Ask HN: Who is hiring? (June 2018)

Truss solves complex technical problems for the private sector and government. We helped rebuild Healthcare.gov after its public failure in 2013. We seek the highest standard both in terms of the technology we build, and the way we run our company. We'd love to chat with you.

We are a software consultancy known for pragmatism, autonomy, expertise, and trust. We build strong relationships with our clients, contractors and employees and we believe that this is fundamental to doing great work. As a Truss engineer you will facilitate bringing Truss values (https://truss.works/values/) to those truly trying to make a difference in our government and enable them to understand what their citizens actually need rather than implementing a perceived solution.

Here are some of the things we care about: * Great communication! Including thoughtful listening skills, the ability to express complex ideas clearly and succinctly, and the ability to communicate well in writing * The ability to deal well with ambiguity and act with autonomy * Technology-agnostic and pragmatic engineering sensibility, focused on solving key problems for the customer, not the tools * Proficiency in at least one commonly used programming language, such as Python, Ruby, Go, Javascript, Java, etc. * Experience deploying at least one application that other people use * Have held at least one engineering position post-education * Initiative, curiosity, a bias for action, and a problem-solving attitude.

We expect all Truss engineers to consistently develop new skills, and cross-train into new disciplines outside of their current areas of expertise.

About Us: Red Balloon Security is a venture backed startup cyber security company headquartered in New York City. Our mission is to provide embedded device manufacturers with strong host-based firmware security. We believe all embedded devices require strong protections against malware and intrusions, and seek to provide these protections to our customers.

Our key markets include enterprise equipment, automotive, aviation, unified communications, SCADA, Internet-of-Things, network infrastructure and more. There is a vast universe of vulnerable embedded devices deployed around the world that need security.

We have created a means to inject our Symbiote host-based security technology onto any device, regardless of CPU type, regardless of functionality, regardless of operating system and without changing the performance and functionality of the device. We do not require access to customer source code, nor do we require manufacturers to change their product design to accommodate our security solution.
