Thomas, I've been curious about this for the past several "who's hiring" threads: What do your devs do? Specifically the web-ruby dev(s)? Are you building a web-based security product? Is it the classic transition from consulting to product type play? Does the product exist yet? Are customers using it? How much of your business does the product represent? If these are sensitive questions, pardon me, I'm really just interested as someone who follows you here on HN.
- tptacek 16y agoWe currently sell a product (Playbook) that manages firewalls for large companies that have lots and lots of firewalls. Think Github, but for network security teams. That product is staffed by full-time developers (not consultants). We are starting work on a new, totally unrelated product. Same deal: small team of full-time developers, "funded" by the output of our (considerably larger) consulting shop. We're not at a place where we're comfortable talking specifically about what the new product is, but it meshes with our consulting services much more than Playbook does; it's a web application security offering.
