I'm sure whoever wrote this creative job ad is trying their best, but you're right... it comes across as kinda douchy, which they certainly did not intend.
They've just closed their round of funding, and I'm sure they're feeling incredibly pleased with themselves for a well-deserved win. But the tone of the post makes it sound a little bit like they spent a bit too much of those 9 vcs' money on coke.
The super-stealthiness is going to be a big problem here, frankly. The kind of developers that they claim to want to hire can work anywhere they want. They are choosing where to work based on being able to do work which is meaningful and interesting. This post gives
* Zero information about the kind of work
* Zero information about the founders' personalities (except to make them seem unusually satisfied with themselves) and
* Zero reasons to want to work at the company.
If this product is really live at "tons of SMBs", why the stealthiness? What are you hiding?
