Who you are
You’re a full-stack engineer with experience developing customer-facing, web-based software. You care about UX and can take a feature from concept to reality. You’re not scared of the command line or containerized cloud deployments. You care about building a sustainable codebase and strive to leave things better than you found them.
What you’ll do as a Full-stack Engineer at Bramble
You’ll be working in our fully-remote team developing our core product. You’ll build an intimate understanding of our industry and our user base. You’ll work with highly-qualified team members to develop new features, seek feedback from users, and launch them to everyone. As one of our early engineers, you will be instrumental in architectural and technological decisions, with a lot of room to grow both individually and as a team.

- Web application development with Elixir, specifically the Phoenix framework and relational database interaction through Ecto
- Elixir language, platform and ecosystem, specifically a thorough understanding of functional programming, data structures, OTP, and release management
- A deep understanding of the HTTP protocol and the behavior of production web services
- Ability to envision the flow of information from a user perspective and design systems with the user in mind
- Able to work autonomously and self-manage.
- Fluent in English. You should be able to communicate with the rest of the team, both synchronously and asynchronously.

- Building performant web UI’s with Phoenix LiveView or similar technologies
- Hands-on implementation of OLAP systems.
