Are you really offering an easy setup to the senior devops person? I'm sure they can figure things out.

Something to keep in mind - experienced devops and security experts are extremely valuable, at the same time ML beginners are in oversupply. Do you really want to put yourself at a massive disadvantage in the near to medium term, especially

People who are moving out of big cities - how long do you expect to stay with the same company and remote?

Similar situation - still sharing in London and thinking how for the same amount I can have a whole flat to myself somewhere else in the UK. It's kind of difficult to plan things if I expect to move back to London in 6 months or so.

Software developer is not a description, it's a title. It's okay if it doesn't perfectly indicate the domain and tech stack that you work with.
