to include only once. We need to preserve all substantive information.

  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

We’re looking for a hands-on technical leader to run customer support and lead a team of five support engineers. You will be Obsidian’s technical lead for complex customer support issues: helping engineers investigate difficult cases, taking ownership of critical escalations, and working with Product and Engineering to drive them to resolution. You will also manage the team day-to-day, coaching engineers, setting priorities, maintaining coverage, and building a consistently strong customer experience. As we introduce automation and agentic AI into support, you will help the team adopt new ways of working and use what you learn from customer issues to improve those systems. This role is suited to someone who enjoys both solving hard technical problems and developing the people who solve them." That's the About the role section. - What You’ll Do: list of bullet points (each starts with a verb). We'll put under Responsibilities heading

Build deep expertise in Obsidian’s platform and the SaaS, identity, API, and security environments our customers rely on. 5. Raise the team’s technical capability through case reviews, troubleshooting guidance, documentation, and coaching. 6.

Nice to have (optional) maybe we can include as part of Requirements or separate Skills? The instruction: Use section headings like Skills. Could create a Skills section for nice-to-have. But we can also include them under Requirements as "Nice to have". However they said "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it". Nice to have is specific content; we could make a Skills section. But we already have Requirements; we could add a Skills section for nice-to-have. Let's do that:

          with details. We should not include boilerplate like EEO, equal-opportunity, etc. Also remove duplicated Benefits paragraph. We also need to include maybe a short paragraph about company description? Not required but could be included as intro before sections. The instruction: "Use

          for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't forbid other headings, but we should stick to those. We could include a brief intro as

          before sections. Let's construct HTML:
