Devil's advocate: I like it when ads have the technologies as keywords. Preferably listed explicitly & directly. I have arbitrary preferences like Apache Camel v Spring Integration & Ansible v Puppet. I'm not on the market looking, but I do occasionally peak to see if there are dream jobs available on Craigslist/StackOverflow.

Even if I can quickly grok the equivalent, I'd get frustrated after a months/years of solving problems using my less preferred stack. The stack can also tell you a lot about the philosophy of the shop: flexibility vs. convention/readability, stability vs. cutting-edge.
