Functional Back End Engineer

**Hello**

We are looking for a **Functional Software Engineer** to join our team at Tweag.

**About You**

You are a tinkerer, who enjoys investigating and solving difficult problems. You approach challenges patiently and pragmatically, with a natural ability to generalize and repurpose what you learn.

You are a communicator, empathetic in understanding your client's needs and showing care in their individual concerns. You are assertive and precise, able to convey a cohesive narrative of your work and progress both verbally and in writing.

You are an effective consultant: confident, yet considerate. You are able to use open source ideals to execute practical, technical goals and confidently push forward new and principled approaches and solutions. You strike the balance between your own way of thinking and the client's background and needs.

**If you**
- Have experience with Haskell. You have written Haskell in your free time or professionally. You know about the advanced features of the language and can navigate a large codebase that uses them.
- Optionally, you have experience with at least one non-Haskell functional programming language (Scala, OCaml, Erlang, Clojure, etc.).
- Optionally, you have experience with an imperative programming language (Java, Python, C++)
- You are comfortable working on the core (consensus, ledger, APIs, testing, etc.) of a blockchain project: no dapp, no NFT.
- Have excellent coding skills with a high bar for quality and understandability.
- Are able to work autonomously and comfortable contributing to defining objectives and milestones,
- Nurture a learning mindset, regardless of level or experience, and desire to delve deeper in the face of setbacks,
- Have an interest in - and some experience of - open source community contributions
- A desire to regularly communicate new learnings.
- An empathetic, humble, and client-focused ethos.
- Strong organizational and task management skills.
- Excellent communication skills, especially written. We are a distributed team so we're extra mindful about communication.

This may be the role for you

**Core Responsibilities**
- Work together with client teams on their code-base, which include (but are not limited to) distributed systems, web services, financial systems
- Work on improving our many research and community projects
- Any combination of the previous two bullets, either simultaneously or in sequence.
- Participate in public communication via writing blog posts and communicating with colleagues and the Functional programming community
