One pay rate for equivalent skill levels seems like the fairest way to let people choose the lifestyle in the location they want.

And keep in mind, this applies both ways. If you currently live in a high cost of living area, nothing about this policy prevents you from taking that high wage and moving to a lower cost of living area and similarly benefitting.

I think having that choice is a great thing.

This reads like your standard issue security-team-in-a-box JD. You might find the T-shaped candidate of your dreams, but anyone capable of delivering the combination of cloud admin/netadmin/IT/SOC II/HIPAA/software arch/devops is going to know they're a substitute for a team. They'll expect to be paid significantly above what you're offering because they're going to be doing the job of a director and a team of six on an engineer's authority. This doesn't even touch on policy or IR, but they'll inevitably wind up in there too.

Speaking as a security professional who is the T-shaped person you want, this JD is bad news. It reads less as the expression of a hopeful young company and more of a giant red flag warning that this company does not understand security or take it seriously enough. You may want to rethink it if you wish your company to have a reputation as taking the security of your customers' data seriously.

The advice to consider a consultancy is sound and well worth careful consideration.
