Re: [Job spam] Write Clojure in your pajamas, for decent money in a pleasant company, remote pairing all the time
At a sort of leisurely pace, but yes, we are. We have quite a few members of this list on our dev team these days :) Please reply off list. --Alex On Fri, Oct 3, 2014 at 9:20 PM, Lucas Daniel ldanielmadari...@gmail.com wrote: Hey Alex are you still looking for devs?

Re: [Job spam] Write Clojure in your pajamas, for decent money in a pleasant company, remote pairing all the time
A couple of updates on things that were discussed earlier. 1. Thanks to this thread we are now talking to quite a few awesome people from North America. So, not everyone able and willing to write Clojure on the day job has this wish fulfilled, after all :) 2. We are not doing H1Bs/relocations for the time being. Actually, the point of remote pairing is to be able to hire masters without geography constraints, while pairing solves most of the usual problems associated with remote work. --Alex On Sunday, 17 November 2013 17:39:24 UTC-7, Alexey Verkhovsky wrote: Hello, all, I'm a Clojure noob (half way through Stu Halloway's book), who's just joined this group today.

The company was founded in February, and has been profitable since early May. The domain is enterprise software, but with a few twists that we think are real game-changers.

Our primary working environment is a Macbook pro, two thunderbolt monitors on your desktop at home using screensharing to do remote pairing. We are minimizing travel and relocation so that we can hire the best people anywhere on the continent. If we have the necessity and opportunity to travel, we let people decide for themselves whether they want to be involved. If you don’t want to travel at all, we still want to talk to you. The company is on track to make $6 million in revenue this year, with expectations of over $15 million next year, and we need the best programmers we can get to make that happen.

In 2006-7 ThoughtWiorks had quite a bit of commercial success selling Ruby work. Stuff needed to be done to make sure we can deliver Something along those lines.

It doesn't feel like jumping through burning hoops the way learning Haskell does, but still... With Ruby, I had no such issues, ever.

If I sent you a like to a github profile that looked like yours (

I mean, it's very probable that all your activity is going into private
repos.
I'd probably send you this link instead:
https://github.com/thoughtworks/cruisecontrol.rb and explain that the peak
of my open source activity happened before there was Github. And maybe
mention the whole wife/family/kids thing :)
Besides, I didn't say that stellar resume stands for nothing at all.
So, in short, the answer is yes. By the way, Tony, your Github looks a
heck of a lot better than mine.
Back to the original subject of the thread, it looks like either there is
more Clojure work than people with platform expertise, or Clojure is a
mostly South American phenomenon. One way or the other, South America is
the only place I've got any responses from so far. {puzzled}
