Hi everyone! New member here! Anyone know of Haskell jobs in Montreal for new grads? Thanks!

I'm in MTL myself, and I'm working with Haskell for past 6 years; the best I've found among general jobs in functional programming is Scala (and perhaps Kotlin) - but those are all OOP jobs where people adopt languages with fp features purely for 'cleaner syntax'. If you're looking for strict division between runtime and compile time knowledge, type safety - you're out of luck. The best I've found is a practice obsessed with unit testing. Morgan-Stanley do their own internal version of Haskell, and they're strongly oriented towards performance and correctness, and the people that interviewed me seemed quite experienced and smart - I had really awesome interview experience with Morgan-Stanley, even in comparison to Google. I've failed both interviews, tho :-D In any case, there are job postings here sometimes, and often companies are willing to consider remote work, given that haskell jobs and haskell professionals are scarcely distributed all around the world. That lambda meeting mentioned, I was looking into that myself, but afaik - it hasn't happened in a long, long time. Salut! -- "That gum you like is going to come back in style."
Thanks, John, for your response! Personally I'm looking for a culture with
some interesting mathematical background, more than any particular language
feature.
Would you be able to tell me some more about what goes on at Morgan Stanley?
Thanks

I figured ;-) That's what I'm looking for too, but its really, REALLY hard to find a company that's trying to do something different.
Would you be able to tell me some more about what goes on at Morgan Stanley?
They have state of the art trading engine/service. I am not sure how far do they go with formal methods, when it comes to the design, but they are very mindful of roperties of control and data structures they use to model it. At the very least, that's the impression I've got during the interview: they asked me to develop a small statistical algorithm, and then asked to optimize it to hit at least O(log n). They're also constantly looking for C++ and Java programmers, so you could apply there, get employed, and then work to switch to their Haskell team. -- "That gum you like is going to come back in style."
What about directly to their Haskell team??
