Ever heard of something called... LINUX!?

The problem with the French is that they don't have a word for entrepreneur:

MLstate - currently in stealth mode - is an IT company, whose functional programming approach to SaaS and cloud computing has been recently recognized by the French Ministry of Research Innovation Award and support from leading investors.

We are research-oriented, we value technical excellence and innovation and we believe our technology has a potential to dramatically change the way web applications are being built.

MLstate opens several new permanent positions to meet this challenge:

    * Senior Developers: Outstanding PhDs with at least 3 years of research experience in functional languages and/or formal verification and the ability to manage a small technical team.
    * Developers: PhDs with strong FP skills. Applications from PhD students defending their thesis soon are also welcome.
