Matasano. CHICAGO, IL New York, NY Mountain View, CA PRODUCT LEAD or SECURITY RESEARCHER Our M.O.: take a strong systems dev, strap them into a chair, force their eyelids open with little metal braces, and dropper saline into their eyes while forcing them to watch Eric S. Raymond videos. Competence + bloodlust = excellence in security research. Here I'm supposed to tell you that "building something people want is overrated". It is. But building things is fun, and we have something particularly fun to build. Want to run a new product team for a thriving company packed to the gills with people smarter and more well-balanced than me? Our product domains: Appsec. Bare-metal HTTP. Scale (storage, network, compute). Your qualifications: Can ship, can get on the phone with customers. Interested? We'll tell you more on the phone. We've never taken a dollar of funding. We've been profitable and growing for years. HN has been one of our best hiring vectors. You can't waste my time. tqbf - matasano.com. --- I did some work in Thomas' Chicago office with them this summer. If I were looking for a day job, I wouldn't be looking for a day job any more: they're friendly, happy people who get social license to join the Dark Side, do smart stuff all day, and then go home while it is still light out. --'patio11 Feel like you're too nice to your software? Too ready to suppress your impulse to rip the faceplate off your gear, expose the bare wires, and jumper random things together to see what blows up? Our intensive program may be for you. Let it go without saying: if you're interested in being a security researcher, we're a fantastic place to do it. We build hypervisors, test chipsets, write debuggers, and get to dig ourselves into the Tauntaun carcasses of the world's most interesting applications. We are always looking for security researchers. If you like: you bring some systems programming game, and we'll supply the appsec training.
