Introductory paragraph
A new position has been opened at a company I’ve joined recently, where I’m developing Elixir full-time. This is posted on Stack Overlow but the hiring manager agreed we should cross-post it on this forum as well.
Smart Metals Recycling is a startup in the IT Asset Disposition industry. We help large corporations deal with their end-of-life electronics in environmentally and financially responsible ways.
We are in a stage of rapid growth. Our operations in North Carolina (opened in 2014) is scaling fast and we’ve expanded to a second location in Sacramento, CA. This rapid growth means we are generating data like never before. Finding actionable insights in this data is one of the keys to us becoming leaders in the e-recycling industry.
We’ve built a web platform in-house for this purpose, using the Phoenix Framework and Elixir. This webapp is at the core of our day-to-day operations. It also helps us generate valuable insights for our clients, informing the design and manufacturing of future electronics. We are currently looking for a Senior Full-Stack Developer to help us grow this app further.
About us
My name: Jeremy Huffman
My position: Lead Software Developer
Company name: Smart Metals Recycling
Website: http://www.smartmetalsrecycling.com/
The tech teams operates out of a co-working space in downtown Charlotte, NC, separate from the company’s main operations in Statesville, NC and second warehouse near Oakland, CA.
The foundation of our webapp was designed and built by Thoughtbot. And we’ve adopted a lot of our their practices to foster creativity and collaboration. For instance, we like to design the UX first and then build the backend to fit the vision. We also follow Test-Driven Development, do code-reviews on everything pushed to master and have a workflow loosely based on AGILE.
We encourage spending time in the office everyday and working face-to-face with the rest of the team. We have daily standups to discuss progress and next steps. We also have weekly retros to discuss weekly progress and address concerns moving forward.
Every Friday is investment day, where the team works on side-projects/crazy ideas for the personal growth and development of each member on the team. This is also the time to hack on ambitious projects and test new technologies.
