About the job
Job title: Senior Elixir Engineer
Job description:
You will be one of the first key members of the Hawku team.
You will be working with a technical, data-driven and product-focused team. The founder is an Elixir developer and MBA with 20+ years of experience starting and growing companies.
You will be working on developing the central Hawku marketplace web app, linking together game and meta-verse specific data with for sale and bid listings - all in Elixir.
As a charter member of the team you will have the opportunity to not just develop products but also shape the future of the company and an entire industry.
This is a very unique opportunity to get in very early in a new fully-remote venture building a really fun product with huge growth potential.
Salary range: Market Rate depending on experience. Equity and benefits included.
Position on remote work: Company is remote. Must have at least 3 hours in sync with PST work hours.
Qualifications or experience required:
- You have 4+ years of software engineering experience ideally with at least one Elixir project. Otherwise you have ample experience in Ruby or Python.
- You are customer focused - you are motivated by how to best solve customer’s problems - not just the hottest tech. You get excited seeing customers jump up and down for joy when talking about your products.
- You ideally have experience in a start-up environment
- You have an understanding of the full software development lifecycle
- You love intellectual challenges and are intellectually curious.
- You believe in Elixir and want to help grow the Elixir ecosystem by (among other things) producing and open-sourcing web3 tooling for Elixir.
- You enjoy companies that are scrappy, and are able to do more than less.
- You like data.
- You are goal oriented and tend to thrive on execution (i.e. you get stuff done.)
- You like things that are simple over complicated
- You have a witty sense of humor (or at least can tolerate bad puns).
The company works in a PETAL framework (Phoenix, Elixir, Tailwind, Alpine, Liveview) with some web3 add-ons in Typescript.
Elixir experience is preferred but the language is easy to learn and love. Experience in Python or Ruby with a desire to learn Elixir is also acceptable.
