I've emailed/tweeted at you a few times and got no responses. I really wanted a job/internship at Matasano Chicago. Eventually I got through to somebody to schedule a call with me only to have the call canceled and was told I wasn't a good fit before even saying anything to anybody.

Even with that experience... I still would like an opportunity.

San Francisco, CA Bay Area preferred -- remote ok (contract, part time, chance for full time long term)

http://prontotype.us

Prontotype Inc. is looking for an iOS (with Android a huge plus) developer with UI/UX expertise to join our core team and design, build, and iterate on web and mobile apps for idea-stage startup founders.

Prontotype was founded to bridge the gap from idea to MVP as quickly and efficiently as possible. We are rapidly taking on new clients while maintaining current projects, and we are looking for a creative, experienced, multi-talented developer to further scale. We ship features weekly on a variety of projects and iterate and refine often, so the ideal candidate will be quick on their feet in a brainstorm, write extensible clean code, and communicate very well -- we have our own development frameworks that change as product needs evolve so interfacing well with us is an absolute must.

You will first be hired on a contract basis for a specific project. If we work well together there is opportunity for more down the road. We generate A LOT of work and can offer varied and exciting problem solving opportunities (think 2-5 simultaneous startup ideas) as time goes on -- Prontotype deals with new ideas almost every day! There is also a possibility for equity in some of our projects down the road depending on how things go.

Send inquiries to jobs@prontotype.us and tell us about yourself. Please include links or a portfolio of projects you have worked on (we are most impressed with apps you have shipped now on the App Store, frameworks you have made, pet projects you are proud of... things that show what you love to build!).

Can you email me directly at thomas at sockpuppet.org? That's my personal mail account --- in case people are getting spam filtered. I want to find out what happened there.

We did get a bajillion internship applications this year, and I believe we may have capped out on them, but we should have handled that gracefully regardless. If we scheduled a call, we owed it to you to actually get on the phone. I apologize.

A few months ago I asked you why you don't do remote work. I followed up with an email. I realize you're busy, but still I would have appreciated an answer, since you asked me to send you an email anyway.

We're an office culture. We're constantly getting into situations where we hit technical challenges we haven't solved before, but someone else in the office has. Several times a day you'll see people crowd around someone's computer trying to work through some bug or misbehavior to see if we can, as a group, turn it into something exploitable. That's reason #1.

Reason #2 is fairness. Some of our work is on-site. We arrange our offices so that we have "house accounts" in Chicago, NYC, and SFBA, and on any given day some fraction of the office is likely to be at one of those places. All things being equal, people would like to work from their own office instead of someone else's. If we pick up remote people, those people will by definition not be able to staff on-site projects, which mean that the people who actually come to the office will get stuck with that work.

Reason #3 is that reasons #1 and #2 have been dispositive for us since 2005, and so we have a management structure tuned to that office culture. We're not set up to manage remote team members. We're especially concerned about this because some of us have experience working on assessment teams at "work from home" firms, and have seen wildly uneven results from projects managed like that. We're paranoid about quality and consistency the way a fine dining restaurant is paranoid about the consistency of dishes coming out of the kitchen.

I'm not saying that there's necessarily anything bad about remote/WFH cultures, or that you couldn't build a good assessment firm doing remote/WFH. I'm just saying we haven't done it. :)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

matasano - always hiring, never replying to emails. I passed the crypto challenge and took the suggestion to apply - no answer. So I asked tptacek why they didn't reply - he said that was definitely a mistake, and I should send my application again. Of course again I got no answer. The crypto challenge was enjoyable though, so thanks for that I suppose.

Are you hitting my spam filter or something? We have a group of 4 people that work together to handle the mail we get at careers@. If you send something and get no response, you can escalate, like you're doing here. (I can't answer the question I just asked myself, because I have no idea who you are. Sorry!) I don't know what else to tell you. We don't ignore mail to careers@. For instance: the H1B cap is now closed…

It occurred to me a minute ago to tell someone else to mail me at my personal address; you can do that too if you like. I'm thomas at sockpuppet.org. Pretty sure that won't get spam filtered.
