Have deep experience in 3 different job fields and, in 2 years, learn 5 languages.
“We want a senior developer at junior pay.”
I forget what the exact quote is, but…
Wanted, candidate with:
The wisdom of a 50 year old. The experience of a 40 year old. The drive of a 30 year old. The pay of a 20 year old.
This is what happens when the lead sends hr “here’s everything I care about and need on my team. A junior to intermediate candidate should be familiar with all, and experienced with one or two.”
Then hr says “yep sure, expert in all”
The most accurate take. I honestly agree with most of the people here saying this isn’t unreasonable when these aren’t requirements meant to be met at 100%. But honestly they are written so poorly and reed like you need all of them. You hit the nail on the head. Bad requirements sent to the dev lead, unclear details about what kind of candidates can fill the role, and poorly written job requirements.
Most people don’t realise this but it says “what we’re looking for” not “our minimum requirements”. And even when they do say they are minimum requirements, they aren’t really.
Whoever gets this job is absolutely not going to have all this. You can still apply.
That said it doesn’t seem totally unreasonable. I have used all those languages and have at least medium understanding of them (haven’t written any Go or Java for a while).
I’ve used MySQL and Postgresql, and Mongo mercifully briefly.
I’ve used some of the AWS stuff. Enough to bullshit about the rest.
I haven’t ever really designed a fault tolerant scalable system but I could definitely bullshit about it.
You don’t need to get 100%.
