Peyton Jones graduated from Trinity College, Cambridge in 1980, and worked in industry for two years before serving as a lecturer at University College London and as a professor at the University of Glasgow, where he also served as subsequently Head of Department of Computer Science. He currently works at Microsoft Research in Cambridge, England. He is married to Dorothy, a priest in the Church of England, and they have three children.

He is a major contributor to the design of the Haskell language, and a principal designer of the Glasgow Haskell Compiler. He is also involved in the C-- project.
