You’ll ship features end-to-end, influence technical direction, and help shape a platform that thousands of businesses rely on every day.

• Expertise with Elixir/Phoenix, or equivalent frameworks like Rails or Django.
• Strong frontend experience with React (or similar frameworks like Vue or Svelte).
• Solid understanding of PostgreSQL and search tools like Elasticsearch.
• A track record of owning systems end-to-end and delivering high-quality code.
• Familiarity with AI-assisted coding tools (Copilot, ChatGPT, Cursor) — we love engineers who embrace new ways to move faster.

Nice to Have

• Experience at a fast-moving startup or SaaS company.
• Deep Elixir/Phoenix or LiveView experience.
• Exposure to Kubernetes, Kafka, GraphQL, or distributed systems.
  
• A passion for helping teammates grow.

• Growth: We’ll challenge you with projects that stretch your skills and career.
• Culture: Collaborative, curious, and bias-for-action — we ship fast and learn faster.

• A passion for pushing the envelope on technology and driving continuous improvement.
