How we know
It hasn't been reposted, listed twice, or left up unusually long, and the posting doesn't say it's a talent pool.
Ghostless records the day it first sees a posting, so a repost can't reset its age. This one was already up when Ghostless started tracking Harmonic, so its true age is longer.

What the posting discloses
Not stated: Pay, real vacancy, AI screening.
Why these three
Ontario requires postings from employers with 25 or more staff to state the pay, whether the vacancy exists, and whether AI screens applicants.
Some employers add pay only on their own site. Check the original posting before you rule it out.

About the role
About Harmonic
At Harmonic, we believe the future of AI depends on proof. Most AI makes its best guess. Aristotle uses formal methods and reinforcement learning to check its own reasoning and results.
AI agents can write software in seconds, but edge cases and silent bugs still get through. We're building the verification engine to find them before code ships. With support for C and Verilog, Aristotle is built for the hardware and software where failure is expensive.
Backed by some of the world’s most prominent investors, we are intentionally scaling an elite technical team.
Try Aristotle for yourself here !
