Earlier quoted context omitted.

I don't think either of the posts you've replied to in this thread state that all employees at all companies require physical proximity to collaborate effectively. Just that Matasano (by virtue of its leadership) prefers proximity. It's entirely reasonable that some people prefer proximity over remote arrangements. People who don't aren't likely to enjoy working at Matasano. That doesn't negate the existence of other…

You don't think that "we prefer folks to be in the office where they can interact with others with less friction" is stating a requirement of physical proximity to collaborate effectively? That's how I read it.

Again: I'm assuming you're this invested in the thread because you really like the idea of working for an appsec firm. I don't blame you! Appsec is an awesome field to work in. I think you'd be much happier talking to Accuvant, which runs an all-remote team, than in trying to talk Matasano out of a carefully-made decision that is a core part of its culture.

I work in Stanford's central IT department https://itservices.stanford.edu/ and I'm hiring a full time, permanent Linux DevOps and Systems/Cloud Administrator.

There are a couple parts to this position. Primary responsibilities will be to participate among a team of sysadmins helping to manage The second part of the job is also really nifty. We'll be building API-driven solutions from our SaaS investments; expand the containerization of Drupal (and eventually WordPress, maybe others) in AWS; architecting and building out interrelated services across any given cloud ecosphere (for example, tying together RDS, S3, EC2, ELB, CloudFormation, etc); migrating traditional datacenter systems into the cloud — eg, Amazon Web Services, Google Compute Engine, Azure, OpenStack. You'll get to work with different departments, schools, researchers.

Working at a fancy-pants university is different. We work for the greater good. There will be no IPO. We don't really move fast and we try not to break things (but we love clever solutions). We're a brogrammer-free zone. We have sane, flexible working hours. We have a beautiful campus, smart people and nice benefits http://uhr.stanford.edu/stanford-sweeteners but there's no free dry cleaning, no kombucha bar, no free organic meals. People really like working here, and they stick around for a while. We like all sorts of candidates, especially the curious and excitable.

If this is something interesting, or you want to know more, email me (Noah Abrahamson) at jobs-abrahamson@stanford.edu. Here's the official posting: https://stanford.taleo.net/careersection/jobdetail.ftl?job=6... with more info.

Who do you sell to other than the Democrats themselves? And how do you tend to feel about those with leanings too far left for the Democratic Party?

We work with a lot of labor organizations and non-profits, as well as progressive international political parties. As far as our staff goes, the politically active ones tend to be further left than the median Democrat in my estimation, but probably fewer radicals than you might expect. We also have plenty of folks for whom politics isn't the primary motivation for working here.
