Fancy applying your functional skills in the world-changing decentralization industry?
Please consider joining the team at DFINITY building the “Internet Computer”.
Check out some sample functional maestros on the team:-
Andreas Rossberg
Previously a Google Staff Engineer, Andreas is co-creator of WebAssembly, and maintains the reference specification in OCaml. WebAssembly is a fast evolving open virtual machine standard that is already supported by all the major Web browsers and will be run by backend processes on the Internet Computer. In earlier lives, Andreas lead the V8 language team and was a researcher in programming language semantics, type systems, module systems and functional programming. Coding WebAssembly systems is the next big thing!
Location: Germany
Paul Liu
Previously an Intel Staff Engineer, Paul is a functional programming specialist who was previously responsible for Intel Labs’ Haskell compiler, which unlocked new levels of performance for software running on advanced multi-core chipsets such as the Xeon Phi. Paul has deep software development experience and currently works on the DFINITY client. He has a PhD from Yale where his advisor was Paul Hudak (one of the inventors of Haskell).
Location: California
Ben Lynn
Previously a senior engineer at Google, Ben has numerous claims to fame. These include being the “L” from the groundbreaking BLS cryptography scheme applied by a DFINITY protocol to rapidly bring massive networks to consensus. Ben currently works on the DFINITY client, his own implementation of a WebAssembly virtual machine written in Haskell, and various new languages and compilers for WebAssembly also written in Haskell. Generally speaking, he likes making cool stuff.
Location: California
Maciej Wos Maciej is a programming language enthusiast with a background in compilers, cloud computing, and financial software. He studied Computer Science at Oxford University and Cambridge University and joined DFINITY after three years at Fugue where he helped build Ludwig, a modular, compiled language for infrastructure as code.
Location: Japan
This is just a small sample of people in our fast-growing functional engineering team, which we are seeking to double in size. You will be working for the DFINITY Foundation, which has accumulated enormous funding to pursue one of the most ambitious technology projects of modern times.
Our functional code provides reference implementations for sophisticated distributed protocols, virtual machines, compilers, cryptography and other interesting things.
The main requirement is that you are an awesome senior engineer and care about this field. We encourage applications from people with unusual backgrounds (autodidacts, hackers, and all comers). We provide brilliant salaries, benefits and incentive packages.
