I'm most attracted to job listings that emphasize the company's people over other concerns. Sure, it's nice to hear about all your great technology, and how many users you have, and your latest huge funding rounds...but none of that will make me wanna get up in the morning. After a few months on the job the only thing that really matters to me is who I'm working with, not necessarily what I'm building. So, I look for job ads that focus on culture, core values, and team-member health. I like to see that the company is proud of (and values) their people as much as their stack. And I like to see team members who are active in the open source community, who attend meetups and such, and seem to have a nice work/life balance. I try to picture myself there, and I figure: "If I take this gig, in a few months I'll likely be the average of the people who are already there". So if the existing team members seem happy and healthy, that's a good sign. If they seem overworked and depressed, I'm going to stay away.
