We work in a lot of different application domains; the common denominator is "low level". So:

* If you're interested in web security, you'd want to be conversant in protocol-level HTTP; a good acid test might be "could quickly implement chunked encoding".

* If you're interested in OS security, you'd want to be conversant in virtual memory management and system call interfaces; a good acid test might be "could implement the userland side of a system call without using the library stubs".

* If you're interested in software security, you'd want to be conversant in C/C++.

If you're interested in security research at all, feel free to email me. You can't waste my time. The only reason any of these technical items are here is that we hope they'll be attractive to the people we want to hire; we're not trying to disqualify anyone.

PlayHaven is hiring smart Python developers to help disrupt the mobile app discovery space by providing game developers a set of tools to effectively promote their titles for free. In doing so, we provide game players with an effective way to discover the next game they'd love to experience.

PlayHaven was founded by a small, fast-moving group of engineers who iterated their way to a product that started gaining traction quickly and hasn't stopped. We're smart, experienced, ambitious, videogame-loving entrepreneurs, who sometimes spend an unhealthy amount of time analyzing various TV shows. We are backed by some of the best investors on both the East and West coasts.

Here are some links detailing the different roles we're hiring:

I'm not hiring, but people have founds posts about my site helpful in previous threads. I run One Day, One Job: http://www.onedayonejob.com/ The focus is on entry level jobs, but the content consists of company profiles, so it's useful to pretty much anyone looking for a job at at any level. Here are all of the companies that we've featured with positions in Web Development: http://www.onedayonejob.com/entry-level-jo…

To those downvoting, please specify why. Personally, I can see that parent post shouldn't be here, but a suggestion on where to post it would be helpful so that others don't repeat the same mistake.

I'm not downvoting the post, but the service does sound kind of gimmicky. And also, more than a bit off-topic, in that most of the job offerings posted here are far above internship or entry-level.
