My job postings here have had great outcomes: @rlander joined our team in 2023 and @lwhorton joined in 2024. We're still small and focused, but business demands that we do more faster. To that end, we're hiring another full-time Clojure developer. ----------------------------------- Wanted: a mid- to senior-level Backend Clojure developer to help build https://www.recmint.com/ platform for aggregating Solar Renewable Energy Certificates.[^1] Candidates should be almost as excited by our deps.edn[^2] contents as they are about working for a compassionate company combatting climate change at the ground level. We’re still a startup (ten full-time employees and a handful of contractors) embedded within a larger solar energy company. And while we think https://what3words.com/work.scarf.chairs is an awesome place to work, there have been grumblings that we are biased so hybrid and remote-only candidates will be welcomed and subjected to occasional suggestions to relocate (at our expense) or at least visit the mother ship a couple of times a year. Candidates for this position must be US-based. Compensation for this full-time position will vary ($150K - $185K per year) with experience and skills. Benefits are strong and compassionate, and the company culture is a breath of fresh air. You’ll need a conversation with the team to really appreciate it though. To apply, submit a formal application https://recmint.com/job-senior-back-end-software-developer and DM me (@cch1) with a note about your application so that it doesn't get lost in the billions of AI-generated garbage applications. In addition to the libraries in our deps.edn[^2], if you have experience any of the following you will get extra consideration: • Datomic Cloud. We are "all-in" on Datomic Cloud as both a hosting environment and a Database. • ERP or business applications: Do you know the difference between inventory and work in progress? How about a purchase order and a purchase contract? • Unpoly, or more generally, HTMX. • OAuth: do you know the consequences of allowing a refresh token to expire? Do you know what standards OAuth 2.0 refresh tokens follow? • JSON:API: do you know how to add metadata to a JSON:API response? • AirTable: we're migrating an AirTable-based psuedo-accounting system to Clojure. If you have experience with such integrations, it will help. • bubble: our customer-facing front-end is based on bubble. Making sure we feed the right data to bubble is Job One of our API. In closing, I request your patience as we sift through the certain flood of mostly unqualified and suspiciously similar applications. [^1]: Don’t worry if you have never heard of an SREC -I didn’t either before I started working here. SRECs solve this problem: prove that you have generated solar energy in lieu of consuming (probably CO2-generating) energy from your utility company. The resulting certificates are saleable assets in many states in the US. [^2]: In lieu of prose about our tech stack, here are excerpts from our deps.edn:

As of right now, I am closing the application phase of this job. For all candidates who have submitted a job, thank you. I will respond to each of you individually regardless of outcome. If you missed the deadline, know that we hire about once a year and I hope to do this again.

Great job post! EU based for me unfortunately

Sharing your deps.edn file is a great way to show off the technology knowledge required! I'm stealing that idea 👀

I've gotten nothing but positive comments on that approach here. Know your audience!
