Tech we use at present:

- Elixir for APIs, storage, and external integration;
- Python for the Machine Learning pipelines;
- React for the first version of our frontend (we are assessing ReasonML and Elm for the new version, stay tuned!)

About the interview process
- First, an interview with me. The interview will consist of: a free form chat just to know more about each other, a few quiz questions to know what kind of expertise you have, and a live coding session (in Elixir preferably) on a small problem. The interview should be about 1 hour.
- Then you can continue the small coding project we started in the live coding session, spent ~2 hours (offline, no pressure) to finish it and polish a bit. Then sent it to us, so we can have a more accurate sense of your engineering/coding abilities. We will give you feedback after we finish evaluating it.
- Finally, have a chat with our founder, know more about each other, and he can answer your questions about the company more generally. I’ll also join you if I have time.
