• Participate in decision-making processes to drive technical improvements and best practices.

Requirements

• 3+ years of Elixir development experience (OTP and Phoenix framework).
• Experience working on high-traffic, highly concurrent applications.
• Strong understanding of HTTP, REST APIs, and backend architecture.
• Ability to make technical trade-offs and contribute to key engineering decisions.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively across teams.
