Requirements
We don't expect you to have a background in functional programming, OCaml, Python, finance, or any other specific field-we're looking for smart programmers who enjoy solving interesting problems. We're more interested in how you think and learn than what you currently know. You should be:
- A top-notch programmer with a love for technology
- Intellectually curious, collaborative, and eager to learn
- Humble and unafraid to ask questions and admit mistakes
- Fluent in English
About the company
Beyond our own environment, we also recognize the value of open source software, leveraging it in our daily work and releasing over a million lines of our own code as open source. We're also always looking for ways to expand open source projects, and provide ongoing support to things like Mercurial, the OCaml compiler, and the OPAM package manager. That said, we're interested in talented engineers with experience in any language-most of us came in with little to no practical experience in OCaml before we joined.
