Job description: Starting off you’ll be working with myself to fix bugs and implement small features but as you gain experience there will be opportunities to run your own projects.

Salary range: $55k+Super (AUD)

Position on remote work: Remote available but we also have offices in Brookvale(Sydney), Gosford, and Coffs harbour if you prefer working in an office or possibly want a sea change.

You’ll be working on our lead generation platform which involves a bunch of different activities including form generation, 3rd party communication(Clients and visitors), and reporting.

Initial phone call with myself, we will chat about your interests, history, and plans. Then if all is good we’ll pay you to work with me on a small project to see how we work together. Depending on your location/schedule we may also do an in person interview similar to the phone one but face to face.

Further info

I’ll be at Elixir Melbourne August 21st and I’ll be at Elixir Sydney September 4th if you want to chat in person.

The kind of job I’d like to get if I was 10+ years younger :slight_smile:

Heh, mid developer here with ~3 years of experience. There are not that much remote Elixir job offers and those I found were mostly for senior developers. Last time it’s the only area in which I’m so unlucky. :smile:

Some time ago I have worked for someone in Australia. In first messages employer described me that such offer uses AUD (Australian Dollars) instead of USD (US Dollars). I believe that it may be worth to precise it as people outside Australia may be confused. I’m also not sure what “Super” means, but honestly 55k (assuming USD) does not look bad for me (I’m in small city, so I have small monthly costs).

Is this job only for people in Australia? Because I’d really really like to take this offer up but unfortunately I’m not based in that part of the world.

We’re building out the team but I want to take my time to ensure we get it right but we’ll be looking for non-junior devs in the future and probably international as well so I’ll keep you in mind for sure.

Yes it is AUD, thank you for pointing that out I’ve added that in above. Super is retirement savings contribution of 9.5% of your salary that we have in Australia. So you would get $55k income + a bit over $5k extra each year into an investment account.

Thank you for your interest. Right now for this role we’re only looking in Australia but that will probably change in the future as we grow the team.
