Hi everyone! We're doing a second round of hiring, since our first round didn't get us to enough people. We have some positions left, and we have some new positions available that have come up. But first, a new rule that has been deciding for applications: in the event that we cannot decide between 2 people, the application that was sent sooner will be given priority. (i.e. priority may be given to someone who applies on Tuesday rather than Friday). And finally, here's the key to understanding the current availability list:

[Position Name]  - Denotes that the position is no longer available.

[Position Name]* - Denotes that we are currently considering other applicant(s) from round 1 but are still accepting applications for this role.

![Position Name] - Denotes that while we are currently taking applications, we do not currently have the materials to move to the second step of the process because we're either working on finding someone to do it or waiting for our current people to do it.

[Position Name] - Denotes that the position is available, we have the resources for the next steps, and no one else from round 1 is being considered.

`[Position Name] - Denotes that the name or role has been modified since round 1.
