Hello, Yahoo!, the little internet portal that could, has a number of openings for unixy security people. It's no secret that Yahoo! is using FreeBSD for a large portion of their hosts, but the job requirements are in general not all that operating system specific. I consider NetBSD people to be mostly of the smarter group, so I figured I'd post this mail here, too. The overall sales pitch for the company goes something like this: "Think about impacting 1 out of every 2 people online--in innovative and imaginative ways that are uniquely Yahoo!. We do just that each and every day, and you could too. After all, it's big thinkers like you who will create the next generation of Internet experiences for consumers and advertisers across the globe. Now's the time to show the world what you've got. Put your ideas to work for over half a billion people." In addition, Y! is a very fun place to work, and there are few places that operate on a scale like this, so you get to solve problems that others won't ever encounter. This also means that we have a fairly big target painted on our back, which in turn leads to busy and interesting days in the security area... We currently have three positions open in the core "Paranoids" group which is responsible for pretty much all things security, ranging from vulnerability assessment to software architecture and review, incidence response, forensics and prevention, assessment of mergers and acquisitions to developing monitoring tools etc. etc. - Security Software Engineer - Scanning, Monitoring (1 position) Location: Sunnyvale, CA, USA http://careers.yahoo.com/jdescription.php?frm=search_results&oid=29845 - Tech Yahoo, Paranoid, Principal (2 positions) Location: Sunnyvale, CA, USA http://careers.yahoo.com/jdescription.php?frm=search_results&oid=36864 If you are interested, please let me know (or, if you so choose, apply directly online). Thanks! -Jan
