* Business logic and APIs for our core decision engine
* Functional-reactive applications
* Domain-specific languages and compilers
* Parsing laws from heterogeneous sources
* Collaborating with our Knowledge Engineering team to research and design new product lines.
What we're looking for:
* A high degree of curiosity with the ability to ask thoughtful questions and solve challenging problems
* The capacity to envision a variety of solutions and to clearly articulate them and explain the trade-offs
* The ability to use functional programming to design simple and elegant solutions
* A collaborative mind-set that enjoys working with others and knowledge sharing to achieve the best results
* An eagerness to give and receive feedback in an open team atmosphere to better the overall result
* Practical experience with a functional language such as Clojure, Scheme, Common Lisp or Haskell
Any of the following would be an added benefit:
* Experience using a RDBMS such as Postgres
