On this episode of the podcast, Melanie and Mark talk with Emiliano (Emi) Martínez to learn more about how VirusTotal is helping to create a safer internet by providing tools and building a community for security researchers.

Emiliano (Emi) Martínez

Emiliano has been with VirusTotal for over 10 years. He has seen the business grow from a small startup in southern Spain into a Google X moonshot under the new Chronicle bet. He is a software engineer acting as the Tech Lead for VirusTotal. Throughout the past 10 years, not only has he been immersed in coding and architecting the platform, but he has also participated at all levels of the business: from bootstrapping the very first sales to working close with marketing and other teams in order to take the project to the next level. His main interests are IT security (more specifically malware) and designing products and services from scratch.

VirusTotal and Chronicle are Hiring

VirusTotal is part of Chronicle, and Chronicle is hiring! Come join our team experts to help build out the next generation of security intelligence solutions. We are looking for talent that is comfortable operating in an organization that is scaling quickly, that loves variety in their work and wants to get their hands dirty with all things cyber security, cloud computing, and machine learning.

We are a dynamic organization that likes to run experiments so we are looking for colleagues that are excited about trying new things and offering a creative yet efficient, and client-centric approach to engineering solutions. You are scrappy and resourceful, creative and driven – and excited to share in the magic of working at Chronicle
