　　Tanium | Emeryville, CA (SF) or Morrisville, NC (RTP) or REMOTE

　　https://www.tanium.com/careers/?gh_src=qprker8f1

　　Tanium's product is basically computer security & management software for government and large enterprises. It's orders of magnitude faster than most competition, and customers love it. Fortune called us the "Usain Bolt of cyber-security" [1], and Forbes put us at #4 on the Cloud 100 list [2].

　　The former CIO of the US Air Force, said that Tanium is "game-changing ... allowing a tremendous amount of automation and reduced workloads for our network operations people significantly, meaning things that used to take them months is now down to seconds, or minutes." [3] The USAF used Tanium to patch all of their systems for WannaCry in 41 minutes and consider any system without our software as "high risk". [4]

　　Fortune featured us as one of the best medium-sized places to work [5], and the Great Place to Work survey put us at #18 in Best Workplaces in the Bay Area [6].

　　Benefits include healthcare, 401k match, self-directed/unlimited vacation time (most folks take 4-5 weeks), paid time off for volunteering, extensive parental leave, fertility and adoption benefits, and more.

　　Compensation is near FAANG levels with strong base pay, large annual bonuses, and equity in the form of RSUs. The recruiting team can share more details there.

　　We get everyone together 4 times a year to keep the remote staff from feeling too remote, and most teams do zoom calls for standup 2-3 times a week.

　　We have roles open in Engineering, Technical Account Management, Security, Sales, Legal, Marketing, Finance, HR, Accounting, and more. I called out a few interesting positions below.

　　Feel free to ask me about anything, reply here or email nathan.friedly@[company site].

　　Senior Software Engineer - Tanium's Product Engineering is an all-star team with a quality-focused culture. I've never felt like I was the smartest guy in the room here.

　　Every PR requires a code review and passing of automated testing before merging, and the ticket is later followed up with a verification to ensure the changes actually met the requirements.

　　No one says "not my job", and depending on what you're doing, you might find yourself writing C++, JavaScript (Node.js, React, AngularJS), Python, Go (golang), or Rust - I did all but one of those within the past year. (95% of my work is JS, though - you do mostly stick to your job ;)

　　On-site or US Remote: https://www.tanium.com/careers/?p=department&t=Engineering&g...

　　Enterprise Services Engineer - This is a new role in response to customer demand, where we're managing Tanium software directly for customers instead of only training and advising their employees.

　　In particular, we are looking for a number of IT Professionals with active Top Secret or Sensitive Compartmented Information clearance (TS or TS/SCI) in support of one of our Federal customers in the Ft. Meade area: https://www.tanium.com/apply-now/?gh_jid=1610524&gh_src=d2f2...

　　Additional roles open in US Remote or on site in Atlanta, Charlotte, Chicago, Colorado Springs, Fort Meade, Quantico, Reston, San Antonio, or Washington D.C.:

　　https://www.tanium.com/careers/?p=department&t=Enterprise%20...

　　Associate or Director of Technical Account Management - The TAM organization is central to our company, and doesn't have any real parallels that I'm aware of. As a TAM, you'd be expected to set up a home lab with a network of machines (or VMs) running our software, and you'd be primarily responsible for advising 2~5 customers on how best to use Tanium. However, TAMs come from all kinds of backgrounds including sysadmin, ops, programming, and security, and really work together as a team to support each other and meet the needs of each customer.

　　(Note: "Director" is indicative of the responsibility level, but Director TAM is not a people-managing role.)

　　The organization also has open roles for Customer Success, Solutions Architect, and Enterprise Integration Developer.

　　TAM roles are primarily remote/work from home, but we try to have them near the customers they support. We're currently looking for folks in a number of US cities as well as Austria, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Netherlands, Sweden, or Switzerland.

　　https://www.tanium.com/careers/?p=department&t=Technical%20A...

　　Director of Strategic Accounts - We're looking for a number of sales people to fill various roles including, in particular, Director of Strategic Accounts.

　　These are primarily remote roles, looking for people based in Australia, France, Germany, Japan, Sweden, Switzerland, the US and the UK.

　　MixRank (YC S11) | Software Engineers | 100% REMOTE (Global) | Full-Time

　　MixRank processes petabytes of data every month from web crawling. We have hundreds of customers using our data products including Google, Amazon, Facebook, Intel, and Adobe, across industries including Finance, Recruiting, Sales, Marketing, and Security.

