[G[1]Let's stay away from SMTS in the job description and more on a descriptive title of the role.

[G[2]I'd suggest wording this to be a product development role (i.e. selling this to customers). This sounds more like a supporting role in an IT platform.

[G[3]I think we can entice them more with some specific embedded\edge\cloud specific stuff

[G[4]Let's mention a line about deep coding, troubleshooting, and development knowledge

[G[5]Experiencing building and delivering DevSecOps platforms a huge plus

[G[6]This is one you'll want to move to the top and highlight specifics things like RBAC, oAuth, OpenID, threat models, etc.
