Lab79 | Clojure Engineer - San Francisco - REMOTE OK

Around the world, we experience healthcare the same way we did 10 years ago. 99% of it still takes place inside the traditional walls of a hospital or doctor's office. In the meantime, 99% of what determines our health happens outside of them. Lab79 is looking to change that, by reimagining how we experience healthcare, with a particular emphasis on our most vulnerable populations. If you are looking to make a real difference in people's lives and work on an exciting future for healthcare, you'll love the work we're doing.

You are a full-stack Clojure/script engineer with at least two years of experience in Clojure. Our current stack is Clojure, Datomic, and Om Next on top of Kubernetes. Our engineering team is distributed, and we are looking to add one more engineer to the team in the next 2 months. If you'd like to learn more, we'd love to hear from you at careers@lab79.org.

A survey won't produce enough sample points to be statistically significant. You'd get more statistically reliable numbers using Google Keyword Tool. For example, if you're thinking of making a voip app for the android, GKT shows 9,900 global monthly searches for "voip android," which is a lot lower than the 3.35M that voip searches get and the 13.6M that android searches get. Both are big markets, and I can't imagine "guesswork" that would somehow arrive at 10k by combining the 2 market numbers of 3M and 13M. Google Keyword Tool would be one of the most reliable ways to give you the confidence or warning signs you need to dive in or avoid implementation.
