Spoke with the HR recruiter. She accidentally sent me an email to schedule an interview with the team, but then she recalled the email. They said they found a referral for the position, but have kept posting it.
The interview process was not so bad. I had an interview with someone who asked no technical questions then I had a super day. The super day is an hour long.
