AFAIK folks are adding this as a joke. Example: https://web.archive.org/web/20210705124241/https://jobs.lever.co/signal/2a5fee8b-5875-46d4-a41d-773a28a6b553 htt

Haha > Must include considerable time spent within the Infinidash lifecycle (OpenDash acceptable). Infinidash is at the core of everything we do. Why yes, I have exactly this skill set

  Are they not worried about people seeing the joke requirement in the job spec, just not being aware of the current Twitter joke of the day, and discounting themselves?

    This is an archive.org link, presumably they have changed it back.

    No, it's selecting candidates who are aware of the current Twitter joke of the day. They're either unaware of how small that bubble is or accepting of the monoculture this promotes.

      I'm sure people who are not aware will just search for it in their favorite search engine and find out it's a joke. What it might filter out are people who don't find this joke funny, and might decide not to apply (and on the countrary it will catch the attention of people finding this funny and concluding Signal must be a cool place to work). Getting devs attention on a job offer is hard these days, so I guess spicing it a bit is fair.

        I, for one, wouldn't bother searching for a technology that I've never heard of if it were listed as a requirement for a job posting. I would just move on to the next posting. There are too many jobs that I am qualified for to bother taking time for a deep dive on a job that I'm not qualified for.

        To be honest I haven't ever actually looked for a job, but if I happened to read that annonce, I would absolutely check out wtf is that tech that is a requirement to work at signal, out of pure curiosity.

        I tried searching it, the original tweet is pretty high in the results. And the other results really don't try to hide to hard it's a joke :)

        Also it probably depends whether you have actually used some aws services. I have searched quite a lot of aws services before, and not finding the product page straight away is a pretty good hint.
