Room Key is looking for a software engineer with strong server-side web development experience - preferably with the Clojure programming language - to join our backend web development team in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Ideally you have:
- Phenomenal testing principles (and perseverance), incl. perhaps a grounding in basic stats
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills
- Willingness to fulfill multiple roles
- BS in Computer Science (but equivalent real-world experience is even better)
- Experience with Clojure or other functional programming languages
- Experience with several database types: object stores (redis), relational (postgres). Experience with Datomic a big plus.
- Experience with JVM-hosted development
- Experience with Amazon Web Services (the more the better) and Kafka
- Experience with GIS and spatial analysis
- 5+ years professional web experience
- Experience with service oriented architectures
- Demonstrated interest/experience in high performance, scalable systems
- Enthusiasm, team-contributor mindset and obsessive attention to detail
Don't be shy! If you are enthusiastic but only have a subset of our ideal qualifications, we still want to hear from you.
