Job Description

Posted on: September 5, 2026

We've been retained to work exclusively in support of our client as they look to build out their current functional programming team, with the addition of a new Clojure developer.


We're looking for an intellectually curious clojure developer to join this muliti-award winning fintech with offices in both London and New York.


The successful applicant will have the option to work ideally in a hybrid set up with time needed, by negotiation, at our client's London office.


The client would also consider the potential of an applicant working 100% remote. The applicant must be based in the UK, with full right to work in the UK.


Essential skills for the role

  • STEM based bachelors degree preferred
  • Candidates with higher level degrees of education welcomed
  • Minimum 5 years' commercial experience software engineering with Clojure - other functional programming languages considered (for example Haskell, OCaml, Rust, Lisp) but Clojure is the primary development tool in house
  • Comfortable building APIs
  • Comfortable working with relational databases
  • Cloud experience (ideally AWS but other cloud technologies also seriously considered)
  • Product-driven mindset to engineering
  • Given the hybrid / remote nature of the role, strong communication skills alongside the ability to work on initiative


Bonus for the role (though not mandatory)

  • Experience of working on DSLs
  • Commercial experience working with both Clojure and Haskell


Deliverables

  • Include enhancement and further development of our client's award winning fintech platform
  • Development of the current technical architecture and design to drive the product forward
  • Take an active part in the delivery, implementation and support of planned cloud based projects


Interested candidates are encouraged to apply. Promising candidates can be assured of a response within 24 hours.


TheDifferenceEngine is an agency, exclusively retained, to assist our client with this hire.
