Just FYI - I've hired one senior developer (at Quantile Technologies Ltd) where
the job spec mentioned Guix knowledge as preferred, but not a requirement. To
widen the net, I said anyone with a working knowledge of Scheme or LISP who was
prepared to learn Guix was good enough for me. The person I hired had some
knowledge of NixOS, decent LISP background, and had heard of Guix, but
picked-up most of their Guix knowledge after hiring. The role is approx 50%
Guix/Guile, and 50% unrelated development work (Scala/C++/Python/etc).
I'm not hiring at the moment, and no plans, but might have development/devops
crossover positions in the future similar to this - probably not fully remote
tho, and London based. I would probably post these on Guix Developers if and
when they come about.
In general, you don't hear of many roles, but I hope that will change in time!
