- Have experience with Haskell. You have written Haskell in your free time or professionally. You know about the advanced features of the language and can navigate a large codebase that uses them
- Have experience leading teams on the delivery of complex projects. You should be comfortable developing from ideas to a fully featured product, and guiding other engineers in doing so
- You are comfortable working on the core (consensus, ledger, APIs, testing, etc.) of a blockchain project: no dapp, no NFT

- Skilled in managing development pipelines, test automation, continuous integration, and cloud-based deployments
- Knowledgeable in software architecture, design patterns, and development methodologies
- Ability to distinguish between accidental and essential complexity
- Experience working in teams on large codebases or completing independently-driven projects
- Reliable high-speed internet is a must!
Desirable
- Passionate about Nix (or similar systems such as Guix). Likely a contributor to nixpkgs, or hosting private flakes or overlays
- Interest in declarative, reproducible builds, with experience in systems like Bazel, Buck2, or Meson
- Participate in public communication via writing blog posts and communicating with colleagues and the Functional programming community
- Optionally, you have experience with at least one non-Haskell functional programming language (Scala, OCaml, Erlang, Clojure, etc.)
What the job involves
- We are looking for a Functional Engineering Manager (Haskell, Nix) to lead cross-functional teams and provide strategic consulting, full lifecycle product development
- Leading, mentoring, and coaching both clients and Modus teammates from the comfort of home
- Deep diving into customer needs and translating them into actionable requirements
- Exploring new tech and continuously learning because software is always evolving!
- Sharing your knowledge and participating actively in the community
- Overlap with some CET hours daily is expected
