I found contentment required years of therapy and two types of antidepressants. Turns out if you feel you always need something new you may be depressed! Who knew.
True. We mostly create prototypes which are then matured by other companies. We're coders - lots of people a few years out of school, with some experienced guys. Basically, if you want to sling code, you come to me. If you want to do other parts of software engineering (architecture, systems engineering, etc) you go to another dept.
Honestly, slinging prototype code probably could be outsourced. The hard problems of finishing, polishing, scaling, running, and iterating are where you need deep tech and business expertise.
I suspect if you expand more on details, you may be able to help us understand what makes you different, but "we code" isn't making that argument.
When I joined at 43 the average age of the company was in the late 50's. It's dropped a bit, but not much. And I run the DevOps group in my department, so we do things that would interest you. We're strong engineers, but we value expertise over the latest buzz words. Trust me, I plan on retiring here.
I second Mitre. They didn't hire me after an interview, but they're soooooooo nice and welcoming. Such a professional, nice company that does crazy futuristic science.
I have a hard time understanding what MITRE is or does from their website. Wikipedia helped:
>The Mitre Corporation is an American not-for-profit organization based in Bedford, Massachusetts, and McLean, Virginia. It manages federally funded research and development centers (FFRDCs) supporting several U.S. government agencies.
They do non partisan research for the government. They are meant to give them the info to make decisions. They're business is primarily run on govt dollars
Actually, I am a big fan of the work you do for CVEs, I have had the privilege of having technical discussions on security vulnerabilities and you guys seemed to know almost every trick in the book.
Now that you mentioned it, I believe you guys have been imbibed with years of valuable experience, it is an absolute pleasure to interact with your team.
