Misc: I have over two years of full-time security consulting and blue team experience at NCC Group and Black Lantern Security. Also, I have two 0days and received CVEs under my name and a company research blog post to go along with it.
I'm eligible for a security clearance and willing to do government work.
Note that they want people with a good amount of experience and be ready to be grilled about technical concepts (explaining how they work/are exploited in detail). 3-4 interview stages starting with the CEO who is former NSA.
Thanks! We do focus on a technical interview, but not trivia. We really want to know where a candidate's expertise and passions lay. We try to do hands on as much as possible. Four stages would be unusual, typically the interview process includes a 30min phone screen followed by a technical panel. Sometimes there may also be a preliminary recruiting call to gauge interest.
Misc: I have over two years of full-time security consulting and blue team experience at NCC Group and Black Lantern Security. Volunteered as an assistant instructor for a Black Hat Secure Coding in C/C++ course by Robert Seacord. Also, I have two 0days and published my research about them. Also worked on a research project for a Fortune 50 company (after I volunteered at NCC).

Yeah this has been a thing since 2012ish and became more popular around 2016/17. Brian Krebs has documented this for the past 8 years. No new news here.
I'm a student at Berea College, which is like Deep Springs College (tuition free, everyone works etc.), but it's a bit bigger. It's a decent college and some work on the campus farm. Most of the faculty are from top tier colleges or are reputable scholars. A few students have transferred to top tier colleges as well. Anyway, the 60 minutes episode about Deep Springs is a good watch!
"My visit to Deep Springs College taught me, in no uncertain terms, to be extremely careful about trusting anyone. Whether it is trusting a leader, trusting the numbers an institution claims, or trusting someone who is making an argument to you about this or that. A substantial majority of the people, institutions, and others we encounter in our day-to-day lives are completely full of shit. Everything is a facade and you really do not know what is real and what is not."
