Talent teams are stuck in tools built a decade ago. We're replacing them.

Staffer is an AI-native hiring platform that actually works the way recruiters think: it learns your company, writes roles, searches 850M+ profiles, scores candidates, and runs personalized outreach, all while keeping candidates in the loop through a transparent portal. The response from teams escaping legacy ATS hell has been overwhelming. This isn't incremental improvement; it's a complete rethink of how hiring should work.

You'll shape the backend architecture of a product people genuinely love using. We're a senior Clojure team (our third product in the language) with deep roots in the FP community, Metosin, ClojureDart creators, and others. If you want to own what you build and work on something that matters, this is it.

This Role

- Design and develop backend solutions using Clojure, contributing to scalable, high-performance applications

- Collaborate with designers and front-end engineers working with React to create seamless user experiences

- Integrate AI/ML functionalities that adapt to user behavior and improve decision-making

- Work closely with cross-functional teams to shape the technical direction of our AI-driven ATS

- Champion best practices in functional programming, testing, and software architecture

- Participate in peer reviews and contribute to knowledge sharing within the team

What We’re Looking For

- Senior-level in Clojure development

- Experienced with PostgreSQL and web frameworks

- Passionate about functional programming and modern development practices

- Comfortable with Lisp-based languages such as Common Lisp, Scheme, or Racket

- Preferred experience with AI/ML applications, LLM orchestration, model APIs, or intelligent automation

- A strong problem solver and collaborator who values clean, performant code

- Curious, autonomous, and motivated to build meaningful software

Why Join Us?

Clojure Environment - Work alongside experienced Clojure developers as part of a larger collective, with opportunities to contribute to other projects within the Vergence Group

Challenging and Impactful Work - Join a product that's reshaping how hiring is done, for the better

Innovative Tech Stack - Work with Clojure, AI/ML, and cloud-native tools

Growth and Learning - Collaborate with top-tier talent and continuously evolve your skills
