Who is qualified for this job? WHO? This should be at least 3 separate jobs. What I've listed here are just requirements and desires, not job duties, education, or certifications they ask for. There MAY be a small handful of people who would be willing and able to do this job, but they're taken (and I hope they're getting paid *well*) but I doubt you're going to find them through a recruiting email sent to anyone on Dice with a resume that sounds vaguely technical.
No salary or benefits listed, btw. On the upside, it's fully remote.
Meanwhile in Ohio...
