As a growing company, every employee plays a huge part in our success!

Job Description

In this role, you’ll work closely with four other passionate Clojure/ClojureScript developers who have attended multiple Clojure Conjs and who have hosted Clojure meetups. Our developers work in a tightly knit team, reviewing each other’s code and joining standup together every day. If you’re excited about being part of a small team, this could be a great position for you.

We ship code to production multiple times a week. Once the work is ready, we put it out into the world to help nonprofits raise more money from workplace giving programs! Our philosophy is that code should not collect dust on the shelf when it could be out there helping our clients. If this fast-paced environment sounds exciting and purposeful, this could be a great environment for you.

In this role, you will:

• Use Clojure, ClojureScript, and the rest of the our tech stack to maintain and enhance our web application, APIs, and more. This is primarily a development role, so the majority of your time will be spent on development.

• Work closely with Client Success to handle occasional high-value technical support to our largest clients.

• Support our external platform partners, building and maintaining API integrations and assisting their teams with developing, troubleshooting, and enhancing those integrations.

Requirements

Who we’re looking for:

• Multiple years functional programming experience, preferably Clojure.

• Frontend experience with Clojurescript, React or equivalent rendering library.

• Backend experience with ring, or other functional programming backends.

• Experience with devops, including Docker.

• Good teamwork skills to join a small team of passionate developers.

• Good customer service skills as support tickets will be assigned occasionally.

• Ideally based in Georgia as we do 1-1.2 in-office days per week, our insurance is GA-specific, and we’re not established as an employer in other states.

As a small growing business, there are a few traits unique to our business that individuals should consider before applying:

• You must love the idea of giving back to the community and nonprofits. There are thousands of jobs. If being involved in the success of nonprofits is something you’re truly passionate about, this could be a great role.

• You must be extremely comfortable with change. As a small growing company, decisions can be made over a weekend and fully implemented by early the next week. Whether that’s new systems, new processes, or new approaches, we look for individuals who can adapt and thrive.

• You must believe that the best contributors should get better rewards. As a company, we believe in paying people based on the value they generate at the business.

• You must be willing to disagree and commit. As a growing business, there will be lots of decisions that get made and changes that occur during your time at the company. Some of which you’ll agree with and some you won’t, we strongly believe that the best team members have the ability to disagree and commit (i.e., going with a decision after it has been made regardless of whether or not you agree).

• You must believe the status quo is unacceptable. As a growing company and as individuals, we believe the status quo is unacceptable. Everyone should be relentless in striving to be the best version of themselves and figure out ways to create more value at the company, enhance our client's results, and grow professionally. The question should always be “How can I be better” rather than “How can expectations be adjusted”.

We also need you to:

• Be able to work independently and have a proven ability to work in a fast-paced environment

• Have excellent written & verbal communication skills

• Have a demonstrated ability to learn new things quickly and think on your feet

• Can work through obstacles and challenges

• Be highly organized with strong time management skills

• Be results-driven and goal-oriented

• 20 vacation days per year
