## About the role

We’re looking for exceptional software engineers to join our team in doing the hard work that makes our users’ lives easy. We run on a mix of Clojure and JavaScript (and TypeScript), and the ideal candidate has shipped production code in one or more of these languages. You’ll be expected to ship major features end to end across our JavaScript and Clojure codebase, as well as deal with some of our trickier backend issues as they arise.

## What they're looking for

- Experience in Clojure (or a strong desire to learn)
- Track record of shipping products of significant complexity
- Solid CS background (acquired through either a CS program or shipping software in a production setting)
- Able to make good technical judgements and back them up articulately
- Nice to have: Experience with JDBC and database integrations
- Nice to have: Experience and knowledge of the Java ecosystem and JVM tuning
