Hi Francesco,

I’m applying for the Senior Backend Engineer (Elixir/Phoenix) role at AndromedAI. Your focus on Elixir for building reliable, scalable systems: and the emphasis on quality, testing, and clean architecture, strongly aligns with how I like to work.

I have hands-on experience building and maintaining production systems with Elixir, Phoenix, Ecto, and PostgreSQL, focusing on clear data modeling, predictable behavior, and long-term maintainability. I’m comfortable owning backend services end to end: designing schemas, writing well-tested code, handling large data flows, and iterating quickly in small, safe cycles.

I enjoy working closely with Product and Design, especially in complex domains where data consistency, performance, and error handling matter. I take responsibility for scalability and security, and I care about writing code that other engineers can easily understand and extend. Testing is part of my daily workflow, not an afterthought.

AndromedAI’s mission(turning static eCommerce catalogs into continuously optimized, AI-driven assets) is exciting, especially at the scale you’re operating. I’d enjoy contributing to the core Phoenix codebase, shaping backend architecture, and helping the team build a reliable foundation for large-scale data processing.

I’m EU-based, comfortable with full remote work, and happy to join periodic team meetups. I’d be glad to share code samples or complete the Elixir exercise as part of the process.

Best regards,
Heorh Mykhailiuk
