> ”What is it that makes you think formal methods will become more popular?”

Well, we’re hiring those skills into one of the world’s larger banks. As are peers with similar industry challenges.



Really? You have a software engineering job where a required skill set is formal methods? That's interesting. What is the role and how do they use it?


Yes, I had such roles available at both my last job and this one where I am actively hiring senior/staff/principal engineers who can contribute.

Please recognize that most of what we'd like to talk about, we can't. It's difficult for folks doing this kind of work to get clearance to talk about it. But more are undertaking this than you might think. Drop me a note if interested.
