Can you give an example of a good job posting? I try to make our postings as real as possible[1], and would love feedback.

The level of detail goes both ways, though. The vast majority of people who apply don't even submit a pgp resume, which gives the impression that they didnt read the job description.

I liked the job posting but thought the list of requirements is very specific. JavaScript, Python, and Linux are the only things on that list that look like they should be a deal breaker for you. Everything else can be covered in a soft requirements list such as "have experience with web development (client and server side), relational databases, and queueing/caching". This gives people who have experience with the core of your stack an indication that they fit your main requirements. Of course you might only want people who fit your requirements 100% but I think you're getting into Unicorn territory at that point.

Your posting is much better than average, as you potential recruit can easily picture what they'll be doing and with whom. However you're still erring on the side of evaluating people on their buzzwords.
