Well, it's been roughly a year since I first posted here to the securityjobs list, and I still haven't found any permanent position I'm interested in. I am getting to -really- dislike consulting---spend too much time looking for contracts and end up dealing with too many bozos, solving the same problems over and over.
So, I'll ask the list again: anyone out there looking for, or know of someone
looking for a serious information security goon? I'm a UNIX bigot
(I use OpenBSD by preference and edit everything with vi, if that helps you
peg me), and spend a lot of my spare time writing statistical intrusion
detection code. In short, I'm really not looking for entry-level stuff.
The ideal employer I'm lookin' for:
-Considers security a top priority
-Isn't already married to vendors for their security widgets
-Is organised such that a single motivated individual can make
things happen on a day-to-day basis
Ideally, I like working for smaller shops---startups, previously. The main
reason for this is I prefer to build things from the ground up rather than
try to fix 'em after the fact. I have experience working in just about every
kind of environment from brand-new startups to multinationals, from research
institutions to financial services companies.
I won't bother posting a resume, but if anyone is interested I can supply 'em
with one. I currently live and consult in the Silicon Valley/San Jose area.
I'd be willing to entertain the idea of relocating for the right position.
Thanks for your time.
