"bro" puns are pretty non-sexed. Women make "bro" jokes too, because they're funny and no one should take them seriously.
Be careful about the term "should", it implies a lot of assumptions that are probably not shared by your audience.

"Crunk" literally means being intoxicated from both marijuana and alcohol simultaneously. There's no way this posting was serious about the amount of partying. If one reads carefully, the ad does claim that non-bros are welcome to apply, but I doubt that anybody else has read that far.

Perhaps, but more than that it's bloody stupid.
Indeed it would certainly make me not want to apply to the position. In my experience it is hard enough to maintain adequate professionalism in the 20 something caffeine crazed all nighter atmosphere of a startup. If it can't show a modicum of it in its official communication, I can already see the scenes in the office. Also: I would try to hire flowgrammers because you know they are always in the zone. EDIT: Make th…
If we attempt to spin things in a positive light, it may be assumed that the intention was to describe the culture in their startup, which involves jokes around such terms as 'brogrammers'.
If we attempt to spin things in a negative light, they are obliviously sexist.
