Supercede | Haskell Programmer | ONSITE/HYBRID in London, UK | Full-Time
Supercede builds industry-leading risk placement and analytics software for the reinsurance industry. We favour asynchronous communication, and try to hire "managers of one". We don't do daily stand-ups. We don't count your hours. We don't work weekends. We support each other in working and learning. We prefer responsibility and autonomy, and eschew micromanagement.
## About the tech
Our core product is a monolithic web application written in ~180,000 lines of Haskell, predominantly with the Yesod framework.
In short: Haskell, Yesod, Nix, PostgreSQL, Redis, Hspec/QuickCheck/Hedgehog, Persistent/Esqueleto, HTML/CSS/JavaScript.
## About you
For this particular role, we are looking for someone based in London, who can come and work with us regularly in our lovely office at the top end of London Bridge (hybrid working is supported).
Technical proficiency aside, we need you to be self-motivated and be able to manage your own time. We get stuff done at a sustainable pace.
As most communication is asynchronous, you'll need to be an excellent communicator. This mostly means you need to think and write clearly, whether that's in code, or in English. We expect you to describe your approach to a given problem in writing before diving into an implementation, and you'll need to collaborate with colleagues on your design.
You'll need to be a good engineer. We aren't looking for cathedral architects or type-system astronauts. We need small, simple, robust design. It's always better if you can make our project smaller, faster to compile, and easier to maintain so more junior colleagues remain effective.
On this team we are kind. We're kind to each other socially, and we're kind when reviewing and collaborating on work. We're diverse and multicultural, and respectful of each other's background. You'll need to be kind.
If you're interested in working with us, please write to me at Email is hidden.
