<think> Okay, let's tackle this job description cleanup. The user wants me to preserve the original structure and wording but clean up the markdown. First, I need to go through the provided content and identify the sections.

The original has sections like "Your Mission", "What We're Looking For", etc. Wait, looking at the page content, the sections are titled differently. The user mentioned to keep the company's original sections. Let me check the page content again.

The page starts with the job title, then location, employment type, etc. Then there's a section titled "The Company", "The Role", "Your Responsibilities", "Who You’ll Work With", "Profile We’re Looking For", "Why Join Filigran?", "Compensation & Benefits", "Equal Employment Opportunity", and "Ready to Join Us?".

The user's instructions say to preserve the company's original sections and headings. So I need to make sure those headings are kept as they are, but formatted correctly. The formatting rules specify using ### for section headings, not ## or #. Also, use - for bullet points, not

• or *.

Looking at the original markdown, some sections have headings with emojis like 🌀 The Company. The user says to preserve the original wording, so those emojis should stay. But the formatting rules mention using bold for emphasis where the original uses bold. Wait, in the original, some text is bold, like "💼 Your Responsibilities" and "🤝 Who You’ll Work With". So I need to make sure those are in bold.

Also, the user says to remove "Apply Now" buttons, social links, legal/EEO/GDPR disclaimers, AI hiring notices. The last section "Ready to Join Us?" has a link to apply, which should be removed. The "Equal Employment Opportunity" section is a legal disclaimer, so that should be kept but the apply link removed.

Now, the original markdown uses some markdown elements like bold, bullet points, and emojis. I need to normalize the markdown formatting. For example, the section headings are using ##, but the user wants ###. So I'll change those. Also, bullet points are using - correctly, but I need to check for any other list types.

Another thing: the original has some text in bold, like "Your Mission" in the example, but in the provided content, the sections are titled with emojis and bold text. For example, "🌀 The Company" is bold. Wait, in the original content, the section headings are in bold? Let me check the original content again.

Looking at the page content, the sections like "## 🌀 The Company" are using markdown headings with emojis. The user's formatting rules say to use ### for section headings. So I need to convert those from ## to ###. Also, the original uses bold for some section titles, like "💼 Your Responsibilities" which is in bold. So I need to ensure that the bold is preserved where the original uses it.

Also, the user says to remove duplicate content. For example, if the company info is already in the "The Company" section, don't add a separate "About Us" section. The original doesn't have an "About Us" section, so that's okay.

Now, going through each section:

1. The job title is "Senior Legal Counsel @ Filigran" and the location, employment type, etc. Those are probably headers that should be removed since the user wants to strip navigation, headers, footers, etc. So I'll skip those.

2. The section "## 🌀 The Company" should become ### 🌀 The Company, and the content is preserved. The original has a bold heading, so maybe the emoji is part of the heading. Wait, the original has "## 🌀 The Company" which is a markdown heading. The user wants ### for section headings, so change that. Also, the text after the emoji is "The Company", which is not bold. Wait, in the original, is "The Company" bold? Let me check again. The original has "## 🌀 The Company" as a heading. The emoji is part of the heading, and the text "The Company" is not bold. So I need to keep the emoji and the text as is, but change the heading level to ###.

3. The section "## 🎯 The Role" becomes ### 🎯 The Role. The content under it is the role description.

4. "## 💼 Your Responsibilities" becomes ### 💼 Your Responsibilities. The original uses bold for the heading, so that's preserved.

5. Similarly for the other sections: "## **🤝 Who You’ll Work With" becomes ### 🤝 Who You’ll Work With.

6. "## **🧬 Profile We’re Looking For" becomes ### 🧬 Profile We’re Looking For.

7. "## 🌱 **Why Join Filigran? More than just a job." becomes ### 🌱 Why Join Filigran? More than just a job.

8. "## **💰 Compensation & Benefits" becomes ### 💰 Compensation & Benefits.

9. "## **🌍 Equal Employment Opportunity" becomes ### 🌍 Equal Employment Opportunity.

10. "## **🚀 Ready to Join Us?" becomes ### 🚀 Ready to Join Us?.

