About the job
Job title: Elixir/API Engineer
Job description: We are looking for an engineer who is excited to make significant contributions to our API and other backend systems.

You should have strong opinions about tools and architecture, but should also be able to explain those opinions persuasively, not abrasively. You should also take pride in writing performant, logically structured, and readable code, but be pragmatic enough to realize that sometimes shipped code is better than perfect code.
