Wow, you guys sound awesome. What do you do on backend that makes you want Haskell/Scala expertise? Ever heard of Nix?
If I weren't currently quite occupied...
CircleCI: designers, frontend, backendend engineers.
At CircleCI (https://circleci.com), we're building Heroku for Continuous Integration. We have traction and revenue. Our customers love us, because we move quickly and provide amazing support. All employees talk to customers and are on support rotation.
We're written in Clojure. We eat our own dogfood, DevOps, A/B test, do Continuous Deployment and Customer Development.
The frontend is a fat javascript client, using HamlCoffee, Less and Knockout.
Backend engineers should know Clojure or another 'weird' language (Haskell, Scala, Scheme, etc), and Linux Devops (C compilation model, make, packaging).
We're looking for: designers that can write HTML & CSS, Frontend Engineers and Backend Engineers.
We're still a small team (we just hired employee #1 off a HN who's hiring thread), so you'll have a large impact on company culture. We're highly influenced by Valve's Employee handbook.
