Common Lisp Developer

at  Keepit

We are growing fast as a company and do our best to bring our SaaS cloud-based backup services to the global audience.
Our platform is designed to provide customers with an immutable historical archive of their primary data in systems such as Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Salesforce, Entra ID, Dynamics 365, and Zendesk. It aims to protect them against everything, from ransomware to simple accidents.
Most of our back-end components are written in clean, modern C++ using mainly purpose-built components and STL. Several components that deal with business processes and data mining are built using Common Lisp. Everything runs on Linux.
At Keepit we use Common Lisp for metadata extraction from large datasets, storage lifecycle management, resource accounting, and complex test suites. We want to expand our team to grow our ability to solve more of these interesting problems in the future.
If you think solving complex problems is fun, we have strong indications that we will not run out of complicated issues soon. Join us for fun!
