Maybe it means the company is looking for someone to "offer" a job hence a "job offer". So using the term offer in the "job announcement" is ok in my book.

Let me just compliment you on making a very reasonable job offer.  You
clearly know what to ask for and what you can expect.  I hope others
follow your example.

It is an excellent job description. However, "job offer" is a legal
term of art meaning a binding (upon acceptance) offer of
employment. It usually is made by a company to a specific person and
sets out the terms of employment, including, not least, salary or
other compensation. Job offers are usually confidential. I would call
what Mr. Morris sent us a job announcement, as he did.

In this business, we should all be careful with relevant legal terms.
