I've submitted my application for the Senior Frontend Engineer role, thank you for your time yegg. What do you think is the likelihood of making it through the process by the new year?

It really depends on a number of factors, but someone should get back to you relatively soon.

I did apply for this position as well, 8 days ago. These things takes time.

But I must ask : do you answer people when they are rejected ? Or simply keep silent ?

Thank you for your time.

Would you happen to expect any new positions for data analysis / research or similar? Or a way to subscribe to hiring announcements? Thanks!
Re:Ask HN: Who is hiring? (December 2018) by yegg on Monday December 03, 2018 @02:41PM (#18592176)
Nice idea on subscribing to hiring announcements, though we don't have that yet. Our backend team (the position that is up) does that type of work, and so there might be a good fit there.

I've applied, this looks very exciting! Does the backend team, work with the underlying Information retrieval engine too?

Yup.
