Ask HN: Where do you look for functional programming jobs?

3 points by tsingy 1y ago ↗ HN

Recently, I've been experimenting with functional programming, and I have to admit, it brings back the joy of programming. I would love to find a job doing it though but have no idea where to look for.

See the monthly Who is Hiring threads and search for functional, Haskell, OCaml, etc. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41425910 has a few hits.

Also, this exists: https://functional.works-hub.com/

Maybe I'm behind on the trends since I mostly just apply directly to companies, or through one of the major job sites (Indeed, LinkedIn, etc). I checked out those two websites and now I'm confused. You can't perform searches on grazily (try searching something, it doesn't do anything). Also it still lists jobs from over a year ago? The website seems like student's school project.

Grazily is just a weekly email with very targeted searches.

As someone who hires for this work, I'm extremely dubious about hiring someone who is actively looking for a functional programming job. I've been burned before by PhD-type people trying to implement some theoretical thing rather than getting any work done. In the Joel Spolsky nomenclature, smart but doesn't get stuff done.
