Yes, we will. We want to be the bridge --- for maybe, I don't know, 9-18 months? --- between "we've reached the point where we think we need a security team" and "we've been doing security long enough as a team that we know what we need for a full-time lead security person".

There's a weird adolescence that happens between those two points where we see people struggling to staff effectively.

We think we can get companies to a point where they've built a solid security program and run it for months before hiring for security --- and that the net result is that you're hiring that role more like how Jason Fried from Basecamp would say you should hire: when you understand the role so well that you know exactly why and how you should hire for it.

We could always be wrong.

I would apply.
