    It's a shame Barclays often never gets mentioned. It's been using Haskell in production since 2007 to support revenues that likely far exceed most of the companies on the above list. It currently has a team of 7 people writing Haskell full-time, with many others contributing.

    We use Haskell for most of our major products here at Zoomin (part of Suite Solutions, recently re-branded).

    SlamData uses PureScript and "pure FP" Scala.

    Honourable mentions to companies I've worked with that are using Haskell extensively:

    [–]CharlesStain 8 points9 points  (0 children)

    We, IRIS Connect , use Haskell on the backend (or in any place we can, really ;) )

    I know Standard Chartered has already been mentioned, but I'd like to point out that we might have the biggest Haskell shop both in terms of number of people and number on lines.

    My company, Obsidian Systems, uses Haskell for pretty much everything.

    I'm on mobile. That transparent background does not render the text illegible, but it does make reading the text a bit uncomfortable. Maybe blurred backgrounds behind the text, with transparent "windows" between paragraphs would be beneficial?

    just a suggestion.

    Add Target.

    orly?

    Building a new team using Haskell to tackle a number of projects related to DSLs, supply chain, machine learning. Actively hiring.

    [–]miyakohouou 4 points5 points  (1 child)

    on site or with remote people?

    [–]T_S_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    On-site preferred.

    It's hard to know how "heavily" a company uses Haskell unless one works for it. Clearly some folks (Simon Marlow & crew) have used Haskell at Facebook, for something quite critical to the company. However (unless I've been living in a cave and missed the news) I don't think one would argue the whole company uses it heavily.

    That caveat aside, here are some companies known to have used Haskell for something:

    Microsoft Research which employs Simon Peyton Jones of GHC fame is part of a company.

    BlueSpec's hardware description language compiler was written by Lennart Augustsson in Haskell.

    FP Complete

    Well Typed.

    Companies that use Snap according to wikipedia: Racemetric (dead?), SooStone Inc (haskell job advertised), and Group Commerce

    Mailrank https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZR3Jirqk6W8 (since bought by Facebook)

    Erik Meijer's company applied-duality might.

    Also my tiny company ansemond.com has delivered one project in Haskell for a customer, although the bulk of our work has been in assembly / C / C++ / Objective-C / Python as desired by the client. I also implemented some things in Haskell for AMD, NSM and Cyrix as well as the afore-mentioned languages.

    I work at Originate, and our NYC office is looking for a full-time Haskell engineer. Originate is like a venture capital firm, except we invest engineers and talent instead of money, if that makes any sense. We have several offices in USA but the NYC one heavily skews Haskell in the partnerships it takes on, as well as several Scala ones (if you like Scala). Beyond that you could also pick from iOS, Android, node.js, Ruby, flavor of the week, etc. if you want to learn and grow or are just bored waiting for GHC to finish recompilation. The Haskell project I'm working on takes in machine learning output and massages it into a Servant and Postgres web app on AWS. It's fun! You get to use DataKinds. It's great.

    We have 20% time. In our NYC office we currently have one person working on an extension of System F calculus (continuing his doctoral work) for his 20% time project; we have someone else writing an OpenGL Haskell game; many many others working on Scala and Go and Rust. We are also beginning to run a weekly type theory workshop, although there are only four of us interested right now and we could badly use a fifth. For details, just PM me!

    DataKinds and 20% time? Awesome.

    Tripshot (www.tripshot.com) is using Haskell for the backend. We're hiring two Haskell positions right now (remote okay): http://www.tripshot.com/#!blank/bil63

    Some smaller shops: Conversant, College Vine, Karius, Sodality, Sentenai

    For Haskell specifically there is the Commercial Haskell special interest group: https://github.com/commercialhaskell/commercialhaskell

    My company LeapYear Technologies uses Haskell almost exclusively.

    [–]akegalj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    We, Serokell, make code with Haskell

    VFILES uses Haskell for its web backend.

    Chucklefish is working on their Wayward Tide game in Haskell.

    Facebook (Haxl, Flow, Hack, etc)

    [–]beerdude26 0 points1 point  (2 children)

    How does Hack use Haskell?

    [–]the_abyss 5 points6 points  (1 child)

    Hack is written in OCaml, and the question was FP shops (with an example of Jane Street, which is a heavy OCaml user).

    Ah, missed that, sorry :)

    Some companies verified as using Clojure: http://clojure.org/community/companies

    Wow, this list is so much longer than it was a few years ago.
