[JOB] Looking a Clojure programmer
Timo Sulg
Hi,
i'm a Clojure programmer in ‘Skillable’ - a Stockholm, Sweden based startup building a tripadvisor.com
for employers: employees rate own employers, we crunch the data for companies ranking, matching and suggestion.
I joined Skillable exactly 1 year ago as full-stack Ruby developer to take over mostly outsourced monolithic RoR app.
After had encountered problems with scaling and fixing spaghetti code during large-scale marketing campaigns,
we decided to scrap old experiment by taking the idea that worked best and start building a better product from there.
We've launched a simple MVP in partnership with karrierforetagen.se (http://review.karriarforetagen.se/?c=skillable)
to award ‘the most exciting companies to work for in Sweden’. We’ve built the ratings mechanism and the core API,
which exposes all essential business logic behind it (https://api.skillable.com/index.html) – The API and all background services are written in Clojure (compojure-api, fink-nottle, AWS, docker)
Currently we're building a more advanced product that'll show results of reviews and recommends companies
relevant to the visiting users. There's lot of work to be done in backend – we need to add additional services,
tweak search algorithms, experiment with recommender systems, collect metrics, enrich data,
contribute back to open-source libraries etc.
I'm flexible in how we're going to partner up, but you should be able to visit our office at least for planning sessions.
There's no formal hiring process, feel free to contact me on twitter/slack (@timgluz) or send me old-school email (timo...@skillable.com).
Happy new year!
Timo Sulg
