I know it's a joke, but in case you decide to go for a position like this in the UK: you probably wouldn't make it past the technical with those examples. Mainly, data migration is a system migration process (rsync might be a tiny part of the process but it's absolutely not what they're asking about) and endpoint security is not the same thing as an antivirus.
Honestly it's pretty standard stuff you'd find in a posting for a senior technical position, but it's just... three senior tech positions rolled into one (Four if they actually want training plans) and for low-journey pay. Pretty damn ridiculous.
