Clojurians Log v2

Hello! https://www.clashapp.co/'re looking for senior developers with professional Clojure experience to join our team, and help us build the next version of our content creator platform. Think TikTok built for creators, by creators! We're a relatively small startup with a passionate team, and we've recently completed a funding round, which gives us a decent runway to take a really good crack at this problem. We're building a green-field backend service that will serve the needs of our mobile app (we have a dedicated mobile team who are building the frontend) and the creators/fans who use it. We're fully remote and have team members all around the world! We value simplicity and boring tech, high emotional intelligence, and building awesome products our customers love. All our code is hosted on GitHub, we communicate asynchronously where it makes sense, we jump on a Meet when that's better, and we collaborate on the design. We like to have fun too, and try to strike the right balance between hammock time, shipping, learning, and joking around. We have a slew of interesting problems to solve, including scaling to millions of users (some of our creators have 1e6 followers), security (we're monetizing this platform, and people care about paying their bills), and safety (our platform is suitable for work, and some people miss the mark with the videos they upload).  Currently, our tech stack is running on the AWS environment. We are using Clojure, Pedestal and Lacinia, with some PostgreSQL and Redis. We are exploring Kafka and Cassandra as well. If you're familiar with any or all of the tech stack above, or if you've solved problems like the ones mentioned above before, we'd love to chat! You can apply at https://jobs.lever.co/clashapp/1dffe9b7-21f6-4063-94b7-399e1685277d

I'm an independent (freelance) consultant so not interested in a permanent role but let me know if you ever want to flex your capabilities using a contractor. I have 8 years of Clojure, some Lacinia (a bit of Pedestal not much), lots of Postgresql and quite a lot of Kafka experience. Plus the usual AWS stuff you'd expect (RDS, ECS, S3...etc). Also lots of k8s and a little terraform too.

Yes we are only taking contractors outside of the US, in the US there is choice.
