Job Advert Feedback

Hi all, apologies if this is the wrong place but I'm looking for feedback on a job advert. The company I work for has put out a job spec for a lead app developer recently and it's not had much interest. It's an awkward role to advertise for as it's kind of the games industry but not really, additionally both development and management skills are needed, so I'm aware we may be looking for a bit of a unicorn. However, I'd be interested to hear any feedback and/or if there's somewhere better to post?

Thanks
