To clarify, all positions start out with purely equity? How long is the conversion period?

I have serious doubts that this is a legitimate company that can actually hire people. The parent comment claims that it is "an established electronic trading fintech venture" yet their website only has a landing page (and the position descriptions.)

Sorry for the late reply. We appreciate your feedback and can confirm we are part of the hiring company. You should only apply, if you are comfortable with the information we provided. Good luck!

Hi Bill, thanks for sharing this. I'm very interested and sent in an application for the Senior Backend Engineer role on the hiring page. Is that still open?

Duck duck go is weird. They have been posting the same jobs for 2 years. Reading up on glassdoor, older HN comments etc people suspect they aren't really hiring. That and they make you do long writeups for the application. Pretty fishy.

We have been hiring continuously. Some roles stay open because we continue to hire for them.

EnsoData | healthcare, sleep, machine learning | REMOTE (US) | Product Manager | Full Time | $80-$100k+ | https://apply.workable.com/ensodata/ * Sleep is vital to recharging mentally, restoring our bodies physically, and fighting off disease.

The listing itself says "Hybrid Madison, Wisconsin", not Remote.

I think that's just an artifact of how Workable doesn't really let you say "we welcome folks to from anywhere, based in the U.S., but also have an office in Madison if you'd prefer to work out of these some times"

As an aside: I've been interviewing candidates for this and other roles and it's surprised me how much it has come up from candidates that they miss having a place to go and work in-person with their coworkers and that they are looking locally for employers for that reason.
