They likely knew they would have to train you in multiple areas, but liked your hustle and made an offer based on the cost of training you. At least, that's what I'd do - if you have limited experience, I'd need to teach you how to write code, how to work with code reviews, versioning control, etc, etc.
If the start-ups were taking a chance on me, they always had their 3 months of probation. Don't take it out on my pay. That stuff affords me my milk and eggs.
I learnt ML, sensor stuff, R, python and all other stuff in my first job right out of school. Made easy six figures (+ benefits and hefty bonuses) without any recruiter haggling, and am in comfortable position now. Because I turned towards traditional engineering companies, and then went there and did what I wanted to do as I got an understanding and tech oriented manager. I changed a lot of internal workings in that company.
