Dustin - We'd like to talk to you about some positions we have open at Sonian. We are building single-page web applications using React and other technologies, with Clojure and Elasticsearch on the backend, all configured and deployed via Chef. We run on Amazon and other public clouds, have 19K customers and are dealing with almost 2 petabytes of data, growing at 20 million objects a day. We have some interesting new product work in the pipeline involving analytics as well as the next generation of our product in the field. It makes for some very interesting frontend and backend challenges. We have a talented team, including many early Clojure adopters/contributors and experienced frontend developers.

Our internal HR person will try and reach you on LinkedIn but I wanted to say hello here as well after seeing your post. Perhaps you've crossed paths with some of our devs at Strangeloop; we're looking forward to attending in the Fall.

I look forward to talking through opportunities with you.
