Things are apparently going well enough at IO Interactive from a financial perspective (maybe they got a publishing partner?) that they're now hiring a bunch of staff again.
When Square Enix first announced they were dropping the studio, they first had them drop all their open job postings except for the two to add multiplayer to their engine.
Afterwards, they laid off more staff in a final bid to help sell the studio.
IO didn't add any new job postings (beyond leaving the multiplayer ones up) after buying themselves back for quite a while, but now they're back up to nine openings.
I thought people might be interested since they seemed like they could still be in a precarious position after buying themselves given the cost of running a studio of that size was likely $1-$2 million a month.

Edit:
Shiggy noticed this. Apparently Square Enix laid off 70 staff back before they cut them loose, and with their much reduced size, they thought they could continue on without external funding.
They probably got some though given they're hiring now.
