Fwd: Haskell job opportunity: Platform Architect at Peerium, Inc.

Hey all, Below is a job opportunity for a Haskell programmer at Peerium, Inc. I was asked for forward to the community. Enjoy! -- Don ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Subject: Haskell Job Opportunity Platform Architect at Peerium, Inc. Please mail resumes to: hr@peerium.com Location: Cambridge, MA (Greater Boston Area) http://www.peerium.com Type: Full-time Skills: Proficiency and a strong interest in Haskell programming :) Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent from a four-year institution. Job Description Platform architects work with the founders to design and implement components of the runtime and supporting libraries for our software platform. Company Description At Peerium, we're striving to bring a new level of quality and efficiency to online communication and collaboration within virtual communities, social networks, and business environments. We believe that a new environment that supports the effortless sharing of both information and software will enable a level of online cooperation far beyond current Web-based technologies -- modern programming techniques will enable the creation of more robust and more powerful programs within these environments. ----- To this end, we're building a new software platform for direct, real- time communication and collaboration within graphically rich environments. We're currently building our first publicly available software product using many in-house technologies, including a powerful new programming language. Our first software product brings together a broad range of technologies, including: * Concurrent, distributed, functional programming * Graphically-rich, OpenGL interfaces * Peer-to-peer network protocols * Cryptographically secure communication * Distributed computation * Ubiquitous online agents ----- Peerium is located in the heart of Harvard Square in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Skills: Proficiency and a strong interest in Haskell programming :)
Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent from a four-year institution.
This is the required background of Haskell-related job offering that I am looking for, except that I happen to be located in Tokyo, Japan. Does anybody know of any job offerings with this required background that are either located within commuting distance, or that allow telecommuting? Alternatively, equivalent Haskell-related offerings in other areas of Japan, in both academia and industry, could also prove to be alternatives. In particular, Haskell-related career paths that would lead from a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science to documenting Haskell libraries/tools and writing beginner-level Haskell textbooks would be of particular interest. -- Benjamin L.

Have you been to the Tokyo user group meetings? They're organised by Starling software, so perhaps a good place to network, http://www.starling-software.com/en/tsac.html -- Don

Yes, but they were only interested in having me do some writing projects on a "non-commercial" basis, and I had to work a little late last time and wasn't able to arrive until shortly before the meeting was over, so I wasn't able to "network" much. Thanks for the tip, though. There is also a Japanese-language Category Theory study group that I often attend (see http://www.sampou.org/cgi-bin/haskell.cgi?CategoryTheory%3A%B7%F7%CF%C0%CA%D...) (the link target is in Japanese). Please let me know if you find anything else. -- Benjamin L. Russell
