Clojure Developer

We're working with a well-known organisation that's looking for a contract Clojure Developer to support a core team as they continue to maintain and gradually migrate a suite of critical backend applications. You'll be joining a team of experienced Clojure engineers responsible for a range of systems including:

• Page composition and rendering for article and channel pages
• A configuration platform
• Data pipelines pushing Oracle DB content into Elasticsearch
• Internal jobs and feeds systems
• Sitemaps
• Elements of a comments service

These are monolithic, on-premise backend systems, with a fair amount of templating involved – so some basic HTML knowledge will come in handy. While the long-term vision is a full platform migration, this role is focused on supporting the existing stack during that transition.

What we're looking for:

• Strong experience with Clojure in a production environment
• Solid backend engineering background
• Familiarity with templating and rendering (HTML knowledge a plus)
• Comfortable working in legacy/monolith environments
• UK-based contractor (or eligible to work in the UK)

If you're a pragmatic, experienced Clojure developer who enjoys solving real-world problems and keeping systems running smoothly during major transitions, we'd love to hear from you.
