The description: 

The Newsweek/Daily Beast Company is looking for an experienced, creative, and innovative web application developer to join our digital development team. This group is responsible for ensuring the timely development, testing, and release of web and mobile products for Newsweek and The Daily Beast. This position offers the unique opportunity to work on cutting-edge technologies. In this role you will be responsible for working in a collaborative development environment as well as interacting with business stakeholders to develop new system capabilities. Our ideal candidate demonstrates the ability to work in an Agile/Scrum environment and must possess a desire to learn and use new technologies. Strong written, oral and interpersonal communication skills are a must to support interaction with internal customers, team members, and management.

And here’s a selection of skills and requirements as listed, presented in acronyms and code-words that we can barely comprehend:

JavaScript, AJAX with JSON, jQuery, jQueryUI, ExtJS, HTML5, cross-browser CSS and semantic markup, JSP, PHP, Ruby, Agile/SCRUM, JavaScript-based analytics, DFP, Java, Adobe CQ5, and/or Apache Sling experience. 

If you know some, or magically, all, we’d love to have you join our team. We’ve got a modern, expansive newsroom, an unlimited supply of Skittles and Smartfood Popcorn, and a beautiful, 180-degree view of the Hudson River that *never* gets old no matter how many times you look at it. That’s a personal guarantee.
