These position(s) are only available for local candidates with no possibility for remote work at this point in time. Interested fellow Haskellers may respond directly to me or to jobs@soostone.com.

Soostone is an enterprise analytics company with a technology stack built entirely on Haskell. We work on interesting engineering challenges that span a multitude of topics in our area of expertise, including big-data crunching, predictive models, machine learning, data visualization and web-app development - all predominantly using Haskell. As a full-time member of our team in Ankara, you will work collaboratively with our HQ team in New York and get a chance to put your Haskell skills to use in real-world research, products and services.

Soostone is also very involved with the open source community. Our team members maintain several packages on Hackage, contribute significantly to the Snap Web Framework, co-organize the New York Haskell Meetup and frequently participate in various community debates. We encourage all our team members to play an active role in the community in ways they find interesting and rewarding.

Ideal candidates for this position will have:

• A solid grasp of the Haskell language with an ability to produce working code from from day one (monad transformers, concurrency, streaming IO, dealing with space leaks, etc.)
• Significant experience crafting software products, in academia and/or the industry
• Strong presence in the OSS community with released packages in Hackage considered a big plus
• Good communication skills and comfort in working as part of a team
• Significant experience in a relevant application area such as compilers, distributed computing, numerics, machine learning, simulations or graphics
