Long-time Hacker News readers will be familiar with Matasano Security, and will expect to see us post in this thread. This month, there will not be a post from Matasano Security. Effective today, there will no longer be a Matasano Security. Instead, we're officially rebranding as NCC Group.

In late 2012, Matasano was acquired by NCC Group joining iSEC Partners and later Intrepidus Group. Since that time, we've been working together, cross staffing projects and benefiting from each other’s expertise. It's been a slow, steady process of increasing cohesion. We've reached the point where we need to assume a single identity, that of NCC Group.

Being a part of this process as it unfolds reminds me a bit of watching the Voltron cartoon series as a child in the '80s. The show featured pilots each commanding their own robot lions. Robot lions are fierce, powerful beings. But when they came together they'd form Voltron - a giant humanoid robot with the lions compromising each of it's parts. I like to think this is what's happening at NCC Group. What were previously separate companies each well accomplished in computer security are becoming a single even more formidable entity. "Form arms and body! And, I'll form the head!"

So, what does this have to do with hiring?

Growing a larger company requires a larger number of individuals. We still need candidates with the same skills as always; programming, reverse engineering, protocol analysis, web application building/breaking, adversarial thinking. We need people who understand technology and can identify flaws in how it's implemented. We need those who can look at a security weakness, and accurately gauge it's relative risk to the organization. And we need folks who can communicate that risk to multiple audiences, in varying levels of detail.

There's no better time than now to join us. Our integration effort has opened up opportunity within the company to focus on areas of specialization, advance skills, and take on ever more complex projects and challenges. If you've always wanted to be part of something new, but found yourself averse to the risk of early stage start ups, joining us now might be a way to do both. We're stable but we're evolving and changing, and our employees will shape what we become.

Please, bear with us on the sites above. We've migrated a boatload of content, and it's likely there will be some website wrinkles. We'll iron them out as soon as we can (mostly we'll just keep breaking interesting software).

By the way, happy to relo from anywhere in the US.

Full-Stack Web Developer (Rails + JS + HTML/CSS + Light Design) | Gotham Dream Cars | Remote | Part-Time+

So this is a bit of a different kind of gig/company. Not Silicon Valley. Not even really tech. But cool :)

GDC (http://www.gothamdreamcars.com) is an ultra-exotic car rental company. I started it about 11 years ago and have built it organically to a multi-city company renting out some of the coolest cars on earth.

A few years ago I dove headfirst into the tech side of things, taught myself to code, brushed off the 'ol design skills, and built our entire tech stack myself - and it now runs the whole company. But I'm focused on other things these days and don't have the time to maintain / continue to develop the site, so it's time to bring someone on board to handle it.

It's not the most world-changing stuff -- essentially a CRUD app with a consumer-facing frontend and admin-facing backend for managing the fleet, booking reservations, doing light CRM, billing, logistics, etc. But it's incredibly satisfying to work on -- every feature directly helps the employees in the office work more efficiently, helps the cars get booked more often, and helps our customers stay happy. It's step-by-step replacing manual processes and has a huge impact on the company, employees and customers.

If you're looking for some satisfying part-time, remote Rails + Frontend work and are interested in directly improving an interesting business that deals with Ferraris and Lamborghinis, this might be ideal for you. There's zero overhead here -- if you have an idea for a feature, you can go ahead code it up and push it live that day.

You don't have to be a senior Rails or JavaScript expert - you just have to be better than I am ;) (I'm a solid intermediate.) But please do have experience with Rails - I'd prefer to work with someone who can hit the ground running.

There's a long list of fun features on my to-do list, so the first few weeks/months would be more involved as you bang out updates and get things caught up, then it would transition to maintenance, new features, new ideas, etc. over time. I expect needing ~30 hrs/week for the first few months and then scaling down to 10-20 hrs/week.

Note I'm pretty serious about "full stack" here -- I've been a one-man band the past few years and you're effectively going to replace me in day-to-day stuff, so while you don't need to be a pro graphic designer too, you should have some basic design skills since it's all you. I'll still be here and can certainly help in this area, but I'm going to lean on you for a majority of the heavy lifting.

A bit about our stack and some of the tasks at hand:

* Rails (currently on 3.2, moving to 4.x) * MongoDB (but that's gotta go, so we're moving to Postgres) * Stylus for CSS (not wedded to it - open to SASS/LESS if it makes sense) * Haml / Slim for HTML templates * JavaScript (currently mess of jQuery - TBD which framework we'll move to) * Git-based workflow

If this sounds interesting/fun and you like the idea of taking ownership over a live web app from top to bottom, take a look at the site, shoot me an email (contact info in HN profile) and we'll discuss.
