NYC (Chelsea) - Chicago - SFBay Matasano. Job title: Scary Story Told To Young Software Developers By Their Parents To Get Them To Go To Bed On Time. In one not-too-atypical week last year, our team attacked the messaging front end of a financial exchange, used a GNU Radio to decode an RF protocol used by a major utility (we later cheated and used JTAG to turn their own hardware into a modem), reverse engineered and defeated a secure remote login protocol, and game-overed a web app your mom has heard of. What are we looking for? Here's my first interview question: what is your research project going to be for us? One of our team members built a web testing tool. A couple more got together and wrote a cross-platform debugger in Ruby. One of our team members finds vulnerabilities in Google Chrome in his spare time. A few of them are running a large scale software fuzzing farm to bring mass production techniques to bugfinding. Does this stuff interest you? We should talk. Downsides: Not building things people want. In fact, building things people fear and loathe. Also, not being able to wear silver, eat garlic, or enter houses without express invitation. Perks: Infinite free tech books, medical, 401k. Testimonials: 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. - HN:patio11 Your Amazon policy is almost better than stock options and a 401k. I'd probably never willingly leave a company with that policy. - HN:SkyMarshall For god's sake someone please get me out of here. - HN:wglb
