CryptoMove | San Francisco Bay Area | Fulltime | Onsite
=== WHO WE ARE ===
Our core technology is built in a distributed programming language, Hello, that we invented. We're very early -- still less than ten people.
We're well-funded by angels from Cyphort, Kenna Security, Cisco, angels who seeded Palantir and Airware, and our team has 4 exits, including Twitter's IPO, an acquisition by Twitter, and an acquisition by Cisco.
=== WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR ===
Lots of fun, lots of challenging work to do, and deep tech.
=== SOME JOB POSTINGS ===

Thanks!

As a related note to building dependable distributed systems, we've spoken to a few ex-military cyber security engineers and private company security engineers / researchers who say that our new distributed programming language "Hello" would be useful for building powerful and fast distributed security applications. Would appreciate any thoughts/feedback on it.

Many great businesses were started by founders aged 50+.
"The average and median age of U.S.-born tech founders was thirty-nine when they started their companies. Twice as many were older than fifty as were younger than twenty-five."

50+ here, starting https://www.trycryptomove.com. Some of the top cybersecurity advisors (and our increasingly growing list of pilot customers) seem to believe in me just fine. Age is just a number!
Languages, tools, and frameworks evolve (including the brand new distributed programming language I invented, 'Hello', available at http://www.amsdec.com/).
But good software architecture and engineering is an art that improves with time.

Agreed, Whisper is doing this right.

You are right on.
We're working on something in this vein -- https://www.trycryptomove.com -- our technology does security via continuous concealment. Actively defends against insider attacks and catastrophic breaches, because the attacker can't even identify the data.
We've gotten two types of reactions: (1) we get it, layered security, defense in depth; (2) solution in search of a problem, we have good host security, we have a good firewall, legacy data-at-rest security is good enough. Thankfully far more of #1 than #2, but it's telling about an organization's approach to security.

Right, and also good security solutions should have active defense features that fight breaches as they occur. Most breached organizations don't know they've been breached until months later...

Our approach here is to make security usable to developers via a programmatic interface/API, so users' data is better protected without them having to do anything at all.
Eventually if/when we think about making consumer-facing wrappers to CryptoMove, the key is going to be usability. Security will need to be as easy/fun as consumer applications. Easier said than done though.

Have you checked out Hello at www.amsdec.com?

Have you checked out http://www.cryptomove.com? The thesis is precisely that encryption is a losing game of cat and mouse, so instead continuous concealment is the last line of defense.

First killer app is CryptoMove, available at www.cryptomove.com (Twitter: @cryptomove). Please enjoy Hello! We hope developers everywhere start building with it.
