Standard Chartered bank is hiring senior Haskell developers for the front office Modelling and Analytics Group. We have dozens of developers working in very diverse financial market projects within corporate and institutional banking. Some of our projects are user-facing GUIs, others are server-side request handlers or reporting tools. Their scope ranges from small applications to support a single team, to processes that handle millions of trades, or have thousands of users. We use Haskell (or our in-house variant, Mu) for practically everything we do.

We expect solid computer science knowledge and demonstrated typed functional programming experience at all levels, but you will also be responsible for architecture design, stakeholder communication, project management, and project and/or team leadership. We use git for source control and the Atlassian suite (Bitbucket, Confluence, Jira) for code reviews, documentation and project tracking. No finance knowledge is required, but excellent communication and collaboration skills are essential. We believe our unique diversity is a key aspect of our success and strive to maintain an open and inclusive culture to everyone.

After an initial three-month period in-office, this role can be performed flexibly in time and location, but only from the country of payroll.
