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.

I applied at Amperity, went in and did a day of interviews. After that I was told they decided to go with another candidate. Now I see them still hiring everywhere. Was it the polite brush off? Are they actually hiring? Would they get annoyed if I applied again?

I emailed Derek to ask what is going on, and his response indicated that they are not actually hiring, and just checking to see if any one in a million candidates reply to their job postings.

So I give interviewing with Amperity an F and suggest anyone who can interview elsewhere do so and skip them.

(Also, "remote for the right candidate" really means "no remote")

I interviewed there as well, and would suggest the same.

Were you also remote? What was the interview process like?
