Head of Engineering | Early Stage Startup | San Francisco (ONSITE) | Full Time

We have an opportunity open for someone who wants to join a company from the very start and build out our engineering team.

We're an early-stage startup building machine learning-based customer service chatbots for the enterprise. Our tech can automate upwards of 50% of customer service queries for large enterprise clients using human-like chatbots.

I'll post to this thread because this is very relevant for the hiring companies. Hunter and Schmit did a meta-study of 85 years of research on hiring criteria. [1] There are three attributes you need to select for to identify performing employees in intellectual fields. - General mental ability (Are they generally smart) Use WAIS or if there are artifacts of GMA(Complex work they've done themselves) available use the…

Maybe talk to your lawyer or HR person before using IQ tests tho.

Elaborate? These tests are pretty common in interviews. I'd be curious to know what you're thinking.

Application Security Consultants | Optiv | Anywhere in the US | Remote | https://www.optiv.com

I'm a senior consultant with the Advisory wing of Optiv. We are hiring web app/mobile security consultants - basically, a client gives you a an app and some info and you try to find as many vulnerabilities if you can. Being a profit center for the company has its advantages- our salaries are competitive (with a reasonable bonus structure to boot), and our work life balance is tough to beat - i took a few months off last year and nobody batted an eye.

We'd like people who are comfortable working by themselves - you have the support of peers and the company's project management apparatus but the testing and customer work is generally pretty independent. Being able to explain the OWASP top 10 and other common web security vulnerabilities is something you should be able to do in your sleep. Mobile application skills and cloud security knowledge is a huge perk. Finally, being able to explain and write clearly is important - you need to have both the written and verbal English skills to explain complex security concepts to both developers and shareholders.

Feel free to e-mail me at john.labelle@ if you have questions or want to talk shop.
