If you let researchers write production code, you are asking for
troubles. And that comes from someone who is doing research, is a
programming enthusiast and had programming as a day job for some time.

If I made such job add, the most important for me would be the ML
experience and publication skills. This is something you can't teach in
a short time. As for the rest of it - it would be good enough that the
candidates would not hurt themselves while using those tools and
languages. At least there will be less unlearning to do...
