MA. Cambridge and the greater Boston area. Full time.
I work at MIT Lincoln Laboratory (http://www.ll.mit.edu http://www.ll.mit.edu), a research and development center run by MIT that does work for the government. My group has about 20 people in it and does application security, reverse engineering, and other low level systems stuff. Knowledge of things like assembly, operating systems, and systems are pluses but not required. It's great if you have some experience in those things, but if you can code I want to talk to you. The pluses:
* Extremely difficult and rewarding problems. In the past few weeks my work has had me hacking on a compiler, scaling up databases, reversing malware, etc. We're a really agile and tight knit group.
* Awesome workplace culture. We're a 9-5 shop, you pick your laptop, and you can order any books that you need.
* We reimburse tuition for classes at MIT. Last semester my office mate took operating systems with Robert Morris. We send you to conferences, including Blackhat and Defcon.
* We sponsor relocation and have multiple positions we want to fill.
You do need to be a US citizen and you will have to get a security clearance. I'm happy to talk to you about how the clearance process works and answer any questions you have. If you're local I'll buy you a cup of coffee while we talk it over. You really can't waste my time. The first step is to get in touch with me and I can explain to you how our hiring process works.

- gallamine 15y agoI have a question related to MIT-LL: How particular are they about GPAs for graduate school? I'm given to understand they filter heavily on them for undergrad, but is that still the case for MS/PhD?
- hellixor 15y agoGPAs tend me mean less in graduate school, but also tend to be very inflated. I would think you would still have issues if your GPA is in the 2.x range in graduate school.
