Ask HN: Who is hiring? (May 2013)

We're obsessed with photography, profitable, been around for 7 years.

We maintain a small team (8 FT) and we hire slowly and really stress fit and a SANE work lifestyle.

We're located in the Mission, bike and dog-friendly, lots of standing desks and Apple gear, etc. We've been in the NYT several times, a bunch of the morning shows, WSJ, and appear regularly in tech and photo press.

Every year we take the company on a 2-3 week workcation. So far we've been to India, Mexico, and Thailand.

We're looking hire a Full Stack PHP Developer (with experience working with modern coding practices and frameworks) to join our small design and dev team (currently one front-end designer and one back-end developer).

You'll be active in determining our product direction and get to learn from all areas of the company. The work centers around our e-commerce store (http://photojojo.com/store), our new education offering (http://photojojo.com/university) as well as new projects and brands to come soon.

We break into banks. And hospitals. And financial firms. And social media startups. And any other business that puts an open port between itself and the big bad world.

Matasano is looking for appsec consultants, now and forever. What does that mean?

We dig deep. Our consultants spend their days sliding up and down the ladder of abstraction, rapidly assimilating unfamiliar systems (and then breaking them). One week you're pulling apart macros in a Lisp app; the next, you're on your hands and knees crawling through x86 disassembly.

We move fast. Our projects run on tight deadlines: one or two weeks is typical. Recently we wrote a bespoke proxy to rip apart a custom encrypted protocol, tamper with messages, and cobble it back together again. That could be a two-week job in itself. At Matasano, that's just Tuesday.

We find bugs. Not just in applications, but in the tools they're built with. That includes some of the biggest open-source and proprietary software stacks in the world.

This is the Mission: Impossible of software gigs, and we need the best people to get the job done. NO PRIOR APPSEC EXPERIENCE REQUIRED. We need great software developers and fast learners, for we intend to go in harm's way. If this sounds interesting to you, we should absolutely talk.

Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of software applications?

Matasano knows.

Full benefits. Free books. Really smart coworkers. For more information, visit http://www.matasano.com/careers.

Looking for a taste of what we do? Shoot an email to cryptopals@matasano.com. We'll get you started with 48 problems (and counting) of real-world cryptography problems. This is the best answer you will ever get to the question: "Why shouldn't I roll my own crypto?"

Quirky is a social product development company where people from all around the world submit invention ideas to our website. With the help of our passionate community, we select the best ideas each week to develop together and try to bring them to market. If an idea actually makes it, then everyone who helped along the way gets a piece of the pie. You can find our products at retailers such as Target and Bed Bath & Beyond. Our mission is to make invention accessible.

Quirky is a rails shop, and we work with lots of fun technologies like AWS, mongo, iOS and heroku to name a few. We're a small team that works on lots of big, fun and interesting problems. We've got a brand new, fully custom office space in Chelsea (and currently working on a new one in SF). Oh and we also had a reality show on the Sundance Channel last year. VC backed by Andreessen Horowitz and Kleiner Perkins among others.

We're looking to hire rockstar rails, front end, back end and mobile developers. Designers too.
