Absolutely, job postings are an important part of any community, and I
think it's awesome the mods allow job postings on the board.

All the questions you listed are a great start, even if it's just an info
dump of "we use X, X, X, X, X", at least you have an idea of the scope.

To take it a step further, the specs from Soundcloud would make a good
template;
http://soundcloud.com/jobs/2013-06-18-engineer-systems-san-francisco-united-states

The spec should just be informative instead of cagey, avoiding cringe
phrases like "working on cloud <insert your thing here> team".

In hindsight I should have given the OP some better guidance in my last
email, thanks for picking this up Fred!
