On October 16-18, we participated in NixCon 2020. Here's the details of our participation.

Serokell at NixCon 2020

On October 16-18, we participated in NixCon 2020. 

NixCon is an annual conference for contributors and users of [Nix](https://serokell.io/blog/what-is-nix) and NixOS. 

It’s an event we keep participating in every year, [including the previous one](https://serokell.io/blog/serokell-nixcon2019). This year, due to the COVID crisis, it was done remotely. 

One of our employees, Alexander Bantyev, participated with a talk on Nix flakes in production, a thing we have been working for some time now. 

If you’re interested, here’s the talk. You can also see all the other talks of the event on their YouTube channel.

Serokell Sponsors Bioinformatics Contest 2021

Bioinformatics Contest 2021 is a programming competition where people from all around the world compete by solving bioinformatics problems. This year, we are proud to be one of their sponsors.

[Bioinformatics Contest](https://bioinf.me/en/contest) is a programming competition where participants use their programming & data analysis skills and their knowledge in genomics & molecular biology to solve bioinformatics problems. 



It’s organized by a host of collaborators such as [Bioinformatics Institute](https://bioinf.me/en), [ITMO University](https://en.itmo.ru/en/), and others. 

This year, we are proud to be among the sponsors of this contest together with companies like Yandex and JetBrains. 

Our mission is to promote the field of biotech and the use of functional programming to create reliable biotech solutions, and supporting great bioinformatics initiatives like Bioinformatics Contest is one of the best ways we can accomplish that.

We Are Hiring a Haskell Software Engineer

We're hiring Haskell developers for our new remote workspace project!

Become a part of an international, fully remote community! Serokell has started with Haskell and now provides services in scientific research and engineering fields using functional programming languages. We’re seeking Haskell developers to work on our new remote workspace project, [Ment](https://ment.hr/).

While working on the project your primary responsibility will be to develop integrations with external services/applications like JIRA and Telegram. You will maintain a zoo of microservice daemons for reliable synchronization of data from external services to our application. There will be a great deal of writing Haskell and even more of architectural decision making to ensure data synchronization is performed optimally.
 
## Requirements

More or less required:
* Solid knowledge of Haskell 98 features: typeclasses, аpplicative functors, monad transformers.
* Familiarity with the modern Haskell ecosystem. You should be able to use `text`, `mtl`, basic lenses, Stack/Cabal, type families, template haskell (use existing TH generators, not write your own), `QuickCheck`/`Hedgehog`. (If one of these items is missing, it's not critical).
* Knowledge of the fundamental algorithms and data structures like binary search tree, DFS, hashtable, quicksort, etc.
* Knowledge of computer networks: HTTP,  understanding of poll- and push- based data synchronization models and their usage in modern service APIs.
* Good coding culture (code structuring and decoupling, patch management with git, code review practices).
* Good level of self-organization.

Good-to-have, but not crucial:
* Cryptography: very basic knowledge, public/private keys, signing, encryption, hashing.
* Parsers: writing own parsers, using parser combinators and/or parser generators.
* Haskell: experience with popular libraries for real-world problems (web servers, streaming like `conduit`, serialization, databases,etc.).
* Haskell: advanced type-level features: `GADTs`, `DataKinds`.
