Hi Cafe,
The Strats team at Standard Chartered is hiring expert typed FP developers for Haskell dev roles in London.
This is a "front office" finance role - meaning you will work directly with traders building software to automate and improve their efficiency. The role is very development focused, and you will use Haskell for almost all tasks: data analysis, DSLs, market data publishing, databases, web services, desktop GUIs, large parallel tasks, quantitative models, solvers, everything. There may be a small amount of C++ or F# on occasion. This is a fast paced role - code you write today will be deployed within hours to hundreds of users and has to work.
You will join an expert team in London, and significant, demonstrable experience in typed FP (Haskell, OCaml, F# etc) is strongly preferred. We have more than 2 million lines of Haskell, and our own compiler. In this context we look for skill and taste in typed API design to capture and abstract over complex, messy systems.
Experience writing typed APIs to external systems such as databases, web services, pub/sub platforms is very desirable. We like working code, so if you have Hackage or github libraries, we want to see them. We also like StackOverflow answers, blog posts, academic papers, or other arenas where you can show broad FP ability.
The role requires physical presence on the trading floor in London. Remote work isn't an option. Ideally you have some project and client management skills -- you will talk to users, understand their problems, and then implement and deliver what they really need. No financial background is required.
