Will you have to move to take the new role? If so, that gives you a little wiggle room.

You need to disclose the non-compete to the new employer. They will probably ask you during your face to face interview. If they say it is not an issue after you disclose it, they should be willing to manage any action by your prior employer. I went after a chemical engineer for violation of a non-compete and the court upheld my rights as he had competitive information. His new company had to keep him in a non-competitive role and away from any facility that processed product within his specialty for two years, physically audited every quarter. That was in Indiana. Yes, they are enforceable.
