You mention Senior Developers - Frontend(Javascript) roles here but I dont see it in the link https://duckduckgo.com/hiring. Could you please let me know where can I apply?

Thanks

I applied a couple years ago, I can confirm their hiring process is one of the best around.

Any backoff period in place?

What did you like about it?

A pdf explaining their hiring practice. I imagine the user liked the remunerated, take-home tests, done on your own time. https://duckduckgo.com/assets/hiring/how_we_hire.pdf

not only that, also the people I spoke to and the feedback loop :)

Looks great. Good work DDG!

Not particularly. We encourage people to re-apply!

Hi Bill! I applied for the senior frontend position about a month ago, and was rejected at the first step.

I think it was towards the end of the posting, so: is this a new position, and would it be possible to get feedback on why I was rejected?

I thought I fit the role pretty well, so it would be useful to have more details so I could improve my CV :)

Full remote still means Americas only?

No, we consider everyone from everywhere for our team.

Do you have a link to Principal or Director, Product Design? Not seeing it on the career site.

Sorry, that one just got filled and I should have removed it!
