Riskbook | Haskell Backend Developer | REMOTE (Worldwide) | Full-time
We're looking for another Haskell developer to help us build the world's best reinsurance trading platform.
# About Us
Riskbook is a funded startup based in London, but our team are distributed. We intend to keep it that way. We favour asynchronous communication, and try to hire "managers of one". We don't do daily stand-ups. We don't count your hours. We don't work weekends. We do code review, but it is not militant, and we do not tolerate sarcasm, aggression, rudeness, gatekeeping, or elitism. We support each other in working and learning, and we have a dedicated fortnightly "Research Day" where every programmer is free to not do chores for the product, and instead investigate/learn/play with whatever technology they choose. Want to learn more about type-level programming? Property-based testing? Expert systems? Go right ahead!
# About the Tech
We use Haskell with both the Yesod and Servant frameworks, and we use Elm for parts of the UI where we feel it makes sense. Otherwise, we try to keep most logic on the server in our fairly traditional monolithic application. Parts of our system are Event Sourced, and we're mostly using PostgreSQL for persistence, with a bit of Redis thrown in for good measure. Our infrastructure is managed with Nix on AWS. We do not have any legacy system written in PHP or Ruby or whatever, as many companies do. We do not have a micro-services architecture, and we have no intention to build one.
You can read more about the tech here (although our Haskell code has grown considerably since this was published): https://serokell.io/blog/haskell-in-industry-riskbook
# About You
You must have demonstrable experience building things in idiomatic Haskell, and you should have a solid understanding of how web applications typically work. A degree is not required. You will need to be able to write SQL queries. In most cases we write ours with Persistent/Esqueleto.
You should be able to communicate clearly in English, but you do not need to speak excellent English. As most of our communication is written and asynchronous, it is important to us that we find someone who can describe their approach to problem solving in written form — we can't have people working in complete isolation, and occasionally throwing completed tasks over the fence.
You have flexible working hours and you can work from anywhere, though this is a full-time position and the expectation is that of work based on a traditional 40 hour week.
Interested? Introduce yourself to me at jezen@riskbook.com and let me know your current situation and expectations.

Onai | | San Jose / New York | FULL TIME, CONTRACTORS, GRADUATE INTERNS, POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWS, REMOTE
We're tackling exciting difficult challenges and building offerings relevant to interesting real-world problems in a variety of fields. We have particular strengths in dispersed computation, functional programming, cryptography, and deep learning.
We're currently most interested in engineers with solid experience in Rust, Haskell/Idris, or cryptography. We also have openings for enthusiastic developers or researchers who might lack this precise experience but are eager and able to learn. We welcome internship/fellowship interest from postdoctoral scholars or senior graduate students.
We do not presently have openings for current/recent undergraduates.
Wherever you are in the world, send your resume to info@onai.com and we'll let you know if there's a potential fit.
Radix Labs | Software Engineers esp. Front End Engineers | Cambridge, MA, USA (Boston area) | Full Time and Co-Op/INTERNS Biology has talented PhD Biologists spend 5 hours a day on hard to reproduce, unoptimized minutia that isn’t innovative. Radix Labs hopes to accelerate biotech innovation like early compilers did for computing by enabling lab protocols to seamlessly operate and be optimized across physical labs. Our software makes biology reproducible, faster, more efficient, and lets smart biologists focus on the science instead of managing the implementation. We do this by developing a compiler, operating system, scheduler, and device drivers for biology labs and protocols. We have funding from Ycombinator (S18), Firstminute Capital, MIT's The Engine, and Nikesh Arora.
Technologies: 100% Scala code base but we don't require you know it already. (It's helpful if you have past functional programming experience with Erlang, Ocaml, Prolog, Haskell, or similar.) Other tech: HashiCorp stack (Nomad, Consul, & Terraform), Apache Kafka, Akka, ScalaJS React, Z3, Cats, Bazel w/ rules_scala, (some) AWS.
We're especially looking for an experienced front end developer to lead developing our front end visual programming language that biologists use to describe their protocols to the rest of our software. Come join our world-class diverse, inclusive, and caring team! You won't be the only woman, trans person, POC, latino, non-US citizen, wearer of silly hats, or parakeet! We will consider remote candidates and those who need visa sponsorship on a case-by-case basis. We offer equity, great salary, unlimited PTO, medical, dental, and vision insurance, mechanical keyboard budget, and flexible work hours. Any questions, send me an email: halie at radix.bio
