You'll collaborate closely with product managers, data scientists, AI engineers, and fellow software engineers to design and deliver solutions that directly impact our customers and business.

This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who enjoys solving challenging technical problems, improving system performance, and helping shape engineering practices in a fast-moving environment.

What You'll Do

• Design, build, and maintain scalable backend services using Elixir and Phoenix.

• Develop highly available APIs and distributed systems that power critical platform functionality.

• Build and optimize data pipelines, workflows, and background job processing systems.

• Collaborate with AI, Data Science, and Product teams to bring intelligent automation capabilities into production.

• Improve system observability, monitoring, reliability, and operational excellence.

• Participate in architectural discussions and influence technical direction across the platform.

• Help establish engineering best practices around testing, deployment, performance, and maintainability.

• Mentor engineers and contribute to a collaborative, high-performing engineering culture.

• Leverage AI-assisted development tools to improve productivity, quality, and delivery velocity.
