Elixir Backend Engineer, Remote, Worldwide

We’re growing our team, looking for team members world-wide to join our engineering team. Learn more about the team philosophy here: GitHub - SpiffInc/engineers_field_guide: A field guide for Spiff Engineers · GitHub

As a company here’s a little bit about what our focus is: Spiff is on a mission to inspire, enable, and reward peak business performance. Why? Because business performance helps millions of people. It increases pay. It pushes people to learn and grow, innovate, and build. To help companies and reps to reach their full potential, we take the manual labor and complexity of current commission processes and completely automate them. Finance teams spend hours each month trying to prepare commissions, communicate them to their reps, deal with discrepancies, and then get those paid on time. Spiff automates that full process. We connect to the client’s current systems (CRM, ERP, Payment Processors, etc.) to reduce the work and amount of errors. Spiff also gives powerful, real-time data and insights to reps, managers, and executives about their commissions.
