Ask HN: Where do you look for functional programming jobs?

Recently, I've been experimenting with functional programming, and I have to admit, it brings back the joy of programming. I would love to find a job doing it though but have no idea where to look for.

    See the monthly Who is Hiring threads and search for functional, Haskell, OCaml, etc. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41425910 has a few hits.

    Also, this exists: https://functional.works-hub.com/

    As someone who hires for this work, I'm extremely dubious about hiring someone who is actively looking for a functional programming job. I've been burned before by PhD-type people trying to implement some theoretical thing rather than getting any work done. In the Joel Spolsky nomenclature, smart but doesn't get stuff done.
