We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes Position Summary, Role summary, About the team, What you'll do, What you'll bring, About Walmart Global Tech, Flexible, hybrid work, Benefits, etc. Also includes salary range, additional compensation, etc. We must not repeat job title as heading. Use for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to map content to these headings appropriately. Use
for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to map content to these headings appropriately. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose. Do NOT include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Must include only sections with real specific content.
We need to preserve all substantive information, but we can reformat. Remove boilerplate: Immigration Sponsorship support will NOT be available, EEO, legal, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate.
We need to include sections: About the role (maybe role summary), Responsibilities (What you'll do), Requirements/Qualifications (What you'll bring + Minimum Qualifications), Skills (maybe technical skills), Benefits, Pay (salary range), Schedule (Flexible, hybrid work). Also maybe About the team could be part of About the role? But we can include a separate section like About the team? The instruction says use headings e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. It doesn't forbid other headings, but we should prefer those. However we can include About the team as part of About the role or maybe as a separate section like About the team. But to be safe, we can include About the role (covering role summary and about the team). Responsibilities (What you'll do). Requirements (Minimum Qualifications). Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications). Skills (What you'll bring). Benefits (Benefits section). Pay (salary range). Schedule (Flexible, hybrid work). Also maybe include About Walmart Global Tech as part of About the role? Could be included in About the role or maybe as a separate section like Company Overview. But not required.
We must not include headings with empty content. Ensure each heading has substantive content.
We need to use
for each section heading.
Inside each section, we can have
for prose and
- for lists.
We need to preserve all substantive information: e.g., role summary details, team description, responsibilities list, what you'll bring list, about Walmart Global Tech paragraph, benefits details, pay range, schedule details.
We must remove boilerplate: Immigration Sponsorship support will NOT be available, Equal Opportunity Employer, etc. Also remove lines like "The above information has been designed to indicate the general nature..." etc. Also remove "Live Better U" maybe it's part of benefits? It is a benefit; we can keep it as part of benefits. However it's somewhat detailed; we can keep.
We need to ensure we don't include duplicated lines.
Let's extract substantive content:

So there is no content; we should not create a Preferred Qualifications section because it would be empty. So we skip.
We could combine Minimum Qualifications into Requirements or Qualifications. The instruction says use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We can have Requirements (minimum qualifications) and Qualifications (maybe preferred? but none). Or we could have Requirements (minimum) and Skills (what you'll bring). Let's decide:

Could be separate but we can include About the role (role summary + about the team) and maybe About Walmart Global Tech as part of About the role or separate section like Company Overview.

- Requirements: Minimum Qualifications.
- Skills: What you'll bring (technical skills and experience).
