We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must preserve all substantive info, no boilerplate. Remove application instructions, EEO, etc. Also remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions.
We need to extract relevant content: mission, benefits, salary ranges, general description, essential job functions, minimum qualifications, preferred qualifications, KSAs.
We need to decide sections: maybe "About the role" (mission/general description), "Responsibilities" (essential job functions), "Requirements" (minimum qualifications), "Qualifications" (preferred qualifications?), "Skills" (KSAs), "Benefits" (benefits package), "Pay" (salary ranges), "Schedule" (maybe not present; there is mention of ability to work shifts etc but not explicit schedule; we could include schedule if there is info about work schedule: ability to work shifts that may exceed 8 hours, early mornings, nights, weekends; also ability to adhere to work schedules etc. Could be considered schedule. But we should only include if posting actually states them. It does mention ability to work shifts that may exceed 8 hours, including early mornings, nights, and weekends. Also ability to adhere to work schedules, follow procedures with respect to leave and submit accurate timesheets. That's schedule-related. So we could include a Schedule section.
But we need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". The posting includes "Salary commensurate with experience and qualifications" but also gives salary ranges. We should include Pay section with the ranges. The phrase "Salary commensurate with experience and qualifications" is filler? It's not a specific number; but we have actual ranges, so we can include Pay section with those ranges. The phrase "commensurate with experience and qualifications" could be omitted as filler? The instruction: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD"). So we should not include that phrase. We'll just list the ranges.
Benefits: posting mentions "competitive compensation and benefits package including medical, dental, vision, 401(k), flexible spending, and flexible work alternatives". Also link to benefits page. So we can include Benefits section with that list.
Now we need to format using

Now we need to format using for each section heading, then content: use
for prose,
- for lists. We must not include markdown fences. Just raw HTML. We need to preserve all substantive info; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from sections we keep. We need to be careful not to include boilerplate like EEO statement, application instructions, etc. Let's parse the posting and extract relevant bits.
