Soo...lots of responsibilities and a warning to probably not expect an adjusted salary to match them ('Annual Salary: Negotiable, but you should know up front we’re not a terribly money-motivated group'), with these 2 as a minimum:

- A BA/BS or greater degree in Computer Science or a related field

- A minimum of 3 years in development and project management, preferably in a professional workplace

In Seattle no less, with the expectation that you'll be on call 24/7 should they need you to fix something. I don't live in the U.S, but I have a hard time seeing how a truly qualified professional with a minimum of 3 years of experience in all the domains they mentioned would sign up for such a job if they really cared about their career progression, even if it is for Penny Arcade. This type of position sounds like it was almost intentionally designed for a high turnover of employees.

"preferably in a professional workplace"

But see...

"- You should have no problems working in a creative and potentially offensive environment.

Looks like they were trying to leverage their name to find someone who wanted to work at Penny Arcade, versus someone who wanted to fill the position.

Can't blame them for trying :).

And you're on call to perform low skill IT support on top of it all.
