looks like an internal job ad (to me) that got disclosed incorrectly.

  Looks internal, but it also looks like they're hiring marketing folk, not engineers. I think that's more likely the reason that it sounds like gibberish. If a marketing person saw an ad looking for someone with experience in T-SQL in Perl (or whatever), it would probably sound equally bizarre.

    Lots of those acronyms and abbreviations are microsoft internal, i think. They're not generic marketing. I also think they disclose a lot about the nature of internal senior management structure- who reports to who. An example: "KT and SteveB" are probably Kevin Turner (COO) and Steve Ballmer.

      You're right. Those are Microsoft internal jargon. "compete": Term used for "not Microsoft" (I came from "compete") "v- team": This position will have contractors working for them. Contractors working for Microsoft have usernames in the format: /[a-z]\-[a-z]+/. Contractors or "Vendors" have usernames starting with 'v-'

      I agree with you, they're certainly Microsoft-internal terms. But more specifically, they're Microsoft marketing -internal.
