Three questions about the role:

May developers work in suitably private conditions, or is it an open-plan / trading-floor environment?

Will these roles involve working with a non-standard Haskell compiler?

What level of Haskell experience are you looking for ... what are some milestone Haskell skills that could help someone quickly identify whether they are plausibly a good fit?

>Will these roles involve working with a non-standard Haskell compiler?

They have a pretty well known internal compiler for a strict dialect of Haskell.

>What level of Haskell experience are you looking for ... what are some milestone Haskell skills that could help someone quickly identify whether they are plausibly a good fit?

They're unlikely to answer this and I don't work there, but you should probably be able to reason about things like GHC's RTS as a baseline.

It's an open plan trading floor.

It involves working with Mu, Standard Chartered's in-house compiler. Working with Mu feels very, very similar to just using GHC Haskell though.

I can't give any specific details about milestone skills, but if you've published libraries to Hackage that are used by people you've never heard of that's probably a good sign that it's worth applying.

Don, any "similar" openings for C++ engineers? and/i.e. if there is a way to apply by directly contacting someone in a similar position like you but for "C++ team". To avoid std HR hole...
