DomainTools

DomainTools helps security analysts turn threat data into threat intelligence. We take indicators from your network, including domains and IPs, and connect them with nearly every active domain on the Internet. Those connections inform risk assessments, help profile attackers, guide online fraud investigations, and map cyber activity to attacker infrastructure. Fortune 1000 companies, global government agencies, and leading security solution vendors use the DomainTools platform as a critical ingredient in their threat investigation and mitigation work. We are located in Belltown (downtown Seattle) in a very cool office staffed with smart and energetic co-workers. We provide great benefits and some outstanding perks. Work with big data and machine learning that matters. We're not just trying to sell more ads or widgets, we're helping organizations improve their security and protect against cyber attacks and domain hijacking. Whatever hardware and software you need to do your job. Multiple 30 inch monitors - no problem, fully loaded MacBook Pros - no problem. Access to more processing machines than you can shake a stick at - no problem. Free lunches brought in twice a week plus a kitchen stocked with plenty of snacks and beverages. An incredible Italian espresso machine. A cool, open layout workplace that is blocks from Westlake, Cinerama, and Whole Foods. A ping pong table (matches held every day during lunch time) and a media/game room. And for the last few years we've taken a paid company ski vacation to Whistler, BC!
