# 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 gives results for things like risks of forced labor, endangered fish species, CO₂-footprint and animal welfare. The goal is to make it so easy to check these that it will become more commonplace; we think that you need to know your problems before you can improve.

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

Infine has a small team of seven employees and a group of advisors. We are expanding to many new countries this year, and have more things to do than time.

## What are we looking for
We are using Clojure fullstack, and don't really have time for a long ramp up period, so knowing Clojure is important.

We are looking for a developer who doesn't need, or even want, a fully specced issue to work on a solution. You would need to take responsibility of implementing whole solutions, and to do that you might need to talk with non-technical experts to figure out the true requirements, go wikipedia hunting for numerical algorithms or browse through EU sites for relevant regulation. It might be enought 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. Combined with the quick pace things are changing, this means that you can also have 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 works in the way it does), so it would be good that you could participate in shaping that.

We work most of the time remotely, but we find it important to meet now and then in person at our Helsinki office. At the beginning the we would work more locally until you get up to speed, but even later you would need to live close enough to show up a couple of times a month. Most of the team lives in the capital area, with one person living part time in Oulu, and the rest in Helsinki.

We are looking for an individual with a long-term commitment, with no cross border contracts. Primarily an employment contract, also open to a freelancer, but not interested in consulting companies.

We can also accommodate part time work, though probably anything under 80% would make it difficult to keep up.

These things would also be nice:
- You want to save the world, or at least make it a better place.
- Experience with LCA/carbon footprint calculations.
- Experience and interest in sysadmin/devops and even generic IT-support.
  We don't have dedicated people looking after our production environment, company website or email.
- You know enough about neurodivergence to understand that people work in different ways.
- Understanding nordic or baltic languages.

We are aiming for a monthly wage of 4000–6000€, depending on experience and if you want to also become a shareholder.

## How can you apply
Send an email to recruitment ät infine.fi with your CV and a freeform description of why you think Infine would be good for you, and you for Infine. All reasonable applications (not clearly outside the above spec) will get an answer, so you know what's happening.

Next step would be a short, half an hour video call to get quick QA and clarifications for both sides. Then an about 1.5 hour face to face technical interview with the CTO at Infine office in Alppila, Helsinki. And finally an interview with the larger team at the same place.

We respect your time and won't require you to spend any more than we would. There will be no assignments to take home, or required portfolios; we understand that professionals are busy, and usually work with codebases that cannot be published. There won't be coding sessions on paper where you would have to work without your usual tooling, but part of the interview might be pair programming where the interviewer has editor control and you would give directions on a higher level
