My company is not a place where you learn how to code, it's a place where you learn all the stuff which you didn't think you'd have to do as a software engineer.

This to me is actually the “secret” of software engineering: it’s frequently doing the stuff you didn’t think you’d have to do as a software engineer.

The hard part is often finding someone who can do both while also wanting to work at your company.

That's fair, a solid reason for requesting office presence at least.

May I ask which country? The work seems super interesting, but unfortunately some countries aren’t too happy with foreigners right now, even if I’m whiter than mayonnaise.

You can probably guess, but the US
