The Senior Software Engineer (Elixir) will own customer and business outcomes, working closely with teams to design, ship, and iterate on solutions while mentoring others and ensuring high-quality technical decisions are made.
Responsibilities
- Own outcomes end-to-end, wherever you're deployed. Frame the problem, design it, ship it, own the metric. Descope to the cheapest version that works. Prototype in days
- Stay close to customers. Shadow sales and support, join advisory conversations, and let customer reality drive technical decisions. Propose what to build, defer, and kill
- Own your domain and share it. Its interfaces, reliability, performance, and security, including on-call for the systems you own. Consent and PII handling are central to customer trust. Bring patterns, tooling, and hard-won context back to the wider org rather than hoarding them
- Architect AI-driven leverage. Build AI-assisted workflows that hold up, evolve the team's practices as tooling changes, and look for product wins AI unlocks (smarter routing, anomaly detection, and more)
- Multiply the teams you touch. Mentor on judgment and product sense, not just syntax. Write decision memos and ADRs. Enable Product and Design to self-serve
Skills
- A track record of shipping something end-to-end that you cared about and owning the outcome, not just the code
- Product judgment: pushing back on a bad spec, proposing the cheapest experiment, and descoping well
- Comfort embedding with unfamiliar teams and codebases, getting productive fast, and leaving them better than you found them
- Deep full-stack expertise: Elixir, Vue 3 / Nuxt, Postgres at scale, AWS (Kubernetes a plus). Node.js a bonus
- Strong systems design judgment in ambiguous contexts, and a security mindset aligned with sensitive consumer data and compliance
- Fluency reading AI output critically and building your own AI-assisted workflows
- Clear written and verbal communication. Mentorship experience. 5-10% travel
