Neill Occhiogrosso of Costanoa Venture Capital discusses areas for exploration in infosec as IT mega-trends and would-be hacker profiles change.

We’re looking for well-rounded engineers who are comfortable working throughout our entire stack.

This position is an opportunity for an engineer to take ownership of significant technical areas in a small, growing company. In particular, this position offers the chance to tackle complex analytical problems across a large data set in a tech-centric company.

In fact if you have any open source or web apps, show em to us, they speak louder than resumes
