Cognota | REMOTE | Canada | IT Operations & Cloud Systems Manager | Full-Time

Cognota is a growing venture on a mission to power LearnOps™ for all enterprises. We build a corporate learning and development (L&D) operations platform that helps companies manage their L&D programs more efficiently. We were founded in 2016 and have raised $11 million USD in funding to date, including a $5.5M Series A round this September. We are fortunate to be empowering L&D teams around the world at companies including General Mills, Americo, EY, and Comerica Bank.

We are a remote-first, SaaS venture with team members across Canada. As we scale, the complexity of our technical operations is growing and has created an opportunity on our team.

You can expect:

- Competitive pay complemented by stock options.

- Medical, dental, vision and extended health coverage from day one.

- Unlimited vacation days.

- Monthly “You Days” when the whole company gets the day off to recharge and focus on themselves.

- Paid time off on your birthday to celebrate and enjoy a day just for you.

- Professional development opportunities through access to internal mentors and a huge library of learning and development content.

- A flexible, remote-first way of working.

A word of caution, this is not your typical IT Operations role. Reporting to our CISO, you'll help shape our IT culture, enhance information security practices, forge order from chaos, and redefine our team’s relationship with technology. You'll design and implement our corporate IT practices, collaborating closely with leaders across the organization to elevate the end-user experience.

This marks the first hire for Cognota’s IT organization and the role requires someone consultative, comfortable working across teams, and driven by transparency, quality, and infectious enthusiasm.

If you have any questions, please reach out to me directly at jackson.mullins@cognota.com.

I tried to be a customer, but alas the family member who I bought it for was reluctant to revisit her childhood. Some traumatic memories she preferred to leave behind.

Storyworth was very understanding and refunded me promptly, which I appreciated. Definitely seems like a great company.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The short version: The team had no problems with the language when I introduced it back in the day, but after writing over 300k+ SLOC of production code over 6 years we bumped hard into a lot of the typical ecosystem problems that tend to crop up in discussion. We still have systems we support written in it which won't be phased out for years, but no new projects will be written with the language. If the team had bee…

> we bumped hard into a lot of the typical ecosystem problems I think those are the things we really wanted to hear from you about! I'm actively working on improving the Haskell ecosystem. I'm aware of a lot of "typical ecosystem problems" that cause challenges for onboarding of new Haskell users but I'm not actually aware of many problems for users who are onboarding and generally successfully using Haskell. I suppo…

There's a journal [0] on infinitenegativeutility, discussed here 40 days ago, with a section called "What pushed me away from Haskell?". That author points at issues that are primarily cultural. One example is a relaxed attitude toward backward compatibility from the GHC team.

[0] https://journal.infinitenegativeutility.com/leaving-haskell-...

If I grab an old Haskell project, even one without any external dependencies, I can often safely assume that it won't build any more with any recent version of GHC because everything has been changed just a little tiny bit.

That's an issue that would more affect experienced/long-term users than newcomers to haskell. I haven't used it myself. I'm just pointing at one person's perspective - someone who professes to still like Haskell - about why it's no longer a first choice.
