Yes of course you should keep up with new technologies in many different fields, even just without being a proper expert but...wouldn't you agree that a job description looking for such a variety and wide technology experience is a bit suspicious? What would you think of a company looking for a jack of all trades? I would think it doesn't know exactly what it's looking for and it believes that someone who's able to mostly do everything will be the ideal problem solver to every business need. It is true that startups look for developers who are able to cover more responsibilities but every wise startupper would know that unicorns don't exist and there are limits in everyone's skills.
