Haskell Developer (AU & NZ)

IN A NUTSHELL

Bellroy isn’t a software company that happens to make physical products. We’re a product company, and our software exists to give us a real competitive edge. That distinction matters. It means we care about quality and craft, not just delivery speed. We build systems that solve real-world problems for our customers, our team, and our operations, and we do it with care.

We're extending the capabilities of our bespoke e-commerce platform, integrating with digital marketplaces around the world and supporting the release of exciting new carry goods. As we scale, we're looking for a developer who’s genuinely at home in functional programming – whether your background is in Haskell, Clojure, Elixir, F#, Scala, OCaml, Erlang, or similar – to help us build an elegant platform to support our growth.

We care less about which functional language you’ve used, and more about whether you think in maps, folds and algebraic data types; about types and composition; about building systems that are correct, observable and evolve gracefully. While we love pure functional programming as much as the next lambda enthusiast, we're pragmatic enough to know that sometimes a clever hack beats a perfect abstraction. The key is knowing the difference.

Your growth matters to us. Beyond our learning budget, you'll find yourself immersed in a culture of continuous learning through our hack days, company-wide learning events, and our weekly Technology Team book clubs and mob programming sessions. We've explored everything from UX classics like Don't Make Me Think to engineering fundamentals like The Pragmatic Programmer .

Bring us your problem-solving prowess and quick thinking. In return, we offer a culture where intellectual honesty isn't just encouraged, it's expected. Where autonomy isn't just promised - it's built into our workflow. Where you'll have the tools you need to turn great ideas into reality.

YOU COULD BE THE ONE IF YOU...

• Have spent 2+ years writing production code in a functional language (for example Haskell, Clojure, Elixir, F#, Scala (Scalaz or equivalent), OCaml, Erlang, or a strongly‑functional style in Rust, Kotlin or Swift)
• Take pride in crafting code that's thoughtfully designed and built to last
• Are more interested in mastering your craft than climbing the management ladder (though we're open to that changing as you grow with us)
• Thrive in a cross-functional environment, collaborating with experts across product design, data science, logistics, and beyond
• See your work as more than a paycheck - you're driven by the challenge of creating exceptional solutions
• Have an insatiable curiosity for new ideas, whether they come from technical blogs or philosophy podcasts
• Want to be part of a company that's using business as a force for good

WE'D BE EXTRA THRILLED IF YOU...

• Have tamed Nix and lived to tell the tale
• Know your way around the AWS ecosystem
• Can navigate Ruby on Rails codebases (we have a slowly shrinking, legacy Rails ecosystem that interfaces with our Haskell services)

IF YOU WERE HERE LAST WEEK, YOU WOULD HAVE…

• Tidied up loose ends from the project you just finished with another member of the team, and taken some time to make some of the code you wrote more elegant and maintainable
• Joined the whole team in a retrospective, and helped create a shortlist of continuous improvement tasks for us to prioritise
• Taken part in our bi-monthly Hack Day event, and spent a day working on something that inspires you or fixing something that annoys you
• Attended our weekly Functional Programming meet to discuss some new Haskell packages and conventions we’re thinking about using
• Spend time improving your skills, tooling and workflows during our weekly “cooldown” days
