IRIS.TV | Data/Systems Engineers | Global, LA-time | REMOTE | http://shorturl.at/vPZ38

Would you like to join a small team who are passionate, fun, and talented? We at IRIS.TV are thrilled to share that we're now looking to expand our team with data/systems engineers! We're looking for candidates with some significant Clojure experience, who are self-directed and creative problem-solvers. We're hoping to find people who want to work with us long-term, on a contract basis. We can work with contractors internationally; details depend on where you are, but we're already a globally distributed team. We cannot sponsor visas at this time. You would need to operate with some overlap with Los Angeles time, particularly our daily meeting at 18:00 UTC (10 AM Pacific). We have "big" data today, and much bigger to come... we are doing this with Clojure (and Kafka Streams, Spark, Cassandra, K8s). Our current tech team is 5 engineers, 2 Ops/SREs, and 1 data scientist. We're processing billions of video views per day across hundreds of publishers. If you are excited about this, reach out to me by email and please put "DATA ENGINEER" in the subject. blake@iris.tv


Yes! I must point out a little factual error: JVM Clojure is not transpiled to Java, it is compiled on-demand to JVM bytecode.


At IRIS.TV we use Clojure & ClojureScript to

* power our data pipeline (precompiled Clojure on Apache Spark, + Kafka & Cassandra)

* build our internal configuration management and reporting tool (Clojure server, CLJS+React client)

* glue things together (microservices in Clojure)

* investigate systems and data (Clojure repl)
