About the Role
We are looking for a talented Clojure Backend Software Engineer to join a long-term project focused on building scalable, AI-powered applications. You will develop backend services, APIs, and data pipelines while integrating Large Language Models (LLMs) into production environments.
This is an excellent opportunity for engineers who enjoy functional programming, solving complex technical challenges, and building high-performance systems.
Responsibilities
- Design, develop, and maintain backend services using Clojure.
- Build scalable APIs and distributed backend solutions.
- Design and optimize PostgreSQL databases and data models.
- Integrate and manage AI/LLM services (such as GPT, Gemini, or similar) in production applications.
- Develop reliable data workflows and backend integrations.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality software.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.
- Strong professional experience with Clojure.
- Solid experience with PostgreSQL, including database design and query optimization.
- Experience integrating LLMs or AI services into production systems.
- Strong backend engineering experience building scalable APIs and distributed applications.
- Advanced English communication skills.
Nice to Have
- Experience with ClojureScript.
- Knowledge of Java and the JVM ecosystem.
- Experience with workflow orchestration tools such as Temporal, Airflow, or Step Functions.
- Familiarity with vector databases (Qdrant, Pinecone, Weaviate) and RAG architectures.
- Experience with Generative AI, semantic search, or AI-powered automation.
If you're passionate about functional programming, backend engineering, and building modern AI-driven solutions, we'd love to hear from you.
