Ask HN: Finding a New Jobs as a Team

12 points by deadly_syn ↗ HN
Recently my security team was made aware by senior leadership that we are not valued and are only there to check a box for compliance. This sucks because our team of 6 works amazingly well together and we want to continue that momentum. Does anyone know of any companies trying to hire an entire INFOSEC team at the moment?

Start your own company together?

That's what we're thinking about currently, but we lack capital and ideas.

Security consulting seems like a thing.

Interesting. I'm looking to rebase my entire team (similar size) in another country and I am closely looking at Portugal. I want them to have a passport that actually lets them pass ports, as opposed to the one they're holding. We're holding. They're between seven and twelve years younger than me and I want them to have actual mobility before they are my age today.

I would have loved to talk with you but we have no "monies". Maybe in a few years when we have many monies to hire you all. I know exactly what you mean when you talk about a tiny, tightly knit, team that slays dragons.

Unrelated, but checked out your site and how are you offering a 99.999 SLA when you run on AWS (and other clouds) and AWS's own compute SLA is 99.99 ?

I don’t know much about SLAs, but isn’t it simply business risk?

If they Can’t meet their SLA and are only up 99.99% then they might give a 50% discount to the customer. It could be a risk they dare to take since they might have figured out in practice that AWS is up far more often and that the chance of not meeting their own SLA is one in twenty years. So on average, it would mean they will have 97.5% of their revenue, since in one year (on average) they wouldn’t meet their SLA and give a 50% discount (contributing 2.5% instead of 5% over a 20 year total). I assumed no company growth, for the sake of my example.

Just brainstorming

Or potentially they could have multi-cloud failover and have decided there aren't enough co-dependent failures to push them under their SLA. I'd personally assume your interpretation is most correct though.

AWS can be completely down, or portions of it like Route 53. We leverage triple redundancies to avoid failure and provide extreme high availability.

We harness the combined power of AWS, GCP and Azure. If AWS is down, users are served from GCP and Azure - and vice versa. Happy to demo and get into the details. Feel free to fill out the form at https://controlplane.com.
