How popular are Elixir development jobs in your country?

That still seems to be the best way to work in Elixir full-time. I’m doing the same. The book Adopting Elixir might be of help here.

I’m prob going to have to start a company if I ever want a Elixir job.

Sometimes it takes time - it takes early adopters to act first… maybe you can be one in your country?

I’m actually surprised at how popular Elixir is here in the UK, quite a bit more than I thought it would be. That could well be because Erlang has been pretty popular here too (perhaps because of Erlang Solutions, Robert, Joe and Mike’s links to the UK? )

Elixir also seems to be pretty popular in many other countries too. I think maybe we need to bump this poll for all our newbies:

I know only of one company in Norway which has mentioned Elixir in their job listings. There are a couple of large companies using Erlang.

It’s hard to say since I’m in the middle of it, but there is a company called Quanterall here in Bulgaria that works (only?) with Elixir.

Creative Assembly / SEGA Sofia works with Erlang and might switch to Elixir! I’m not sure. I’m not there anymore so I’m guessing they’re less inclined to switch now.

By the way, here are some resources for finding Elixir jobs in your country.

I am from Canada, and I have not seen any Elixir jobs here, not even in Vancouver which tends to catch trends from Seattle. It’s the dark ages up here. Sigh.

Oh, how I miss Canada! I used to live in Montréal for ~4 years. I don’t know about Vancouver, but the tech scene was booming in Montréal; especially the games industry, where I worked. Have you considered other parts of Canada as an option? I’d be surprised if there were no Elixir jobs there.

Here in the Chicago area there are 10+ companies using Elixir. Many of them are in advanced transition state from a prior language to Elixir.

I introduced Elixir at Dscout about three years ago and it has proven helpful in attracting new devs.

In my Country, Honduras, there are cero companies using it and haven’t heard anyone using it as well.

I created a Meetup and held one about a year ago and planning for the next one mid October.

If anyone is interested on giving a small introduction of Elixir remotely, send me a private message. And thanks in advance.

Best regards,
