Hello!
I work at Swift Navigation, a high-accuracy GPS receiver manufacturer in San
Francisco. We are currently looking to grow out our platform infrastructure team
in the next few months and have **several positions** open for experienced
Haskell developers. We definitely are open to remote candidates.
You can **apply through the posting** here:
of this is reproduced at the end of the email.
If you have any questions, feel free to comment or email me directly at
* About the Work
We are a very small team supporting a zoo of libraries and internal services at
Swift, including a mature ETL pipeline for evaluating our hardware product, as
well an upcoming real-time GPS data product. We open source our work where
possible and appropriate
The ideal candidate will have experience designing and implementing Haskell
backends in a commercial web services environment. A Haskell open-source
background or production experience using another functional programming
language (Scala, Clojure, Erlang, etc.). would also work. We value good
communication skills, technical fluency, and responsibility in our day-to-day,
and would enjoy seeing these personal qualities in future contributors.
* About the Company
We design, test, manufacture, and sell a Linux-based GPS/GLONASS receiver for
machine automation applications, specifically targeting the autonomous vehicle
market. Our work environment is very multidisciplinary, with ~30 engineers
covering many areas of engineering (electrical/firmware, embedded Linux,
statistics, satellite navigation, web, etc.). You definitely don't need
knowledge of these subjects to work here, but you may find it a refreshing
change of pace from typical web app development.

Thanks,
Buro
=================
Swift Navigation is looking for an outstanding software engineer in web
infrastructure. You will work with a small team to push the state of the art in
satellite navigation technology, making high accuracy positioning ubiquitous and
easy to use across a wide variety of industries and applications in unmanned
aerial vehicles, robotics, and autonomous transportation.
As a member of the infrastructure team, you'll contribute to software services
for upcoming networking services as well as internal infrastructure shared
broadly by Swift's R&D teams:
* Services for Networked Sensors. Service-oriented architecture, scientific
modeling services, and distributed message brokers for connected satellite
navigation receivers.
* Integration Infrastructure. Much of our current work involves rigorously
demonstrating that our hardware product works as intended when leaving the lab
for a variety of customer scenarios in real-world environments. You'll build
and use automation frameworks and assemble instrumentation for
hardware-in-the-loop testing, fault injection, and regression testing across
these scenarios, as well as data analysis pipelines and metrics monitoring for
test units under firmware and manufacturing validation.
Candidates should have skills and experience with:
- Software engineering in a production environment (commercial web services)
- Algorithms, data structures, distributed systems, and relational databases
- Haskell, or other typed functional programming languages
- Amazon Web Services (AWS) and its related ecosystem (Docker, etc.) for
application automation and monitoring
- Exceptional problem solving, communication, and collaboration
skills. Flexibility and enthusiasm for learning new programming languages,
tools, and ideas.
Strong candidates will also possess skills in one or more of
- Infrastructure engineering for "real-time" sensor networks
- Python / NumPy / SciPy / Pandas, R and other analysis/scripting platforms
- Version control tools (git), software automation
- Open-source development
