Supercede | Frontend Developer (Elm/Haskell) | REMOTE | Full Time Supercede (formerly Riskbook) builds industry-leading risk placement and analytics software for the reinsurance industry. We are currently a team of 17 people distributed across eight countries. About half of the team are developers, all of which spend most of their time writing Haskell, Elm, and Nix. We're all-in on functional programming, and we're looking for more help with our front-end code. It'll be your responsibility to write and maintain our Elm code (of which we currently have about 36,000 lines). You will also need to reproduce and write elegant fixes for CSS issues that our testers uncover. You'll have flexible working hours and you can work from anywhere, though this is a full-time position and the expectation is that of work based on a traditional 40 hour week, with 25 days of paid annual holiday in addition to your country's national holidays. 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, and we have a dedicated fortnightly "Research Day" where every programmer is free to not do chores for the product, and instead investigate/learn/play with whatever technology they choose. Want to learn more about type-level programming? Property-based testing? Expert systems? Go right ahead! Please write me a brief email introducing yourself with your résumé attached to jezen@supercede.com. While our focus is on finding a frontend developer currently, we are also interested in Haskell people to work on our Yesod/Servant backend, so feel free to introduce yourself if that sounds like you.
