I'm extremely flexible but the key things I would expect:
- remote work: I can ocasionally meet in person and have work trips but it must be remote-first
- freedom of choice: I will come to you with my unique experience so would expect that you accept it and let me do my best the way I can do it 
- flexibility in work schedule: I'm extremely flexible for the company and often can dedicate time even during late evening and weekends so will expect the same flexibility in return
- comfortable work culture: I prefer not to work in a stressful and toxic atmosphere
