Clojure Developer for Malware Analysis Product

The ThreatGRID team at Cisco is looking for experienced clojure
developers to work on our large scale, malware analysis product.  Our
entire platform is built on Clojure, from the Clojurescript UI,
through the API services, around the event processing subsystem, and
down to the core.logic analysis engine.

Our system runs as a distributed cluster in the cloud, and shrunk
down to a single on-premises appliance.  This keeps us focused on
simple solutions, clear abstractions between services, composition of
services, functional data processing, and minimal state.

We are analyzing 300k+ malware files a day, and will be scaling to
millions a day as we integrate with the Cisco product line.  We need
experienced hands in executing this scaling task, while also ensuring
our "threat intelligence" is relevant as the malware market itself
changes.

Our team is distributed across the U.S. and works from home with
occasional office visits and travel -- this requires excellent written
communications, self-confidence, trust in your co-workers, and
assuming ownership of the problems you encounter.

We work with these technologies:

 * Clojure, core.logic
 * ClojureScript, Om
 * ElasticSearch
 * PostgreSQL
 * Redis

We are looking for experience in some of the following problem domains:

 * Web Services Scaling -- Ok, but what happens if 2 million devices
   ask that question?

 * Cloud Deployment -- A herd of containers, a society of JVMs

 * DevOps -- Developers and Operators working together to reduce
   mean-time to discovery and remediation

 * Applied Machine Learning -- Fancy word for statistics, optimization
   and linear algebra.

 * Data Modeling -- Applied JSON epistemology in a world of hostile
   actors

 * System Monitoring and Alerting -- Kiries is Kibana, Riemann and
   Elasticsearch

 * Micro-Services Architecture -- Towards NetFlix OSS, but in a
   Clojure way.

 * Declarative UI Development -- Om + view definitions to deliver the
   pretty

 * Continuous Integration/Deployment -- Keep it green, push the button
   to deploy

We offer:

 * An endless supply of interesting problems, and people to solve them
   with

 * Work in one of the fastest growing product lines in Cisco

 * Competitive salary and benefits to support a stable, high-quality
   life outside of work

 * Decades of collective experience with Clojure and Common Lisp

 * Support in developing your skills and talents, we love to help each
   other grow

 * Work from home, or a Cisco office, as you please.
