* Write high-quality code, working with cutting-edge research and technology to implement features like protocol rules and transaction validation
* Work with teams across multiple time zones in Europe and America
* Be proactive, work independently and require minimal supervision or mentoring to complete tasks
* Collaborate with other teams on integration issues and problems that span a greater context
* Review specifications produced by formal methods specialists
* Commit often and submit small pull requests frequently
* Cover your code with unit, property and integration tests
* Review the pull requests of your team mates
* Fix bugs in your own code and in legacy code from others
* Be available for emergency fixing of severity 1 issues on deployed products
* Integrate software components and third-party libraries
* Write clear documentation with sensible examples

* A minimum of 5 years development experience (professional or otherwise) in Haskell
* Strong experience at writing code in the declarative programming paradigm
* Experience working with Git and Github
* Experience with nix is preferred, but not required
* Proficiency with advanced FP techniques such as:
* Type families, Higher Kinded Data, Dependent types, Generic programming, Type-level programming, Free monads
* Good understanding of evaluation strategies and related concepts: call-by-need, lazy evaluation, memoization, weak-head normal form vs normal form. Capable of identifying and avoiding space leaks
* Experience with serialization techniques in Haskell using any of the common libraries: cborg, serialise, store, flat, binary, etc
* Advanced level understanding of pure functional data structures and Haskell libraries that provide such functionality: containers, vector, bytestring, etc

* Skilled at writing QuickCheck/Hedgehog generators and property tests
* Familiarity with common testing frameworks like HSpec or Tasty
* Capable of analyzing performance using common tooling like profiling and writing benchmarks
* Experience with low level programming, such as dealing with foreign function interfaces and using primitive operations in Haskell is a plus, but not required
* Write idiomatic Haskell code that satisfies the acceptance criteria of a given task
* Write tests (unit tests, property tests) that provide sufficient and non-superfluous efficient code coverage
* Document code and APIs concisely and unambiguously
* Break down tasks into subtasks that are completable in a short amount of time and report completion as required by managers
* Pragmatically adhere to software engineering principles (modularity, incremental development, no premature optimization, no feature creep, no speculative generality, no code duplication ...)
Benefits
* Remote work
* Laptop reimbursement
* New starter package to buy hardware essentials (headphones, monitor, etc)
