What kind of timeline can be expected to hear back on an application? I applied to one of the roles last month, and haven't heard anything at all.

It was the Senior CloudOps Engineer. Interestingly, I noticed that one wasn't listed on the general careers page, not sure if that might be a factor?

Hi Bill, just regarding the Android role. I just applied for it and I believe I can be a great fit. If you could check my application, I would be appreciated. My name is (Alaa). Thanks!
We are looking for candidates that are excited to join us on a mission to raise the standard of trust online. All of our roles are fully-remote, except where specific locations are noted.
Most of the software engineering positions have been repeating here for years because we've been continually hiring for them, scaling our whole team to now over 300 people—many of those hires have come through Hacker News. We've been improving our hiring process over time, and we know some good candidates may have fallen through the cracks. Some people who tried in the past have had success going through it again, and we still pay for hiring projects.
