## About the Role

* A solid foundation in computer science fundamentals, whether from a CS degree or equivalent demonstrable grounding in data structures, algorithms, complexity and how systems work under the hood.
 * Some professional backend experience, ideally with Elixir or a similar language, and a genuine drive to deepen your Elixir skills.
 * Some experience with web development, ideally server-rendered UI (we use LiveView with TailwindCSS).
 * A habit of writing tested, maintainable code, and an interest in practices such as continuous delivery, TDD, pairing, code review and retrospectives.
 * A data-driven mindset: you care whether the work genuinely helps customers, not just whether it ships.
 * The judgement to use AI tools well: you use them to go faster, and your CS grounding means you can evaluate what they produce and steer away from suboptimal solutions rather than taking the output on faith.
 * A desire to keep learning and growing, and to collaborate closely in a small team.

Bonus points

 * Production experience with Elixir, Erlang/OTP, Phoenix or LiveView.
 * A background in Ruby or another functional language.
 * Experience with event-driven systems, RabbitMQ, PostgreSQL or Redis.
 * Exposure to Kubernetes or Google Cloud.
