Senior Clojure developer

Infine is looking for a senior Clojure developer able to work partly remotely in Helsinki, Finland.

What is Infine?

Infine makes it easy for food resellers and producers to analyze their products from all sustainability angles. The software behind the service reads in product data and provides results such as the risk of forced labor, endangered fish species, CO₂ Footprint, and animal welfare. The goal is to make it so easy to check relevant features and risks for product assortments that they become more commonplace; we believe you need to know your challenges before you can improve.

Simplified, we are selling SaaS, but the business model is a bit more sophisticated.

Infine has a small team of seven employees and a group of advisors. We are expanding into new markets this year and have more to do than we have time for.

What are we looking for:

We are using Clojure full-stack and don’t really have time for a long ramp-up period, so Clojure experience is important.

We are looking for a developer who doesn’t need, or even want, a fully specified issue to work on a solution. You would need to take responsibility for implementing whole solutions, and to do that, you might need to talk with non-technical experts to figure out the exact requirements, go Wikipedia hunting for numerical algorithms, or browse through EU sites for relevant regulations. It might be enough to change the frontend or backend, but often both are needed. We want people who prefer simple, readable, and maintainable code over clever code.

You will be the second technical person in the company, so you need to get familiar with the whole system, also for redundancy. Given the rapid pace of change, you can also have a significant influence on the overall architecture. We also don’t have a settled AI/LLM strategy, though we want to keep the core of the product fully understood by our developers (not just how the code works, but why it is designed the way it is), so it would be valuable if you could help
