Perhaps I should've gone in more detail. I'm not upset about them wanting people who are proficient in git, I'm saddened that the job listing doesn't mention anything about what a Senior Android Developer does at Weebly.
The only Android related things on the job listing are proficiency with the IDE (Android Studio) and generic "frameworks".
I am an Android engineer, I clicked this job listing earlier today when it was on HN because I was interested in it. From the perspective of a listing that tries to get a good funnel of candidates coming in, it does nothing for me.
Would you apply to that job listing? I spend a lot of my day to day helping companies optimize their job listings, especially when they have high view numbers but low application click through rates, so this is a pet peeve.

- jc4p 10y agoI wrote a post about this a while back: http://kasrarahjerdi.com/2016/08/on-developer-hiring/ http://kasrarahjerdi.com/2016/08/on-developer-hiring/ Basically I like job listings that include _specific_ information about the role at the company. Maybe that means listing some of the hard challenges the other people on the team have worked on recently, maybe it just means listing the frameworks and libraries they're using, but anything to help me differentiate their Android role from someone else's Android role.
- sroussey 10y agoGreat, thanks! The Android team is 2 people currently, so roles in such teams tend to be like roles in much smaller companies, but with a bit more infrastructure and process. I'll pass this around.
