Are they pipes?

Ah! Or... Ahi! Or... not ahi!

In which country / region are you searching?

I'm based in the UK and am looking for remote within any timezone that is comfortable with me being in GMT.

Ah, and from the initial post? Happy Birthday?

On Friday, thank you! 🙂

We might be in a position to hire a Clojure developer this year in Germany, but we are not able to tell, yet, and the UK / EU hassle doesn’t help 🙈

Sorry about that! I worked a couple of years in Germany in the early '90s, really enjoyed it!

Hey @U4EPGBKPV, Metabase is almost always hiring for Clojure devs and doesn't care about timezones. We have a few devs in Europe, including me in Edinburgh: https://www.metabase.com/jobs Happy to answer questions about the work

Hi Tim, Thank you for the link, backend engineer seems to fit what I've been doing most closely.

Great! There are three main focus areas for BE devs: 1) "normal" app development, writing APIs for the frontend team to consume and dealing with the application database and so forth 2) working on our "query processor", which translates the "metabase query language" (sort of a superset of SQL, written in EDN) to run on fifteen or so different databases, from Postgres to Athena to BigQuery. 3) working on the Cloud team, which manages deploying Metabase instances as SaaS for customers (and has a lot of Clojure tooling for managing AWS, running an online admin panel, etc.) A neat thing is that #1 and #2 are all open source, so you can see what's going on on Github

That sounds cool - I currently work at Meta, having been acquired when Unit 2 Games was! I think I'd fit most of the criteria so I'll make an application from the web - wish me luck (my name is Peter Long, in case you see my CV float by 🙂 ).

All the best! Just to calibrate expectations, I think the current flow is: 1. Submit CV, etc. 2. 20-30 minute phone screen, including a quick coding problem done via screensharing 3. Three hour-long interviews 4. Take-home coding problem (budget ~4 hours) Of course, there's an implicit if that goes well between each step. There'll be room for questions as part of the formal process, but like I said, I'm happy to answer others if that's helpful

Thank you for the heads-up - about to hit the Apply button 😰 !

@U1Z4D5SSV? :)

@U055NJ5CC ? 🙏:skin-tone-3:

We're super proud that :clojureD took place eight times in a row and even throughout the pandemic. But due to staff shortages, it seems like there won't be a :clojureD in 2023. 😞

@U1Z4D5SSV I'm super proud to have been to many of them from 2019 onward! It's sad to hear, but at the same time, I'm super thankful for all your, @UQ5U3KAHK and other people's efforts

I would suspect there would be another reclojure this year, usually around December time.

But that's only online right

It's not a Clojure conference per se, but at first glance Lambda Days looks promising?

That is right, online - but maybe this year we'll do it hybrid 🙂

I always get Lambda Days (good?) mixed up with LambdaConf (invites Nazis to speak)

haha me too

I finally have some room in my calendar for a conference, so I’m sad to hear that ClojureD isn’t happening in 2023 😞

Yes, and with my dislike of long flights, there aren't many alternatives either 😢

is that a provocation… since my memory is wiped, let’s go: 1 + 2, + 1 2, or 1 2 + ?
