Concordium | Software Engineer | London, UK / REMOTE in European timezone | Full-time | https://www.concordium.com/
Concordium is the world’s first ID/KYC ready blockchain network, which ensures that every user on the network is identified, and that every transaction involves provenance tracking. These features do not prevent the provision of privacy (based on zero-knowledge proofs), but they provide an environment that we believe will be acceptable to regulators, to public institutions, to financial institutions and to “big business,” while solving a number of key issues in blockchain-based transaction logging such as avoiding single points of failure and providing finality in transactions.
We're working on our own smart contract language called Oak, based on Elm (https://elm-lang.org/). Our aim is to enable formal verification of smart contracts, and create a language that is easy to learn, easy to write but difficult to make mistakes in.
The role involves:
• Oak language compiler and interpreter development in Haskell
• Changes to the Oak language specification
• Integration/collaboration with the other teams/components comprising the rest of our package
We place a greater importance on your mindset than your skills or experience.

Legalstart | Paris, France | Full-time, Onsite, Visa, https://legalstart.fr Python/Django Rest Framework, React, Elm, Styled Components, Storybook, PostgreSQL, RabbitMQ, Docker, AWS
Based in Paris, Legalstart is a leader in the European legal-tech space that aims at profoundly simplifying legal services, starting with making access to justice greatly easier, especially for businesses creators. Our flagship product is simple incorporation in France.
Since the launch of the site at the beginning of 2014, Legalstart has experienced a very strong growth. In this context, we are looking for creative developers to help us extend our product base and grow internationally.
At Legalstart, we strive to improve our technical skills, that means challenging the status quo (we shipped a small blockchain-based product in production), continuously improving our practices (we started using Elm!), staying close to the local community (hosting meetups, conferences)… Also, Legalstart engineers develop a strong ownership of the product itself, and we commit their personal growth.
Apply there if you feel up to the experience!

Proda | Senior Full stack engineers | London | Full-time | ONSITE | 50-85k + equity doe.
Proda is an investor-backed, data-mining startup for the commercial real estate industry; we're making data entry jobs less painful. Our clients have been beta testing our application and the feedback's been incredible: https://bdaily.co.uk/articles/2018/11/01/proptech-startup-pa....
What about the team? We have a high emphasis on continual learning. If you're not learning something new on the job its time for a new one. Our tech stack reflects this; Haskell and Elm are the main languages. We don't mind if its your first exposure to either. We're not afraid of experimenting or making mistakes. The most important quality of anyone on our team is their ability to learn and teach. Our sales pipeline is miles ahead of our development and we're looking to grow the team to deliver more feature our customers. Since we're still young, working with us means you have a lot of influence in shaping the culture and direction of the company. You'll also a chance to grow your skill set faster than somewhere else.
What about The product? We're building a data mining tool that can explicitly learn a relational data model based on sample inputs. It radically improves data entry and data cleaning for financial analysts. Customers have loved our demos and we're understandably coy in our public descriptions.
This is for someone who:
* is comfortable in functional programming, especially Haskell & Elm; and * is experienced shipping complex web software to production; and * has an eagerness to learn and willingness to share knowledge.
A Typical Day looks like:
* Start off writing a feature that requires elm-ports. These can be tricky, so you pair with another developer who has shipped such code before.
* After lunch you're requested to review a Pull Request that fixes a bug you accidentally introduced a couple weeks back. There's no blame, instead some discussion about how our tests and review process could have caught this earlier.
* The afternoon is spent with the Product guys around a whiteboard. You're helping them sketch out architecture for a complex new data-auditing feature that we'll need to deliver a couple of sprints down the line.
We're far more interested in your capacity to learn then the arcana of specific tech tools, but our platform is largely composed of:
- Haskell - Elm - PostgreSQL - Python / scikit-learn - AWS - Automated Testing and CI/CD. Contact us at https://proda.ai or check my profile
NoRedInk |Engineering Manager/Developer, Full-Stack, and Site Reliability Engineers | San Francisco, CA | REMOTE Pacific Time (PST) to Central European Time (CET)
We’re an ed-tech company on a mission to help all students become strong writers! Our team may be small, but NoRedInk is used by 1 in 2 school districts in the US, and students have answered over 5 billion questions on our platform.
We’re a group of friendly people who listen to and learn from each other. We discuss past mistakes openly so we can adapt our processes to the challenges that come with progress. Puns flow freely across our San Francisco office as well as on Slack, and we have remote engineers spanning six different time zones.
Our engineering team [1] prides itself on code quality and innovation. We use the cutting-edge Elm programming language for all our new front-end code, and have been migrating legacy React code to Elm as well. Our back-end is primarily Ruby on Rails, although we are working to split off smaller services as we scale to keep up with our traffic. You can read about our experiences with these technologies on our team blog! [2]
In addition to spending work hours open-sourcing useful libraries we develop [3], we also invest financially in open source. We hired the creator of Elm, Evan Czaplicki, to develop Elm full time. [4] Evan discusses his plans for the language with the team every week, periodically pairs with other engineers on Elm, and cracks up members of the sales team with his lunchtime jokes.
We use Amazon AWS for our infrastructure and automate all of our deployments using Chef and OpsWorks. We write a lot of tests, and use Jenkins for continuous integration. Our process for new features begins with our product team and in-house visual designer, continues with a GitHub pull request from a feature branch into master, and ends with our in-house QA specialist trying to break it before it reaches production.
We’re looking for engineers who want to work on a mission that makes a difference and who are the type of collaborators that value kindness and open-mindedness, over convincing the group they’re right.
You can learn more about what to expect through blog posts about our interview process [5] and on-boarding experience [6].
