Clojure is being used in almost every large company in every industry. There are many Clojure jobs being advertised online. The trick is to know where to look. I have compiled places where Clojure jobs are often posted, with instructions for how to zero in on the Clojure jobs specifically.

Hacker News' Who is Hiring?

Every month, someone creates a post on Hacker News for people to add job listings in the comments. It's not easy to link to, since it's a new post every month. This is how I find the current one for each month.

  1. Using Google, search for "hacker news who is hiring {month} {year}". For example: "hacker news who is hiring september 2016"
  2. It's usually the first result, so click it.
  3. Using the browser's in-page search (usually Ctrl-F or Cmd-F), search for "Clojure"
