NCC Group (formerly Matasano Security, iSEC Partners, and Intrepidus Group) - Austin, Chicago, New York, San Francisco, Seattle, and Sunnyvale, CA

Maybe you've been a builder, but have always thought breaking seemed more fun? Maybe you're a seasoned information security veteran looking for dedicated research time? Maybe you've always been intrigued by security, but never had a clear path for how to get started? Maybe you are an infosec wunderkind looking for a place where you can be exposed to a myriad of technologies and products over the course of a year? Maybe you mistyped a web address and somehow wound up here? With the exception of that last example, we'd love to hear from you!

Many of you will be familiar with NCC Group's legacy US names - Matasano Security, iSEC Partners, and Intrepidus Group. We're now all officially integrated under the NCC Group name and one happy family.

The bottom line: if you love security and research, NCC Group just may be a perfect fit for you.

What do we do exactly? Penetration testing, security analysis, and cutting-edge research into current technologies and attacks (breaking things). You spend most of your day thinking about security systems and how they can break. You get to be creative and have a lot of freedom to be clever while learning new technologies at a very fast pace. Engagements are usually 2-4 weeks long and in a year you will be exposed to 15-20 products and technology stacks. Your work will typically initiate person-months of security improvements in products millions of people use. You will have access to senior engineers/architects and your findings/ideas will be heard by senior decision makers. You will have enormous impact in making the software people use safer. All of our consultants are also security researchers, with dedicated research time. Not too shabby!

Synthesio - http://www.synthesio.com | Multiple positions | Remote or NYC

We're one of the leading social media analytics companies - every month we pull in >2bn pieces of social data, and allow our users to slice and dice that data to answer all sorts of interesting questions, like:

- Why are people buying our products vs. our competitors?

- What people on social media are driving discussion about our brand?

- How can we calculate what subjects are getting people excited about a particular political candidate?

I'm the VP product here in NYC, while our engineering team is in Paris. I'm looking to hire a couple of positions reporting to me, and then we're hiring a bunch of folks throughout the organization.

Solutions Engineer - http://synthes.io/1IAxN5A

This is a presales engineer role, but with some fun extras. Since you're reporting with the product organization and R&D, we spend more time working on product strategy and partnerships than a typical SE does. The ideal candidate will be someone who can talk APIs and implementation plans as well as a deep and abiding interest in big data and social analytics. This position is ideally based in NYC, but open potentially to remote for exceptional folks.

Functional QA Manager - http://synthes.io/1KMaTw0

We're looking for someone to drive our QA and testing strategy forward - how do you test a platform that can analyze data across hundreds of different metrics, with millions of different sources? How much can be automated vs. what needs to be done by people? What do the right test plans look like for extremely complex scenarios? This position could be remote, or NYC.

There are links to the job postings next to the title, you can always feel free to email me at mzito@synthesio.com if you have any questions or comments, or you can also reach out to our internal recruiter at syard@synthesio.com.

LiquidTalent is an exclusive marketplace for developers, designers, and marketers to find contract work.

Our platform is currently open to all talent to find work, but we're looking for an experienced backend Rails developer to help us build out the rest of the platform (ONSITE, New York City). Specifically, in the short-term, we're looking to build out more powerful search and discovery features on our platform. You'd be working with 1 other junior Rails dev, 1 other senior Rails dev, and 1 senior Angular dev.

We're a super early startup with seed funding. It's an amazing time to join, as you'll have a lot of autonomy, and you'll have a good amount of control over the direction of the product. Every week is a completely different experience.

If any of this sounds interesting, contact me at ken {at} liquidtalent {dot} com

And feel free to check out what we have now: http://liquidtalent.com
