The Intercept laid me off

Last month, The Intercept laid me off along with fifteen other employees — one-third of the newsroom. I'm officially on the job market. My current title is Director of Information Security. I've been working in media for the last decade, but I'm also open to engineering or security roles in other sectors — as long as I'm working on interesting problems and doing good things for the world. Please tell me about open positions that would be a good fit, or if you want to hire me! You can email me at micah@micahflee.com.
