HybridProductFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use

for each heading only if content exists. No job title heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Company Description: "Company Description VERSANT (Nasdaq: VSNT) is an industry-changing media and entertainment business..." This is company description; could be part of "About the role"? Usually "About the role" is about the job, but we can put company description under "About the role" maybe. The instruction: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to decide which sections have content. We have: - Responsibilities: many bullet points (list). We'll output
  • each. - Qualifications: includes "Must have a bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience. 2+ years of experience..." Also "Desired Qualifications" separate but could be part of Qualifications or Skills. We'll treat Qualifications as required qualifications; Desired Qualifications could go under Skills or maybe also Qualifications. But we have separate headings for Skills. We could put desired qualifications under Skills. - Additional Job Requirements: location, work authorization, flexible hours, hybrid, benefits eligibility. That could go under Requirements? Actually "Additional Job Requirements" includes location, work auth, flexible hours, hybrid. Could be under Requirements. - Benefits: "This position is eligible for company sponsored benefits, including medical, dental, and vision insurance, 401(k), paid leave, tuition reimbursement, and a variety of other discounts and perks." That's benefits. - Pay: "Salary Range: $75,000 - $80,000". That's pay. - Schedule: Not explicitly given, but we have flexible hours, early mornings, evenings, weekends, holidays, extended hours as required. That's schedule info. So we can put schedule. - About the role: Could include company description and job description summary: "MS NOW is looking for a Writing Associate Producer for The Briefing with Jen Psaki. This position is represented by the Writers Guild of America East." Also maybe the job description paragraph. We must not repeat job title as heading. So we can include that in About the role. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, accommodation, etc. Remove those. Also remove duplicated lines: there are duplicates in qualifications (strong research, writing, organizational, and communication skills appears twice). We should keep only one instance? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. But duplicates are not substantive new info; we could keep them but they'd be repetitive. Probably better to deduplicate to avoid filler. However "preserve ALL substantive information" might mean we shouldn't lose any unique info; duplicates can be removed as they are not adding new info. I'd deduplicate. Also "Strong research, writing, organizational, and communication skills." appears twice in qualifications; also later "Excellent communication and interpersonal skills." etc. We'll produce sections:

    About the role
