Clojure Developer

We've been retained to work exclusively in support of our client as they look to build out their current functional programming team, with the addition of a new Clojure developer.

We're looking for an intellectually curious clojure developer to join this muliti-award winning fintech with offices in both London and New York.

The successful applicant will have the option to work ideally in a hybrid set up with time needed, by negotiation, at our client's London office.

The client would also consider the potential of an applicant working 100% remote. The applicant must be based in the UK, with full right to work in the UK.

Essential skills for the role

• STEM based bachelors degree preferred
• Candidates with higher level degrees of education welcomed
• Minimum 5 years' commercial experience software engineering with Clojure - other functional programming languages considered (for example Haskell, OCaml, Rust, Lisp) but Clojure is the primary development tool in house
• Comfortable building APIs
• Comfortable working with relational databases
• Cloud experience (ideally AWS but other cloud technologies also seriously considered)
• Product-driven mindset to engineering
• Given the hybrid / remote nature of the role, strong communication skills alongside the ability to work on initiative

Bonus for the role (though not mandatory)

• Experience of working on DSLs
• Commercial experience working with both Clojure and Haskell

Deliverables

• Include enhancement and further development of our client's award winning fintech platform
• Development of the current technical architecture and design to drive the product forward
• Take an active part in the delivery, implementation and support of planned cloud based projects

Interested candidates are encouraged to apply. Promising candidates can be assured of a response within 24 hours.
