Thank you for applying. I've asked someone to double check into your application.
We started receiving 20x more applicants than usual about this time last year when other tech companies were increasingly doing hiring freezes and layoffs. We're hiring consistently every month (including 5 new hires in the last month), especially from applicants from hacker news. Unfortunately we're not able to hire all the talented people that reach out. We have budget to grow faster, but internally, we have to be careful to not hire too quickly so that it's not chaotic for new people on the team with too little support from long-standing team members. We're trying our best to manage the higher volume of applicants, but clearly we let you down on communication so please accept my apology.