　　We’re a fully-remote company with a global footprint in over 20 countries. We're growing, profitable, employee-owned, no dependence on outside funding. Applicants from all geographies and backgrounds are welcome.

　　We are looking for passionate individuals for whom programming is not just a job but it’s something they love to do. We're obsessed with computers, programming, big data, databases, compilers, hardware, math, data science, and the internet. Does this sound like you? Please apply to join our team.

　　Our code base is very friendly to new contributors. You'll have a fully-functional development environment within hours (fully automated) and be pushing commits on your first day. Deployments to production happen multiple times per day and finish in less than 2 minutes. Effectively all of our codebase is written in Python, Rust, SQL, Javascript/TypeScript, and Nix. The core technologies you'll need familiarity with to be productive are Python, PostgreSQL, Linux, and Git.

　　We operate at a larger scale than typical startups. We operate two datacenters with high performance servers we've built that are capable of dealing with the volumes of data we process. We've implemented our own distributed file system. We do full-scale web crawls. We download and perform static analysis on the entire universe of Android APKs and iOS IPAs that are published. Unlike a typical startup where you'll spend half of your time in meetings, and the other half fixing bugs from Jira tickets— at MixRank you'll get to challenge yourself with difficult technical problems that will help you to grow as an individual.

　　We're hiring continuously for the positions below— they aren't singular positions that will close once filled. Our philosophy on hiring is that the candidate is more important than the position. For each new member of the team, we design a custom role and responsibilities that are specialized to their interests. Other companies will come up with a long list of specific requirements for a position with the expectation that you'll exactly replace someone from the team, or that you'll be the perfect tetris piece that satisfies the job requirements decided by a committee. MixRank is more pragmatic: we'll first get excited about having a unique individual on the team, then we'll figure out the best way to accommodate their specific talents.

To stand out, please highlight what makes you unique: passion for computing, curiosity and side projects, work ethic, niche research, etc.

　　Ideally you've already graduated, but if you still have one or more years left of school, please feel free to apply anyway, and if you're the right fit for the team we'll figure out a way to accommodate your schedule.

　　Software Engineer - Remote (Global), Full-Time

　　We're hiring generalist software engineers to work on web applications, data mining, machine learning/data science, data transformation/ETL, data modeling, database scaling, infrastructure, devops, and more. We'll cater the role to whatever subset of these areas match your interests.

　　Applicants from Central America, South America, Europe, Asia, and Africa are especially encouraged.

When considering hiring a hacker, it's crucial to approach the situation legally and ethically. Here's a structured guide to help you navigate the process responsibly:

1. Define Your Objective

• Purpose: Clearly identify why you need a hacker. Legitimate reasons include penetration testing, vulnerability assessments, or recovering a compromised account.
• Legality: Ensure your goal complies with laws. Unauthorized access (e.g., hacking someone else’s system) is illegal.

2. Seek Ethical Hackers

• Terminology: Use terms like "penetration tester" or "cybersecurity consultant" to attract professionals.
• Platforms:
  • Cybersecurity Firms: Reputable companies offering certified services.
  • Freelance Platforms: Upwork, Toptal, or Bugcrowd for vetted experts.
  • Certifications: Look for CEH, OSCP, CISSP, or CompTIA Security+.

3. Vetting Process

• Credentials: Verify certifications and professional background.
• References/Portfolio: Request case studies or client testimonials.
• Trials: Start with a small project to assess skills and reliability.

4. Legal and Contractual Safeguards

• Contract: Draft a clear agreement outlining scope, boundaries, and confidentiality. Consult a lawyer.
• Authorization: Ensure written permission for testing systems (e.g., a "Get Out of Jail Free Card" for penetration testers).

5. Avoid Scams

• Escrow Payments: Use platforms with escrow services to secure payments.
• Avoid Dark Web: Steer clear of illegal markets; focus on legitimate channels.

6. Budgeting

• Costs: Research rates—freelancers may charge 50–200/hour, while firms have project-based pricing.
• Transparency: Ensure no hidden fees and align expectations with budget.

7. Post-Engagement

• Reporting: Request detailed reports on vulnerabilities and remediation steps.
• Follow-Up: Plan for ongoing security checks or updates.

Ethical Reminder

• Legality First: Never engage in hacking for malicious purposes. Ethical hacking must always have explicit permission.
• Transparency: Maintain clear communication with the hired professional to avoid misunderstandings.

By following these steps, you can address security needs responsibly while minimizing legal and ethical risks.
