Not op and not native English speaking, but to me it reads like "I want to solve the problems your current staff is too stupid for"

That's the exact kind of thing experienced developers want to do.

They don't always want to just write easy code again and again. That can get boring and tedious. They want to come into a project with difficult problems and take ownership of them and solve them.

I can see that but why not write it in a way that doesn't insult your potential future coworkers and indirectly the people who hired them?

Because the audience is not his future co-workers, it's the managers and hiring staff who have problems that they need solved and are aware of the existing limitations that they have within the team.

It sounds more like he wants to be on the cutting edge developing stuff that hasn't been done before, due to technical limitations. Not specifically fixing things wrong in a company because their other employees were too dumb.
