My guess was the Google line and "Plan on working ~100+ hours a week during sprints. If that scares you, don’t apply." The 100 hours is a little extreme, but I've seen things similar to "If that scares you, don’t apply." in descriptions before.

From the first link:

> Plan on working ~100+ hours a week during sprints

And the second:

> A lot of companies equate putting in long hours with productivity. We think thats nonsense.

wow.. so many gems in there

advanced JS (jquery doesn't count, cmon).

A big plus if you've scaled products to tens of millions of users

We'd love it if you've dealt with optimizing DB clusters, hadoop, relational DBs, Mongo, Node.js

~100+ hours a week during sprints

Unlimited vacation days

it's like someone had a brain fart of a job description during a drinking session and then went "fuck it, hey Bob watch this. <submit>"

And with less than 3 years experience!
