Salary range should be mandatory - this saves everybody time and hassles.

100% agree. They should at least provide a lower bound.

Accurately describes the job. The preamble makes me bit suspicious - will I really be able to influence the product? Do I need design skills on top of programming?

Like the wide array of tech - suggests company is looking for talent and assumes people can learn.

Location and office pictures. I like to see where I will work and what equipment they provide. Also I want to know if my future direct boss is technical or not.

Pictures would be helpful as it would let you know whether you'll be working in a bullpen.

While it's usually not in the job description, I like to get a preview of the people I'll potentially be working with. To this effect a link in the job ad to your website with pictures/bios/things published by members of the software engineering team and details about my prospective manager -- are very much appreciated!

I see that they do this on LinkedIn. I like it because it gives me a feel for the skills required and the expectations for the role. I've seen positions that looked junior on paper, but were really quite senior once I saw the team. It's very helpful.

Work from home option? Whether company own stuff I build in free time?
