We built something a bit novel that is focused on composable integration testing in Clojure. We've used this for many years and found it quite useful for keeping a large testing codebase sane.

Amperity | Seattle / NY / Zoomverse | Remote | Full-time
Amperity is hiring a variety of technical roles: Engineering Manager, Applied Data Scientist (Lead), Senior Software Engineer.
Interesting problems: - Ingesting and cleaning massive amounts of data daily and blending it with real-time events - Automatically stitching data together across disparate systems by training machine-learning models to build a probabilistic knowledge graph - Taking research algorithms and productionizing them for high-scale usage - Allowing users to perform complex, real-time queries across an aggregated view of their data - Publishing query result data to a diverse set of systems for client usage.
Tech stack: - Clojure/ClojureScript - React/Reframe - Mesos/K8S - Spark - Kafka - SaltStack/Terraform - Riemann/InfluxDB/Grafana

Amperity | Seattle, WA & New York, NY | ONSITE, REMOTE | Full-time
Amperity is a unicorn company building a comprehensive, data foundational CDP. We're hiring engineers across all levels.
Interesting problems:
- Ingesting and cleaning large amounts of data daily and blending it with real-time events
- Automatically stitching data together across disparate systems by training machine-learning models to build a probabilistic identity graph
- Using algorithms to generate new insights based on behaviors (e.g. predicting customer lifetime value)
- Taking research algorithms and productionizing them for high-scale usage
- Allowing users to perform complex, real-time queries across an aggregated view of their data
- Publishing query result data to a diverse set of systems for client usage
We're using Clojure/ClojureScript and all the modern big data tech goodies you'd expect of a 5-year-old company. More at https://eng.amperity.com/

That has always annoyed me as well, though in fairness the two times they caught a discrepancy at the exit it was in my favor (forgot an item at the checkout in one case, double charged in the other).

Amperity | Seattle, WA | ONSITE & REMOTE | Full-time
Amperity is a startup company founded in January 2016 to tackle the problem of customer data unification at scale.
We are hiring experienced engineers to write Clojure (and ClojureScript for the front end inclined) in Seattle, WA. Remote is an option as well for the right candidate.
This is an early stage opportunity at an ambitious, well funded startup company. Full stack Clojure, not "a bit of Clojure on the side". You'll write Clojure all day, solve difficult problems at very large scale, and get paid.
Background in large scale data processing, distributed systems, and machine learning are all major bonuses. Other elements of the stack include Mesos, Apache Aurora, Finagle, Spark, Kafka, Accumulo, Onyx, SaltStack, and Riemann.
