I'm mystified that not more people are offering remote possibilities when hiring for Clojure. There are some really great people out there, but the likelihood that they live in your neighborhood is low.
Geography seems like an arbitrary constraint to me. Nothing about it increases the probability of getting a better candidate.
I beg to differ - Clojure is like specifically made for distributed teams. I have never had such nice experience in other tech stacks when working remotely. There are many more remote Clojure jobs today than non-remote.
