Haskellish/Pythonic/C++ Job offer

18 points by wagnerius ↗ HN
The theory is that asking for a HN is a good filter for a good coder. ( This offer will likely go on reddit, my apologies if you see it more than once. )

I am looking for a haskellish/pythonic HN reader for a senior dev/Technical director. I need someone able to model and code well (No architect who never codes). The ability to communicate well with a team is also a big plus. You don't need to speak french (we are in France) but a reasonnably good english is mandatory.

If You :

* like coding 4+ hours straight.

* like to solve a coding problem elegantly (and are bothered if can't)

* like and read real CS books (SICP, TAOCP, CTM etc...)

* code in haskell, python and c++.

* are a gamer (this one is optionnal)

* are interested in computer graphics (optionnal too)

You fit the bill. I would like to talk to you. contact me ("contact at gamr7 dot com").

What we offer:

* interesting problems and creative freedom

* quality of life (no overtime, sunny countryside, french food and low rent)

* a pay in Euros

* confortable workplace, etc...

* coding in haskell, python.

Note : I looked at the etiquette doc. It says nothing about posting job offers. I really thinks that this one fits well within the HN community, it fits the "could interest a hacker" criteria. I didn't find any way to directly post in the jobs section.

Edit: added email contact .

I'm wondering how someone who might be interested could get in touch with you . . .
You can contact me at "contact at gamr7 dot com"
Hmmm...

4+ sure, but more then 6hrs. in a day and I start introducing bugs and end up with negative productivity.

Yep on #2 and #3

Yep on C++ and Python, I still have not gotten to haskell, but I really do want to because I used to write specs in predicate calculus.

Doom was my game, Q3 blew my mind, but I have not gamed in years.

I am indeed interested in computer graphics, and I've done a bit of OpenGL for bioinformatics.

What you offer sounds interesting, but where the heck are you located?

We are located in France, at Roanne, 1h from Lyon.

( The 4+ is basically a filter on non-coders. I completely agree with you about overtime. )

Well poop! If I wasn't neck deep in the middle of a project I don't want to quit, I'd apply.

I'll remember to check if you guys are still hiring 6 months to a year from now.

What is the product you create?
A tool/middleware to generate cities for games or simulation. The site (http://www.gamr7.com) has more info. Don't hesitate to ask if something is not clear tho.
Wow the homepage looks great, very cool stuff. This is something that is really needed too.

I am very skilled in Python, have toyed around a lot with Haskell but not really written anything significant. Probably only written about 200 lines of C++ in my life... Is that ok or you demand strong knowledge in all three?

How much Haskell do you use anyway(just out of curiousity) and for what?

Do you do raycasting?
