Jenkins Job Builder: place Job in an existing folder

I'd need to get started with JJB however one issue I'm facing is that I'm not able to upload jobs in an existing Folder (I'm using Cloudbees Folder plugin). I've arranged an example based on an existing question available on SO:

- project:
name: playground

- job:

    name: sample_job 
    description: 'Automatically generated test'
    project-type: freestyle
    builders: 
      - shell: 'ls'

So the job should be loaded into the "playground" folder. However the syntax seems uncorrect:

  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/yaml/constructor.py", line 37, in get_single_data
    node = self.get_single_node()
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/yaml/composer.py", line 36, in get_single_node
    document = self.compose_document()
  File "/home/francesco/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/jenkins_jobs/local_yaml.py", line 282, in compose_document
    node = self.compose_node(None, None)
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/yaml/composer.py", line 82, in compose_node
    node = self.compose_sequence_node(anchor)
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/yaml/composer.py", line 110, in compose_sequence_node
    while not self.check_event(SequenceEndEvent):
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/yaml/parser.py", line 98, in check_event
    self.current_event = self.state()
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/yaml/parser.py", line 393, in parse_block_sequence_entry
    "expected <block end>, but found %r" % token.id, token.start_mark)
yaml.parser.ParserError: while parsing a block collection
  in "/home/francesco/git/tests-jobs/jobs/test.yaml", line 1, column 1
expected <block end>, but found '?'
  in "/home/francesco/git/tests-jobs/jobs/test.yaml", line 2, column 1

The existing answers provided so far on this question are related to folders created as part of JJB. In my case the folder has been already created ahead. Any help ?

@francesco, Basically you have to use jobs, job template to create a jenkins job. I have tried this based on your question and able to execute without failures. Check if this answers your question.

---
  - project:
      name: playground
      jobs:
        - sample_job

  - job-template:
      name: sample_job
      description: 'Automatically generated test'
      project-type: freestyle
      builders:
        - shell: 'ls'
