Please state the location and include REMOTE for remote work, REMOTE (US) or similar if the country is restricted, and ONSITE when remote work is not an option.

Please only post if you personally are part of the hiring company—no recruiting firms or job boards. One post per company. If it isn't a household name, explain what your company does.

Please only post if you are actively filling a position and are committed to responding to applicants.

Commenters: please don't reply to job posts to complain about something. It's off topic here.

Readers: please only email if you are personally interested in the job.

Please stop. The way you're posting is not helping - it just makes things worse.

If the mods aren't going to enforce the rules what other options do we have? Serious question. This ad has been posted in 11/12 threads this year. Perhaps there should be a cooldown on the same posting after 3 months?

Job applicants are under enough stress as it is, they shouldn't be fooled into wasting their time applying to ghost jobs.

Hi! I happened to see this post before it was detached.

For a bit of additional context: we hire for multiple roles and have actually hired multiple people through these threads :)

We review every application by hand and get back to every single applicant, usually within 72 hours, despite thousands of LLM-generated spam/fraud applications. It takes a tremendous amount of time and energy, but we do it because we know how much time and energy candidates invest in applying to our open roles.

If you previously applied and didn't hear back, please shoot me an email so I can look into it: jared.silver@brilliant.org

Thanks for your response :) In my experience almost all companies claim to respond to applications or inquiries but I expect most seekers would say it's more like 1/10.

It may be worth mentioning that you're continuing to open new positions and hire in the next thread. That would be (imo) a positive signal for others and would dispel these types of concerns. Because like others have said, they remember the companies who post over and over again and tend to not bother with them, under the assumption that they just aren't filling the position (if they even exist).
