Dedicated engineering
Hire Specialized Clojure Engineering
Dedicated Clojure capacity that embeds with your engineering team — for companies that need experienced hands on a production system while hiring takes its course.

deliver))Highlights
Embedded, not detached
Working inside your repositories, standups and review process — visible progress your team can inspect daily.
Senior by default
Engagements are led by the engineer doing the work. There is no junior layer between you and the code.
Scoped honestly
Capacity is committed only when it can be delivered well. No bench, no overselling.
Why teams look outside for Clojure capacity
The Clojure talent market is small by design. The language rewards experienced engineers, and the people who know it well tend to already be employed. A hiring process that takes four to six months is normal — which is a problem when the roadmap, the incident backlog and the migration deadline are measured in weeks.
Bringing in specialized engineering is a way to keep the system moving without lowering the hiring bar. It also removes the pressure to make a permanent decision under time pressure.
- An open Clojure role that has stayed open too long
- A departure that took system context with it
- A roadmap commitment that cannot slip another quarter
- A team strong in Java or Kotlin but new to Clojure
- A short, intense period of work that does not justify a permanent hire
How the engagement works
Engagements are usually monthly, with an agreed scope and a regular cadence of written updates. Access is set up the way you would set it up for an employee: repository access, CI, the ticket tracker, and the channels where your engineers actually talk.
Progress is measured by merged, reviewed work and by how much easier the system is to change — not by hours logged.
- Agreed scope and monthly cadence
- Your workflow, your review standards
- Written technical updates in English
- Direct access to the engineer, no account manager layer
- Clean exit: documentation and handover included
What this is not
This is not a staffing marketplace and there is no large pool of interchangeable developers behind it. Transducta is a specialized consultancy: the capacity is real but finite, and it is offered only where Clojure and functional engineering are genuinely the right fit.
If your need is high-volume generic development capacity, a different kind of partner will serve you better — and we will say so early rather than take the contract.
Frequently asked questions
- Is this staffing or consulting?
- It is specialized engineering provided through Transducta. You are contracting a consultancy with Clojure depth, not selecting a CV from a bench of available developers.
- How quickly can work start?
- It depends on current commitments. Because the consultancy is deliberately small, availability is discussed honestly at the first conversation rather than promised in advance.
- Can you work inside our tooling and process?
- Yes — your repositories, CI, ticket tracker, review standards and communication channels.
- What if we later hire in-house Clojure engineers?
- That is a good outcome. Engagements are structured so knowledge lives in the codebase and in written documentation, making handover straightforward.
