To be honest, that's one of the worst job postings I've read. Cut out every instance of "great", "top-notch", "exceptional", "talented", "dynamic", "experienced", "professional", fast-paced", "innovative", "challenging" ... and replace them with something about your company and why a potential employee should care.
There's a great section in Freakanomics about how such words tend to map to houses on the real estate market. ;-)
