If you want to work at Matasano, you should just mail me; we can give you pointers. :)
I get busy sometimes, and I'm not always as great at responding to mail as I want to be. You can feel free to nag me for as long as your patience holds out. I WILL eventually respond.
The short answer here is "maybe". Specifically: if you take this class and fall in love with the subject matter --- particularly things like memory hardening and finding vulnerabilities --- we'll be happy to hear that. The certification itself doesn't mean anything to us at all. It's the enthusiasm and engagement that we're looking for.
