HN Jobs

TL;DR: ThinAir | Backend/Full-stack Developer (Python) | Palo Alto, CA | Full Time | On-site (with relocation!) Greetings fellow HN perusers! First off - I am not a recruiter. I'm the actual person (employee #5!) you'd be working with, and I'm looking for someone as driven and passionate about security as I am to come help us make a security product that doesn't suck. - Who am I - I built the backend here at ThinAir, but previously I worked on Palantir's infosec team, as well as a bunch of open-source stuff (I'm the current maintainer of the Sulley Fuzzing Framework, I've contributed security fixes to ElasticSearch, as well as a few other things). I love development and information security, so this was a natural marriage of roles for me. I get to build things I want, and change the future of data security at the same time! Groovy. - What we do - We're ThinAir (https://thinair.com/), and we're changing the (currently awful) data security landscape. We aim to solve the problem of breaches on both the large and small scales, with a good focus on usability from all sides (end user, admins, CSOs, etc). We don't believe security products should be a game of "select 2" in the set of {real security, usability, stability}. - What we need - We're looking for 1-2 more django peeps with decent security knowledge to come help me build out new features in our Django backend. Do you like self-documenting APIs and inception-like encrypted encryption keys? You're probably who I'm looking for. Even if you aren't exactly writing your own encryption algorithms, I still want to talk to you! Security is a mindset, not a finite set of knowledge. - How to get in touch - I'm not going to make you submit your resume to a website. I just want to talk to you for 10-15 mins. Email me (ryan@thinair.com) and we can arrange a time to talk - either in-person over coffee or over the phone. Be prepared to answer one very simple question - "What was the last cool thing you worked on, and why was it cool?" Cheers! Ryan
