What is Vontu?
Vontu is a 4 year old software startup located in the heart of San Francisco. Vontu is the market and innovation leader in Data Loss Prevention, one of the hottest areas in security. Vontu is the undisputed market leader and has beaten our competitors in every public bake-off and in virtually every customer account, based on strength of our team and our product.
Vontu Culture
We would like to give you a good idea how it feels to work at Vontu. We value the strength of our team above everything else. We keep communications wide open in all directions - within and across departments and to and from executive management. We openly discuss all aspects of our business, and we keep politics to a minimum. We learn from each other, and we help each other. We focus on a common goal, which is the success of our customers, and through it - the success of our business. We do not have walls in our office, or even cubicles, because we believe that walls of any kind are not helpful. We are open to employees working from home on a limited basis, especially those with long commutes.
Engineering at Vontu
Our Engineering department is small but growing, and is exceptionally strong. It is strong both because of the experience and talents of individuals, and because of a culture of cooperation, mentoring, learning and focus on team success. Our product incorporates an unusually wide set of technologies: we work in areas of information retrieval; genetic, statistical and learning algorithms, natural language analysis; fast classification and content inspection of network protocols; application level network infrastructure; distributed multi-tier enterprise applications; high volume databases; and human computer interaction. We do not pigeon-hole people; most of us like to work on various areas of the product and in various technologies, and it makes our team agile. We are true innovation leaders – with each release of our product we apply for several patents, and everyone in engineering contributes. But ultimately what drives us is solving real problems of our customers.
