Just a quick note that this position is still open; we are pipelining candidates and interviewing for our several software developer roles. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to message me or get in touch!

Love these positions when a elixir developer is assumed to know and work with react and typescript.

As a question, do you get many candidates with these skills, because it is unclear to me how someone writing elixir should know typescript too. I know that web servers are popular currently, however elixir is not used only for designing backend apis.

Does this mean people in Toronto can be fully remote too or only Hybrid? If the latter it seems a bit unfair to give different privileges based on location.

@D4no0 Thank you for your inquiry. We are hiring for several service and feature teams at the moment. This is a general JD to capture technologies across the board. That being said, although Elixir is heavily utilized for our Sportsbook and iCasino platforms, we take a technology agnostic approach to hiring are always open to other frameworks and stacks as long as candidates are passionate about functional programming and are willing to learn/work with Elixir. Cheers!

Thank you for your question @joey_the_snake. We have not yet implemented a hybrid policy for our local GTA employees. Our employees in Toronto come to the office as they please, and as needed (i.e., they come for company, team and tech events among others).
