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

3 points| tsingy | 1 year ago

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.

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.

grazily and remotejobsly

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.
