Remote Software Engineers (Clojure)

The Clojure Backend Software Engineering team at OppLoans creates and maintains cloud-based microservices that enable Opploans' primary business functions. You will develop back-end services used across our entire technology platform. You will also:

• Work with a team of engineers to develop our microservices portfolio, implemented using Clojure, Amazon Web Services, and PostgreSQL.
• Partner with business and technical professionals to develop high-quality, resilient and scalable solutions to business problems, help implement and refine agile processes
• Contribute to architecture, design, tooling and process.
• Lead by example - we encourage team members to lead on a path that evolves the way we do things!
• Grow your skills and help others do the same! Our team manages our own internal training, with budgets for classes, conferences, books, and materials.

What you will bring to the team:

• Experience using one or more modern programming languages. Show us you've solved non-trivial engineering problems with your language and we'll be interested in you. Our collective team background includes Clojure/Lisp, Ruby, Python, Java, Node.js, Erlang and C++; bonus if you already have some proficiency in Clojure or another functional language.
• Experience developing systems with cloud technologies such as AWS, Azure, or GCP.
• Experience with Test-Driven Development (TDD) in an agile environment.
• Experience building Restful APIs and consuming 3rd party APIs.
• Experience interpreting and refining our goals into requirements, to bring large-scale projects, from concept to production.
• Experience working in an environment where a high degree of communication between and within teams is valued.
• An interest in learning new things, from the business context, to new tools, to fundamentals of good software development; and, a willingness to teach the same to others.
• An appetite for simplicity -- to bring value quickly over time, by building things well.