Also, the user says to remove "Apply Now" buttons and the link. The "Ready to Join Us?" section has a link to apply, which should be removed. So I'll delete that link.

Now, checking for any other markdown elements. The original uses bullet points with -, which is correct. Some sections have bold text, which is preserved. The user wants to remove duplicate content, but in this case, there's no duplication. The original doesn't have an "About Us" section, so that's okay.

Also, the user mentioned to strip navigation, headers, footers, cookie banners, etc. The original has the job title at the top, which is part of the content, so it's kept. The other headers like location, employment type, etc., are part of the job details and should be kept as they are. Wait, the user's instructions say to strip navigation, headers, footers, etc. But the job title and location are part of the job description, so they should be included.

Wait, the user says: "Strip navigation, headers, footers, cookie banners, and other page chrome". So the initial sections like "Senior Legal Counsel @ Filigran", the location, employment type, etc., are part of the page chrome and should be stripped. But the user also says: "If the description already starts with company info (e.g. 'We Are X', 'About Us'), keep it as-is — do NOT add a separate About section that duplicates it". In this case, the "The Company" section is part of the content, so the initial headers like location, employment type, etc., are probably page chrome and should be removed.

Wait, the original content starts with:

Senior Legal Counsel @ Filigran

• 

Then the main content starts with # Senior Legal Counsel, which is a heading. But according to the user's instruction, these initial elements (like the job title, the image links, etc.) are part of the page chrome and should be stripped. So the first line "Senior Legal Counsel @ Filigran" is part of the page chrome and should be removed. The image links and the empty list item are also page chrome and should be stripped.

So the actual job description starts with the # Senior Legal Counsel heading. But the user's formatting rules say to use ### for section headings. So the # Senior Legal Counsel should be converted to ### Senior Legal Counsel. However, the user's instructions say to preserve the company's original structure and wording. But the original has the job title as a heading. However, the user wants to strip navigation, headers, footers, etc. So maybe the job title is part of the page chrome and should be stripped. Wait, the user says: "Strip navigation, headers, footers, cookie banners, and other page chrome". The job title is part of the page content, not the chrome. So perhaps it's kept. But the user also says to remove "Apply Now" buttons, etc. So maybe the initial headers like location, employment type, etc., are part of the page chrome and should be removed.

This is a bit ambiguous. Let me check the original content again. The original starts with:

Senior Legal Counsel @ Filigran

• 

Then the main content starts with # Senior Legal Counsel. So the job title is part of the page content. The user's instruction says to strip navigation, headers, footers, etc. So the initial lines with the job title, image links, etc., are page chrome and should be removed. Therefore, the main content starts with the # Senior Legal Counsel heading. However, the user's formatting rules say to use ### for section headings, so that should be converted to ### Senior Legal Counsel. But the user also says to preserve the company's original structure and wording. So maybe the original structure is to have the job title as a heading, but the user wants to convert it to ###.

Alternatively, maybe the user wants to keep the original structure but clean up the markdown. So the original has # Senior Legal Counsel, which should be converted to ### Senior Legal Counsel. Then the sections like "## Location" become ### Location, etc. But the user's instruction says to preserve the company's original section structure and wording. So the original has the job title as a heading, and the sections like "Location", "Employment Type", etc., which are part of the job description.

But the user's instruction says to strip navigation, headers, footers, etc. So the initial lines with the job title, image links, and empty list item are stripped. Then the main content starts with the # Senior Legal Counsel heading, which should be converted to ###. Then the sections like "## Location" become ### Location, etc.

So, after stripping the initial page chrome, the main content starts with # Senior Legal Counsel, which becomes ### Senior Legal Counsel. Then the rest of the sections are converted from ## to ###, and any bold text is preserved.

Also, the user says to remove "Apply Now" buttons, social links, legal/EEO/GDPR disclaimers, AI hiring notices. The "Ready to Join Us?" section has a link to apply, which should be removed. The "Equal Employment Opportunity" section is a legal disclaimer, so it's kept.

Now, putting it all together, the cleaned-up markdown should have the sections converted to ###, the bold headings preserved, bullet points using -, and the apply link removed. </think>
