I've seen this posting many times over the last year. This role seems like it would be very desirable for a large portion of the HN crowd, so I am curious: are you having difficulty filling a single role, or are you continuously growing the team?

I applied months ago and was skeptical of their process. Their filter is a take-home test involving a code review and a simple algorithm problem. Neither is particularly hard, but I did poorly because I didn't realize they were grading it on a point-system by comparing it to an answer key. If you have a typo or do something differently than their key, you lose points. Lose a few points and you're out.

Honestly, it reminded me of someone trying to hire an author by giving them a spelling test.
