Full Stack Developer - Baumann Paper, Lexington, Kentucky USA

Baumann Paper is looking for a full stack developer to help us transition our Ruby on Rails system to Elixir/Phoenix.

My name is Marli and I run our distribution company. I wrote our system in Ruby on Rails starting back in 2010 and I am looking for someone to partner with me to help me migrate and upgrade our system to Elixir. I’m just starting to learn Elixir myself and am looking for someone to help me down this path.

Ideally I’d like to find someone who has managed other devs and has experience launching Elixir projects in production. I could see where we’d need to hire additional developers to work on all these tasks.

Goals: to modularize and future-proof our systems.

This job will include remote work, but I really need someone that is able to come on site from time to time which is why I’m trying to limit the scope to Kentucky.

My grandfather started the company 74 years ago and I’m helping to take us to the next level by integrating new tech on a daily basis.

FWIW Bauman is a great company, I previously worked with Marli on a RoR project. Glad to see the switch to Phoenix!

I would love to help, but unfortunately I don’t know the first thing about migrating over from Rails. I do know, however, that there is a great Elixir book from Prag Prog on this very topic: From Ruby to Elixir: Unleash the Full Potential of Functional Programming by Stephen Bussey

Thanks! I will check that out
