Kaddy is a B2B marketplace for businesses in the alcoholic beverage and related sectors.

The platform connects wholesale buyers with new independent suppliers―think breweries, wineries, distilleries, etc. Buyers can browse suppliers' product catalogues, negotiate better prices, place orders, and pay. Suppliers gain access to new customers, streamlined ordering, CRM tools, and guaranteed payment. We are experiencing rapid growth and are working with some of the most sought after beverages brands, hospitality operators, and liquor retailers in Australia.

We're looking for an experienced Go developer. You'll be joining a team of 7 other engineers. We hold periodic retros to make sure our process makes sense. All work is peer reviewed. We release to production once a week. The rest of our stack includes React, GraphQL and Postgres. Hosted on Heroku/Netlify.

We are a synchronous remote team. All processes are optimized for a remote work from home culture. You may work from any location within Australia/NZ. We also have a great Sydney office in Darlinghurst that you're welcome to work from. It has a most excellent bar fridge filled with the latest and greatest craft beers from around the country.

Kaddy is a B2B marketplace for businesses in the alcoholic beverage and related sectors. The platform lets wholesale buyers discover new independent suppliers (breweries, wineries, distilleries, etc) and products, and connect, communicate, order and pay. Suppliers gain access to new customers, streamlined ordering, CRM tools, and guaranteed payment. We are experiencing rapid growth and are working with some of the most sought after beverages brands, hospitality operators, and liquor retailers in Australia.

We're looking for someone to lead our small but growing frontend team. Our ideal candidate is someone who loves building out features, with an eye to gradually factoring out a design system so that future engineers can build with ease. You are customer focused, with strong UI fundamentals. You are engineering focused but want to lead a team in the future. You have strong opinions on what good code architecture is and the importance of good state management. If this sounds like you (or pretty close), then please reach out.

Our tech stack is a React/Next (with some legacy Vue.js) frontend that’s mediated by GraphQL (Apollo) to a Go API backed by Postgres—all hosted on Heroku/Netlify.

This is the heart of why we use Riemann. When we first started using it 2 years ago, we had thousands of different types of error emails per day (due to monitoring thousands of retail stores, all with their quirks). Because Riemann config is just code, we were able to build systems and abstractions on top of it for describing the various error types and their semantics. E.g If 500s are being returned from service A, only alert us if > 1% of those requests failed in the last 2 minutes. You can get these kinds of rules in something like Nagios, but if you want customization, you have to deal with plugins. Here, it's just code. If we don't like it, we change it. The result is that there's no excuse to setup gmail filters. You can ensure that all errors are actionable.

You can work on Clojure at quite a few companies, but rarely can you impact millions of people at such a personal level. Walmart's mobile apps are highly rated and the services we write to support them are the base of that success. We started from a small company acquisition with a single product. Today, we power a platform and a suite of products running on mobile devices and systems in retail stores.

We're still a small, flat team of engineers. We work with our own tools and make our own build-or-borrow decisions. Our culture is a healthy mix of sharing and pushing each other to be better at our craft. For example, we use pull requests & code reviews liberally. We make refactoring time. We deploy often, with a single line of code run from a REPL. Engineers on our team are challenged to work through our full software stack and be part of our product management. We believe that people are more engaged, fulfilled and happy when they feel responsible for actually shipping their work.

The environment at WalmartLabs balances moving fast and breaking shit, with the knowledge that we could break shit for 150+ million people every week. It's a tough balance but we've found the payoff to be worth the challenge and responsibility.

Some aspects of our work that are important to us:

  - high performance distributed systems
  - robust & well-factored codebases
  - simple & fast deployments
  - automating the hell out of operations
  - thorough system test coverage
  - managing our own development process and work backlog
  - pair programming when it makes sense (locally and remotely)
  - contributing back to the clojure & open source community

  - write all our production systems & tools in Clojure
  - create and orchestrate massive distributed systems
  - spin up RESTful web services for consuming & ingesting large volumes of data

- Pedestal doesn't deal with the DB. I just grepped for datomic on the codebase and found nothing. Relevance is one half of Datomic so it's not surprising they've used it in their example docs.

- The idea is to use clojure across the entire stack. As a clojure developer, this is fantastic. It also uses EDN as it's wire format.

- I'm not sure how far the composability goes but I get the impression that it's one of their design goals.

- The routing syntax looks pretty simple to me.

I don't get the opinion that this is Rails for Clojure. It's dealing mainly with asynchronous real-time client server communication with some great client additions. It doesn't enforce any kind of DB integration such as DB migrations which have always been one of Rail's killer features to me.
