Haskell Engineer

We’re a team of functional programmers writing apps and services in Haskell (and Javascript). Yes, it’s true: Haskell is our main backend language. We also use functional programming practices across our stack.

Wagon is a great place to do your best work. We love to teach and learn functional programming; our team is humble, hard working, and fun. We speak at the Bay Area Haskell Meetup, contribute to open source, and have weekly lunches with interesting people from the community.

Work on challenging engineering problems at Wagon. How to integrate Haskell with modern client- and server-side technologies, like Electron and Docker? How to deploy and manage distributed systems built with Haskell? Which pieces of our infrastructure should we open-source?

Learn more about our stack, how we combine Haskell, React, and Electron, and what it’s like working at a Haskell-powered startup.

Background

• love of functional programming
• personal project or production experience using Haskell, OCaml, Clojure, or Scala
• passionate (but practical) about software architecture
• interested in data processing, scaling, and performance challenges
• experience with databases (optional)

Role

• write Haskell for client- and server-side applications
• integrate Haskell with modern tools like Docker, AWS, and Electron
• architect Wagon to work with analytic databases like Redshift, BigQuery, Spark, etc
• build systems and abstractions for streaming data processing and numeric computing
• work with libraries like Conduit, Warp, and Aeson
• use testing frameworks like QuickCheck and HSpec
• develop deployment and monitoring tools for distributed Haskell systems
