I think it's interesting that while there are a ton of breaches, we only know about them because HHS requires breach reporting when it affects over 500 patients. How often is this happening in other industries where such regulations don't exist?
This is the thing. HIPAA is really a gold standard in data security legislation. As terrible as it is (e.g. the fax machine loophole, which is surely put there for lawyers), at least there's something punitive. And other things can be tied to it: grants, FDA can disbar them from collaborating in drug development, etc.
Imagine breach notifications for a company like Facebook. FCC could disbar you from transmitting data over mobile networks.
In California that’s been the law for over a decade. Arguably, California’s breach disclosure law is the reason we know about the vast majority of large breaches we hear about.

At Wellframe, we are building an intelligent care-management platform that allows health plans and care-delivery organizations to better manage large populations of complex patients. Because the most clinically complicated cases in a patient population tend to drive a majority of the costs, even seemingly small improvements in these patients’ well-being have dramatic benefits for the care provider. Wellframe focuses on improving patient health by providing personalized and adaptive care programs for people trying to recover from or manage serious health problems. We use the health data we collect in order to intelligently allot care resources to the specific needs of patients, paying special attention to the most-critical patients. Through clinical studies and working with large healthcare payers, we have seen that our platform improves patient outcomes, increases the capacity of care management teams and reduces costs of the care provider.
We have a relatively small engineering team at about 10 engineers. What makes us unique is that we have a full time clinical team of doctors that work with us to break down clinical science so that we can build it back up into personalized and adaptive care programs. We're currently looking for several mid/senior engineering positions (android, iOS, frontend, infra/platform, sre) across our engineering team. More descriptions can be found on our jobs page (below). If you're in the area I'd love to just grab coffee regardless of whether or not you're actively looking to move -- I love talking to other passionate, driven people about what they do.
For those interested in some specifics: We have Android, iOS, and web (backbone, react) products. We're currently running most of our API on Rails but heavily migrating toward Scala for most of our backend/data services. Other keywords in case someone is searching: Spark, Spark Streaming, Akka, Python, Mesos.

We're a relatively small engineering team (10+) tackling some really interesting problems within the healthcare space. What makes our team interesting is that we have a great engineering team working with medical doctors to solve some of the most complex problems in healthcare.

http://learnto.com - A fun side project I worked on that allows people to learn and teach (in person) with those in their community.
Target market was medium/large organizations -- think large incubators, co-working spaces, companies. These separate organizations would have their own landing pages, learning cultures, etc.
I also did two internship at Amazon and had a different experience.
There's probably a ton of people who love their job and a ton who "hate" their job -- it's a huge company and you're gonna find everyone. However, I do think that the culture has it's flaws, namely that the core values include frugality.
Working at other startups and large companies I've seen a new way, a much better one. Amazon cuts on the expenses to save their bottom line. Other companies do as much as possible for their employees. It leads to a much happier person (IMO). Free food, nice perks, etc. I'm more productive and work much longer (at my last internship I spend 12 consecutive nights at work). I distinctly remember everyone on my team being jealous of other companies and their free food/drinks/perks and always talking about how nice it must be there.
It might have been a truely great experience, but just by the sound of it it's hard to endorse as a 'nice to be there' style of work. Did you have to convince your manager to let you do it, or was it just part of the ambient mood to stay so much?
It was more of me wanting to hangout and chill after work, followed by me wanting to work and get stuff done before a launch. I was told many many times to go home and take days off. Just my personality to work a lot.
