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!
