I've only worked at (several) places not on that list, but I will say that despite everyone's snide remarks here about how nobody uses Haskell..I have been able to immediately get multiple Haskell interviews whenever I've wanted. Ping some recruiters & former coworkers on LinkedIn and it's done. Niche languages have their advantages. And despite "there only being dozens of us," there's plenty of money in Haskell out there to make a good living (no passion paycuts). Gotta know Haskell first tho ;)


We have an entire team dedicated to training up new engineers at Mercury! No Haskell knowledge required.


What about reforming existing engineers? Especially ones that have gone down the operations path for several years and want to get back to contributing with code?

Edit: I was asking kind of flippantly, but actually upon reading your team and product seems quite interesting. Would you be up for a chat?


Would you welcome/help in relocating from Europe?
