DescriptionPosition Title: Senior Software Engineer (Haskell/Functional Programming)
Reporting to: Engineering Manager
Location: Chapel Hill, NC; Newton, MA; New York, NY. Remote candidates considered.
Compensation:
Senior Software Engineer ($160,000-$180,000) depending upon qualifications, plus bonus and benefitsPosition Summary:
Upon joining our team, you'll help lead the development of a world-class technology platform at the heart of our engagement and behavior change platform. You'll get to work with a diverse group of fellow Haskellers, backend and mobile developers, data scientists and product managers to design, implement and govern product features that reach the hands of hundreds of thousands of users. We expect you will deliver solutions that are holistically correct, flexible for future changes, efficient, secure and all-around maintainable. Haskell usually makes this a little easier and we're big fans. Ownership, self-motivation, teamwork, and experience working in a fast-paced agile environment are highly desired.
Key Responsibilities:
- Own substantial workstreams, including both new user-facing features and improvements on our existing services ecosystem.
- Break down problems into a cogent execution plan and then deliver on that plan with high quality maintainable code
- Collaborate with a team of fellow Haskellers, mobile, backend and data science practitioners to create and deliver a seamless, tailored experience for our users
- Contribute substantially to platform architectural decisions and enhance our team's ability to make correct decisions that stand the test of time
- Help build and maintain internal administrative applications that support core functioning of our technology platform
- Help us achieve operational excellence in software development by participating in and leading code reviews, quality assurance, and production monitoring
- Take personal responsibility for achieving and maintaining Engineering momentum in a Healthcare environment that prioritizes security, privacy and compliance with HIPAA guidelines as well as a variety of best practices
Requirements- Expertise in the principled delivery of production software using functional programming concepts (such as immutability and advanced type systems)
- Proven knowledge of Haskell in particular (though not necessarily in production)
- Broad understanding of multiple programming languages and paradigms to ensure effective collaboration across our diverse mobile, backend, and data science teams
- Enthusiastic about leveraging LLMs to accelerate development, while maintaining uncompromising standards for delivering succinct, maintainable, slop-free code
- Driven to explore and adopt new patterns, languages, and methodologies, actively contributing to our evolving engineering culture rather than relying on the status quo
- Experience in building systems that are data-driven and interact with a variety of external sources, including databases and their tradeoffs, streaming solutions and APIs
- Good understanding of both microservices and monolith patterns with insight into the choices and tradeoffs involved
- Experience with modern cloud platforms; AWS, GCP, Azure
- Experience in Healthcare contexts
- Good understanding of security principles in software development broadly and as specifically applied to consumer-facing applications
- Degree and background in a related field such as Computer Science, Engineering or a quantitative discipline with strong demonstrated practical experience
