[Haskell-cafe] Haskell Job Opportunity (Remote Work)
Hello, ShotVibe is an early-stage Israeli startup company in the mobile photo sharing space. We are looking for an experienced or expert level Haskell programmer for backend web related projects. The work will be done by you remotely, using a freelancer model, with the potential for longer term work in the near future (also remote). One of the projects we have is a server application that queues messages that are to be sent to end user mobile phones, and pushes them through the "push notification" APIs supplied by Google and Apple. The work needed here involves some bug fixes, and some new features. This project will likely eventually be open sourced. Another project that we need to be written from scratch is a web application that handles photo uploads and processes them (including verifying user authentication with our main web backend, image resizing, and storing images on Amazon S3). This will probably end up only a few hundred lines of Haskell code, but involves integrating a bunch of stuff together. We are also interested in experimenting in using Haskell for some other areas of our backend where we are currently using Python. If you are interested you may contact me at: be...@shotvibe.com Please feel free to forward this email to any friends or acquaintances that may be interested. ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe

I have to admit, it's just one criterion too much for me. I can manage to satisfy all of them except for willing to work in Manhattan.

Though he had no prior experience with Haskell, or functional programming for that matter, in a few months he became a very proficient Haskell developer. I've also experienced many engineers with advanced degrees from prominent schools who have had tremendous difficulty understanding the language -- and the benefits -- of Haskell. I'm starting to believe people are either wired for it, or they are not. > - Can work in the Manhattan area (cuts out a *lot* of people) My boss has said that the relative time zone is just as good as co-location. So I'd like to put a call out for resumes, which would help me build a case for opening reqs in the US -- and Canada and Central and South America for that matter. We need people interest in: - hybrid vehicles - electro-hydraulics - feedback control systems - safety-critical, hard real-time embedded - compiler design - formal methods - and of course, functional languages We use Haskell for many tools and Atom for embedded code and verification (http://hackage.haskell.org/package/atom). http://www.eaton.com ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe

Haskell is still exotic enough that it has a disproportionate amount of Giant Brains among its practitioners. Companies tend to want to hang on to these, even in a recession. -- Sebastian Sylvan ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe

I've posted this before but did not get a whole lot of responses, so here it is again: Principal investment firm based in Manhattan is looking for an outstanding software developer to develop and maintain the firm's proprietary valuation models as well as accounting and portfolio management systems. You should have at least a bachelor’s degree in computer science from a top university and impeccable coding style. This is a high-impact, high-visibility job opportunity where successful candidates will be entrusted with a lot of responsibility for products that have a direct effect on the P&L of the firm and influences our workflow. This is a very small hedge fund with me being the only developer right now. The next hire will have a very direct say into how this side of our business progresses from here. We are a growth oriented firm that values people who take a craftsman’s pride in their work. We always like to take a contrarian view of things, value experimenting and using often overlooked technologies. That is one of the main reasons why we currently started using Haskell in developing our quantitative models. We are looking for a candidate who shows strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills. Attention to detail is essential, i.e. we fully document everything we do and pay a lot of attention to coding style. The majority of our existing code was written in Java, so you should have at least some experience with Java and related technologies, in order to be able to maintain the existing code. But as I mentioned above, Haskell has now become my choice of language and eventually all of the existing code will have to be re-written in Haskell. Background in accounting is not necessary but is definitely a plus. Please send your CV and cover letter to recruitment at karamaan.com, or reply to this post if you have any questions.

Hello, Eaton (eaton.com, Eden Prairie, MN US) is seeking software engineers for design and verification of electro-hydraulic control systems for industrial, automotive, and aerospace applications. Though I am still trying to get Haskell on the official job description, here are a few of the potential Haskell applications: - Domain specific languages. - Compiler design and embedded code generation. - Model checking and equivalence checking. - SAT decision procedures. - Constrained random simulation. - Software timing analysis. General knowledge of the following would be helpful: - Control theory. - Real-time, embedded programming. - Automotive and industrial systems. - Hydraulics and fluid power. If interested, send me a resume. Thanks! -Tom Hawkins ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
