Maybe it's just me but, why would anyone want this job?

I'd say that if one has 25 (yes, I counted...) essential duties, none of them are essential.

They probably do need some help.

The exposed raw html in their job description is probably a sign that whomever made it was so tired it just looks normal to them. I know the feeling.

This one is classic:

"Willingness to contribute extra effort or hours outside business hours for high-visibility projects"

Yep. On top of everything else they want to dump on your shoulders there they also want you to work overtime for free.

Hilarious.

Maybe I'm missing something but it doesn't seem to out of the ordinary. Why wouldn't someone looking for a job want it?

"Additional job-related responsibilities" == We don't want to define this role so we can throw the kitchen sink at you.

(As if this weren't obvious already from the job requirements.)

I love how they want someone with experience or at least exposure to a dozen technologies. Plus they want someone who is able to pick up new technologies quickly... Why not just list that last one? If I can pick up new technologies quickly, exposure to those others don't really mean much

For me the craziest is this ... I think they troll :P

Physical Demands: Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions. While performing the duties of this job, the employee is occasionally required to stand, walk, sit, use hands to handle or feel objects, tools or controls; reach with hands and arms; climb stairs; balance; stoop; kneel; crouch or crawl; talk or hear; taste or smell. The employee must occasionally lift and/or move up to 25 pounds. Specific vision abilities required by the job include close vision, distance vision, color vision, peripheral vision, depth perception, and the ability to adjust focus.

Work Environment: The noise level in the work environment is usually moderate, but can be high at times.

Reading the different comments here it seems there are two ways to look at this job listing, is it 'all at once' or 'any of the above'. I read it as they wanted someone who was pretty broad in the web stack and could write clean testable Java code. My guess is that on any given day you might use two or maybe three of their 'essential skills' while you worked through re-plumbing their technology on top of AEM.

By my reading its pretty much the Web developer equivalent of the system administrator job.

To be honest all of this and more (I also do devops and database work) is asked of me at my job. This doesn't seem like to outrageous of a job list to me.

holy shit - i guess i see it differently - seems like they want someone that can walk on water - knows all and sees all - wants to work 24/7 - subsist on nothing but air - but maybe that's the norm expectation these days and i'm actually lucky to be a product manager

I always loved this one: https://tudorbarbu.ninja/message-to-recruiters/

>We’re looking for a person with more than 100 years of experience in software development, coding everything from BIOSes to cloud applications, knowledge of all past, present and future operating systems and setting up secure networks. The applicant must also be able to juggle up to twenty balls and read hieroglyphs, be fluent in Swahili and dance like Michael Jackson (especially moonwalking – nice to have at corporate Christmas parties).

Must have 5-7 years experience with a technology that has been out for 4 years.

Coincidentally, these are my favorite resorts to stay in, in Mexico / Cancun. If I can go this year, I want to stay at Secrets in Maroma Beach Riviera.

Maybe I should apply; odds of scoring a free or discounted trip? haha.

Wonder who wrote that job description.

Money?
