- Be involved in important product decisions and work closely with the whole team to deliver top-notch Apps.
- Be active in our internal open source communities, and be an ambassador for Elixir within the company.
Our team is looking for someone who is pragmatic, applies the best software engineering principles to build simple abstractions for complex problems, and who enjoys working in an agile environment.
