Matanuska Telecom Association | Software Engineer - Systems Engineer | Full-Time | Alaska (UTC-9): REMOTE

MTA is an Alaskan ISP serving the southwest area of the state. The software team consists of 7 devs who support a relatively complex business enterprise environment. We're looking to add another Software Engineer and a dedicated Systems Engineer (DevOps) to our team.

As the hiring manager I want to be clear about a few things:

- This is a 70 year old enterprise telecom, not a high speed startup

- This job may interest you if you want great benefits and long-term job stability

- We have an existing environment running onsite on VMWare; the Systems role is designed to support, improve, and make adjustments to our tech stack over time

- Our core backend language is F# these days (replacing Haskell after 5+ years in production), frontend is React

It's great to see F# getting some real-world use.

70 year old enterprise telecom, but in F#?

You guys have any blog posts detailing this transition?

This company is an ISP, was a telephone company once upon a time, and has a lot of underlying business systems that it takes to run it. My team writes the vendor integrations and custom software you can't buy off a shelf unique to this particular company.

A good chunk of our world is Microsoft .NET, so we have legacy C# applications lying around. Several years ago we wrote some new systems in Haskell and really enjoyed the FP experience but not the ecosystem. F# moves us closer to the business world while maintaining the FP experience we enjoy.

Is U.S citizenship required for this position?

>>pretty+Al9
Authorization to work in the U.S. is required, but not citizenship. We can only offer remote to people located in the U.S.

That's too bad, I would have loved to apply. Modesty aside, I think I would be a great fit for the position, since I currently do a similar job (similar tasks and stack) and I am looking to move to another job. But I am not based on the U.S.

>>bojo+(OP)
Are you still taking applications for the Software Engineer role? I see the req is still open
