Hi folks, I just posted this job advert on the Haskell Cafe mailing list --- and someone suggested I crosspost here, too. Please pardon me if this double posting is too spammy. I have recently started working for Citrix in Cambridge. We are working on the open source software in Ocaml. Admittedly Ocaml is only a second best compared to Haskell ;o) and I hope my post does not count as too off-topic here. But Ocaml is still a decent language. My experience was primarily with Haskell and I only started working with Ocaml in earnest at Citrix. (So I hope that showing a way to transplant Haskell skills to the real world --- via the roundabout route of Ocaml --- justifies my posting.) So --- if you are looking for a job in Cambridge that involves functional programming, free software [1] and free beer [2], please feel free to drop me a line. I have included our original advert to the Ocaml mailing list for those who want more information first. Cheers, Matthias. [1] As in free speech. LGPL [2] As in free beer. We also get other perks, like snacks and a pool table. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Dave Scott <Dave.Scott@eu.citrix.com> Date: 2010/1/18 Subject: [Caml-list] [jobs] Citrix Systems (Cambridge, UK) To: "caml-list@yquem.inria.fr" <caml-list@yquem.inria.fr>, "ocaml-jobs@inria.fr" <ocaml-jobs@inria.fr> Dear fellow OCaml users, Summary: We (Citrix Systems) are looking for OCaml programmers to join our team in Cambridge, UK. We use OCaml extensively in the "xapi tool-stack": the control-plane used in the Xen Cloud Platform[1] on which the widely used XenServer server virtualisation product[2] is based. XCP aims to provide a complete open-source cloud infrastructure platform with a powerful management stack based on standards-based APIs, support for multi-tenancy, SLA guarantees and detailed metrics for consumption based charging. We are looking to recruit top-class engineers to work on the tool-stack; applicants must have a good knowledge of data structures and algorithms, experience of programming in the context of large systems and general aesthetic good taste when it comes to code and architecture. Our code base is significant and varied: over 130,000 lines of OCaml, solving problems ranging from the low-level (Xen hypercalls) to the high-level (resource pool management), to the compiler-driven (generating language bindings for our Xen datamodel). Our ideal candidate will have: * significant experience of applications programming in high-level languages (such as OCaml :-) * an aptitude for implementing (and reasoning about) complex concurrent, distributed systems * the skills required to contribute to both the architectural design and day-to-day development of a large code-base * strong communication skills and problem solving ability * a determination to deliver great products that perform brilliantly and meet our customers' needs So if you want to tackle interesting and challenging programming problems and contribute to an innovative, fast-growing product that is already used by tens of thousands of customers across the world, please don't hesitate to send me your CV.
