James Wood, Senior Consultant of The Kaizen Partnership, has posted the following message on fa.haskell about a Haskell career opportunity, so I am forwarding it to here for your information: On Thu, 5 Mar 2009 07:00:57 -0800 (PST), in fa.haskell James Wood <wood82@gmail.com> wrote:
Dear All
I am a headhunter with a focus on tech developers predominantly in the finance sector. Part of my focus is functional programmers especially in Haskell, OCaml, F#. I am not sure if I am allowed to post this here but I figured it might be relevant to some of you and so took a chance.
I'm currently working on a role for an Investment Bank which has emerged unscathed from the economic turmoil and is actively looking for highly advanced Haskell programmers. Ideally candidates will have a MSc or PhD in Computer Science or Mathematics and will be very comfortable programming in Haskell. The team is part of the front- office quant analytics group and is using functional programming in novel ways to solve some interesting problems both in both technology and risk modelling. They are looking to add several more key hires over the year. Finance experience is not necessary but can be advantageous. Location can be flexible.
There are only a few banks who have seriously invested in functional programming and actually incorporate it as part of their infrastructure. If anyone is interested in discussing this with me feel free to give me a ring or email my work email, jwood@kaizenpartnership.co.uk
Thanks
James
