The ability to work in a fast-paced environment and manage multiple projects with strict deadlines
Strong written and oral communication in English

Creative thinking, committed to scalability, extensibility and reusability of your code
Experience with cross-browser testing and you're not the type to slip up on QA

I have a little intro about the company and some stuff on Education, compensation and how to ally as well.
I'm looking for the nitty gritty on the technical side and how to best present it. Right now I have this hacked up list of shit that I'm sure is missing some things I dont even know we need and has some things that might annoy a good dev.

- Do they need to know all that or if they have most of it but lacking some, do you offer training? Sounds like a very specific stack.Maaku

"I deal with the god damn customers so the engineers don't have to. I have people skills" lol
I think you could simplify and omit some things
- desire to ...
omit, look at the work samples. but what about backward compatibility. cuz one of the higher ups is gonna surf the mobile site on Android 4.0.x- A good sense of design and an eye for the details
- ...multiple projects with strict deadlines
omit cuz those are a given (for a senior position!) and missed deadlines are someone else's fault. These can be revealed/detailed in the interview.- Strong written and oral communication in English
omit cuz initial email correspondence is good indicator. some dudes attach the resume without even a message. lol. or broken English (my company is bilingual but still)- Experience with cross-browser testing and you're not the type to slip up on QA
maybe include experience with Selenium, Protractor, Karma, Jasmine?- "Selenium, Protractor, Karma, Jasmine?" Sound like the line up of a strip joint.ArmandoEstrada

I see a couple conflicting terms used here. For instance:
"wordpress/shopify/PHP" ... "jquery"
then
"A desire to create best-in-class products using bleeding-edge web technologies"
Maybe change that last sentence to:
"Maintain old ass spaghetti code wordpress sites with lots of copy and pasted jquery snippets. We promise you'll get to use Vue or React + Go(lang) or node.js on new projects."
Version control probably not necessary. If you don't have any experience with that, you haven't wrote code long enough. Same with modular code. That's redundant when asking for a competent developer.
Maybe list a little bit more about what your backend server config looks like. Grunt/Gulp/Webpak/etc gets phased in and out every quarter it seems. So, most people have experience with one or the other. And, they should be easy to pickup for someone experienced.
