About the job

Job title: Senior Elixir Engineer
Job description: We’re looking for a Senior Elixir Engineer who enjoys solving difficult technical problems and wants to build software with real-world impact. This isn’t another CRUD SaaS platform. The software you build will help coast guards, maritime authorities and governments understand what’s happening across some of the world’s busiest waterways.

Elixir and OTP
Phoenix and LiveView
Designing distributed systems
Building APIs and backend services
Distributed relational and/or OLAP databases
Containerised applications and modern deployment practices
Cloud and on-premises platforms
Designing maintainable software that evolves over time
Performance profiling

Experience with geospatial systems, MapLibre or PostGIS would be highly advantageous, but isn’t essential.

What the successful job applicant will be working on: You’ll be working on distributed, event-driven systems that ingest, process and visualise live data from thousands of assets across the globe. One day you’ll be designing resilient OTP services processing streaming telemetry, the next you’ll be building highly interactive LiveView applications or helping shape the architecture behind the next generation of our platform.
