-= MATASANO SECURITY =- Chicago. New York City. Sunnyvale. Application Security Consultant Full-Time or Internship, work visa sponsorship available. The start of a new year is a time many people become a bit introspective and reflect on their lives and careers. Those of us who enjoy what we do, and find satisfaction in our work take account of our accomplishments and achievements in the past year. Others may be less…

I've read much of Matasano's work and would love to join. Are you truly "always hiring", or would you recommend starting a dialogue sooner rather than later? I promised myself that I wouldn't apply/interview until I get the OSCP out of the way this month, but would hate to watch a good opportunity slip away.

Yes, we are really always hiring. Don't feel like this any particular bar you need to reach; you can't waste our time. We interview all sorts of people with all sorts of backgrounds. Some fit, some don't, but not neceessarily the one's you'd think.

We also have a history of interiewing the same person repeatedly. I myself interviewed twice before I came to Matasano. There's nothing wrong with realizing it's not a good fit at this time, and coming back around at a later date. Seriously, you can't waste our time.

West Los Angeles - TigerLead - http://tigerlead.com/ - REMOTE for some positions

TigerLead is one of the most heavily-trafficked networks of real estate sites on the web, connecting home buyers/sellers with realtors. Startup-like atmosphere within a small but profitable and fast-growing division of Move Inc!

Here's a list of the current openings, but we're always on the lookout for exceptional engineers who don't necessarily fit a specific position:

- Product R&D Team Lead - http://www.tigerlead.com/jobs/product-rd-team-lead/

- Systems Administrator - http://www.tigerlead.com/jobs/systems-administrator/

- Software Engineer, Sr (front-end) - http://www.tigerlead.com/jobs/software-engineer-sr-front-end...

- Mid-level PostgreSQL DBA - http://www.tigerlead.com/jobs/mid-level-postgresql-dba/

- Junior PostgreSQL DBA - http://www.tigerlead.com/jobs/junior-postgresql-dba/

Flexible hours, open-source friendly environment, remote ok for a lot of the positions, and dog-friendly. We use a mix of Perl and Ruby, but we're branching out in Ember for new front-ends and we're more interested in using the right tool for the job than in specific technologies.

Sounds interesting, challenging, and fun? Apply to become our next Tiger!

But if these posts don't show up on time on the first of the month, others will post them and they will be upvoted. Moderators would have to kill loads of posts until the appointed time. Moving the thread is definitely a solvable problem, but I'm not sure that it is worth the extra moderation work. Furthermore, neither your…

You know, I was thinking about this before I saw these comments and I did think "maybe it would be better if Who Is Hiring 1/15 was posted on Monday cos fewer users will see it", but then I thought about it some more and changed my mind. I now think that it's OK and you should just leave it and not do anything else.

The reason why is because HN WIH has now gotten to the point where it's a regular feature and people expect it, like clockwork. I think folks who check in on Monday who read it every month will find it and upvote it anyway. This isn't a strongly held opinion, though.
