This particular job posting not only failed to mention one single thing that would appeal to me (or any well-thinking person for that matter), but it also agitated me. Listing the stack is an attribute, not an advantage. So is the location, SF is a great city but that alone does not make me want to apply. The fact that you’re a small team working long hours on hard problems? To me, it screams ‘NO WORK/LIFE BALANCE’. So you have funding and users? Wow. How much? How many? What is it you’re doing? Furthermore, the complete and utter lack of information, coupled with a shifty Gmail address almost makes me think it’s a scam.
It just puzzles me why people create job listings like this. In today’s job market for skilled engineers could you at least TRY to persuade me to apply?

Being upfront about it is much better than going through the interviews and being told one thing but when you start working it turns out "hey, we need you to work more hours" which is what happened to me currently.
