Really? IOHK are almost always hiring - apply there. They’ll know the people hiring if they’re that familiar surely?

- munchler 2y agoIs that a blockchain company? Every potential employer that has ever mentioned Haskell to me seems to be one.
- CuriousCosmic 2y agoIt is. They are one of the main developers for Cardano (I linked some of their stuff in another comment talking about examples of commercial open source haskell because I keep up with the project). I'm actually interested in what other projects in the cryptocurrency space use haskell? I thought Cardano was the only project that did. Most everyone else seems to use Rust or some mishmash of web oriented languages.
- munchler 2y agoI went back to check my email and it turns out that I received several Haskell enquiries from the same recruiter over a period of a few years. He only ever described the employer as a “Global Blockchain Fin-Tech Firm” without being more specific. It seemed pretty fishy to me.
- CuriousCosmic 2y agoYeahhhh that sounds about right for a shitty recruiter.
- zEddSH 2y agoIt was probably IOHK, or maybe Algorand.
- zEddSH 2y agoYes, but it’s got some cool Haskell projects (like a new language). Also, it has some big Haskell names there. When I worked there I debugged a compiler performance issue with one of the original creators, and there’s people like Lamport or Wolfram or Cerf brought in for talks. It’s not building products but the core platform.
