We are looking for a high-ownership Senior Software Engineer who thrives on technical variety. While our core needs involve Elixir or Ruby, we strongly value architectural thinking with drive and ability to learn fast over language loyalty. You should be prepared to work across different stacks, selecting and mastering the best tool for the challenge at hand.
- Experience: 5+ years of professional development with a proven track record of leading complex projects and owning system outcomes.
- System Design: Demonstrable expertise in building and maintaining scalable, highly available, and reliable distributed systems.
- Technical Foundation: Strong mastery of design principles and patterns, and containerized cloud infrastructure (AWS).
- Engineering Excellence: Committed to TDD, CI/CD best practices, and the deliberate use of AI development tools (e.g., Claude Code) while maintaining full accountability for code quality.
Special skills and experience that can make you an especially strong team member

- Real-Time Media: Development of streaming applications (e.g., WebRTC).

- Architecture: Familiarity with event-driven architecture.
No problem if you miss these qualifications. If you find it interesting to learn them, do still apply.
