Nah, their third and final email was from about a month ago (still recent memory of course, wasn't aware of the freeze).

They are hiring embedded systems engineers.

Are you sure about this? I know someone hired there in that time frame

They are only hiring SwEs that are L7 (maybe L6) and above.

PE is hiring and you could transfer to a SWE position later.

I was being recruited for L6 as a privacy engineer until I took another offer a fortnight ago, fwiw. No freezes there that I’m aware of.
