Ask HN: Who's hiring (take 3)?

Re: Ask HN: Who's hiring (take 3)?
#102My new startup (Plato’s Forms) is an early-stage angel funded startup based out of South Park (SoMa), San Francisco, focused on solving the problem of rapid proliferation of misinformation in online media.
And we're hiring Ruby on Rails Developers and Senior Developers
We’re going to disrupt (in a good way) the way the worlds of news media and PR communicate. And kick ass.
As we're so early days this is a great opportunity get in at the ground floor NOW. We are able to offer early employees a significant equity package (along with a salary) that could generate meaningful wealth if we collectively achieve our goals. To that end we're looking for a few talented developers who can embrace the excitement and challenges of creating a company from scratch and be willing to make the commitment necessary to succeed.
If that sounds of interesting please check out http://platosforms.com/jobs or send resume + github urls/etc to jobs@platosforms.com

I don't plan on applying but I'm curious as to why you would hire a great developer without security experience over someone who knows app security. Is it because you offer a lot of training or simply because you figure he'll pick up what he needs fairly quickly and eventually surpass the app security expert? Or is there a different reason? I asked a similar question to Zed Shaw at CUSEC last year. Something along th…
( Speaking of, I think I'm speaking at CUSEC this year, and anyone who's got any advice for me, I would pretty much kill to get it. ) It's simple. The best security researchers are people who have (or at least could) ship software. There is a big swath of high-end work that you simply can't deliver if you can't code. That's where Matasano plays. I suppose you could be a very strong Payment Card Industry certification…
Speaking of, I think I'm speaking at CUSEC this year
I sure hope you're speaking given that they just today announced it on the website http://2010.cusec.net/11-20/thomas-ptacek-security-researche... =)
All the advice I can give you is be honest and be yourself. CUSEC has always been very informal compared to most other conferences, more of a discussion between students and people they respect more than anything else.
John Kopanas, the founder of CUSEC, mentions it every year. He created CUSEC simply because he wanted to talk to and hear from people in the software engineering community that he respected. It's always been that every since.
EDIT: I tried to bet one of my friends that you would have the most technical talk at CUSEC. He wouldn't take the bet. If your talk is anything like this post http://chargen.matasano.com/chargen/2009/7/22/if-youre-typin... though I can't wait to hear it!

#104Splunk is hiring sustaining engineers in San Francisco (right by South Park), dlanstein at my company's domain and I'll be happy to forward your resume on with an introduction. Ridiculously cool product, if you don't know about it.
Plus, with the weather as crappy as it is today, we have Carasso making homemade mac and cheese, and Smithwick's, Widmer, and Lagunitas IPA on tap :)

I've only had to hire two people so far, but based on that limited experience, I'd definitely prefer someone with passion, interest, and willingness to learn, over someone with experience (and without the rest). For one thing, even though everyone always goes around arguing that there's only one right way to do things, the fact is that any given organization has their own habits and methods and reasons, and very expe…
That problem cuts both ways though.
You have the experienced people who are stubborn and want to do things their way because in their experience that works best but you also have the experienced people who know that the best way to do things is the way that the team is best structured to implement well and maintain efficiently in the future.
The passionate people have the same problem. Passion brings on a strong desire to do things "right" so some will refuse to adapt to the team, their passion dictating what the team should do and others will be more passionate about results rather than methodologies.

I figured the room might be a bit too generalist to want to hear 40-50 minutes of crypto flaws, and so I was thinking about wrapping the crypto stuff up in a talk that made a technical case in favor of DRM.
If people tell me real-world crypto is going to keep people in their seats, though, I'm totally down for that; it's a much easier talk.

#109Amazon seems to always be hiring. Give us a shout - this includes internships too. By the way, I did 6 internships total during college, and Amazon was by far the most enjoyable one. If you're a student, apply.
Where else did you intern? I'm curious because I'd like to know whether an Amazon internship would be different or better than my other experiences (Microsoft/IBM).
