# Careers

We have created a new [Haskell Foundation Careers page](https://haskell.foundation/careers/), listing both open positions for the HF itself, as well as a list of HF Sponsors who are actively hiring.

We are [hiring a DevOps professional](https://haskell.foundation/careers/devops.html) to work with the GHC team primarily, as well as other core Haskell ecosystem open source projects.
