Hi all, I hope nobody objects to me posting a position here. If so I'd be happy to become a curator/maintainer of a list similar to http://python.org/jobs for the clojure community.
I have recently started a business in the states (Bellingham, WA) to support a long-term contract to build technology for the mineral exploration industry. I am increasingly relying on Clojure and currently considering javascript->ClojureScript, C#->ClojureCLR, and maybe even Python Scripts->ClojurePy. Consequently I am looking to hire a Clojure programmer. I am an experienced software engineer from an electrical engineering background and have been using Clojure for 2 years or so. I am looking for an exceptional Clojure programmer or a programmer who is on their way to becoming one and would like to use Clojure in a commercial environment. We are building "Business Analytics" [1] systems for the mineral exploration industry. Our stack of technology includes: measurement systems, electronics, embedded systems, handheld development, communications (GSM + Satellite), database development (Postgres), web application (Python Turbogears, moving to Clojure), Linux servers (hosted on the Rackspace Cloud, managed using Puppet), Amazon web services, hosted analysis API (Clojure, compojure, hiccup, Incanter, JFreeChart). One of my main aims at the moment is to rationalize the technology stack, and Clojure is a key component of that. I strongly believe that Clojure will be a key competitive advantage for us for the reasons that you will already appreciate if you've read this far! There will be an opportunity and indeed an expectation to contribute back to the open source community. I am currently based in the UK and will relocate to Bellingham, WA later this year. I would prefer to find someone local (maybe in Seattle) but it is not strictly necessary. Unfortunately I will require you to be a US citizen because my US visa is contingent on creating jobs in this US. Also, it is very likely that you will be required to interface with US customers and that may involve some travel to client sites. Please email me off-list if you're interested in talking about the position. The position will open in the next 1 to 3 months (there are various things that I need to put in place before hiring someone), and to begin with I would offer a short-term contract but I am looking for someone "permanent" if things work out. Cheers, David [1] footnote: I think "Business Intelligence" is a ridiculous term for systems that are merely presenting information to aid human operators/managers; the term should be reserved for systems that are making fuzzy decisions in place of human operators. -- David Jagoe [email protected] +447535268218 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
