To think really well our brains needs rest and focus. In balancing our time, energy and attention, we rejuvenate with power naps, mindfulness or even a quick planking challenge.
IN A NUTSHELL…
Bellroy isn’t a software company that happens to make physical products. We’re a product company, and our software exists to give us a real competitive edge. That distinction matters. It means we care about quality and craft, not just delivery speed. We build systems that solve real-world problems for our customers, our team, and our operations, and we do it with care.
We’re extending the capabilities of our bespoke e-commerce platform, integrating with digital marketplaces around the world and supporting the release of exciting new carry goods. As we scale, we’re seeking a Haskell developer who can help us build an elegant platform to support our growth.
We’re looking for someone who understands that Haskell isn’t just a language we use, but a tool we wield with purpose. You’ll help us build features that not only work today but evolve gracefully tomorrow. While we love pure functional programming as much as the next Haskeller, we’re pragmatic enough to know that sometimes a clever hack beats a perfect abstraction. The key is knowing the difference.
Your growth matters to us. Beyond our learning budget, you’ll find yourself immersed in a culture of continuous learning through our hack days, company-wide learning events, and our weekly Technology Team book clubs and mob programming sessions. We’ve explored everything from UX classics like Don’t Make Me Think to engineering fundamentals like The Pragmatic Programmer.
Bring us your problem-solving prowess and quick thinking. In return, we offer a culture where intellectual honesty isn’t just encouraged, it’s expected. Where autonomy isn’t just promised - it’s built into our workflow. Where you’ll have the tools you need to turn great ideas into reality.
YOU COULD BE THE ONE IF YOU…
- Have spent 2+ years wielding Haskell or another functional programming language. This experience can be professional, or an equivalent amount of open-source contributions, academic work, or substantial side projects
- Take pride in crafting code that’s thoughtfully designed and built to last
- Are more interested in mastering your craft than climbing the management ladder (though we’re open to that changing as you grow with us)
- Thrive in a cross-functional environment, collaborating with experts across product design, data science, logistics, and beyond
- See your work as more than a paycheck - you’re driven by the challenge of creating exceptional solutions
- Have an insatiable curiosity for new ideas, whether they come from technical blogs or philosophy podcasts
- Want to be part of a company that’s using business as a force for good.
WE’D BE EXTRA THRILLED IF YOU…
- Have tamed Nix and lived to tell the tale
- Know your way around the AWS ecosystem
- Can navigate Ruby on Rails codebases (we have a slowly shrinking, legacy Rails ecosystem that interfaces with our Haskell services).
IF YOU WERE HERE LAST WEEK, YOU WOULD HAVE…
- Tidied up loose ends from the project you just finished with another member of the team, and taken some time to make some of the code you wrote more elegant and maintainable
- Joined the whole team in a retrospective of our last project cycle, and helped create a shortlist of continuous improvement tasks for us to prioritise
- Taken part in our bi-monthly Hack Day event, and spent a day working on something that inspires you or fixing something that annoys you
- Attended our weekly Functional Programming meet to discuss some new Haskell packages and conventions we’re thinking about using
- Picked up some small but high value technical tasks to complete during our post-project cooldown period.
WHY WORK FOR BELLROY?
Bellroy’s mission is to inspire better ways to carry; use business as a force for good; and help the world – and our crew – flourish.

We donate a portion of our revenue to some of the world’s most effective charities and are a certified B Corporation.
We have carefully built our culture on radical effectiveness. Our credo is “smart people with good intentions who get shit done” (yes, really). We help our staff love their work and grow as people and have been recognized as Australia’s Best Place to Work 2021, in the ”< 100 Employees” category. If you are excited by the idea of working in an intellectually challenging environment, in an award-winning culture with genuinely great people, this might be the role for you.
