Original posting

William Hill US | Functional Programmer | Jersey City, NJ, USA | ONSITE | Full Time The thing that distinguishes our team (and the reason I chose to work here) is that our CIO is a functional programming evangelist who understands that you can't just hire a team of FP enthusiasts - rather, you hire great engineers interested in being challenged and train them to become FP enthusiasts. We have a formal training program ("Scala U") that will show you basic scala syntax but its real purpose is to train people in how to become functional programmers with a combination of mentorship, pairing, classroom, exercises, and books. He's easy to talk to and super-enthusiastic, and I personally have learned a lot from him. Here is the job description: https://www.williamhill.com/us/careers/?gh_jid=4465782002 We also have openings in devops, front end, and iOS, and other technical and non-technical roles.
