As a backend developer, you'll have the ability to work on large-scale systems that impacts people's day-to-day work.

Our backend is mostly built on Elixir, although we have some bits in NodeJS and Go. Our Elixir API implements GraphQL and we use MariaDB as our primary data store. Our backend also integrates with other minor services like Redis or SQS.

 

Essentials

• Ability to write and maintain high-quality and well-tested code.


• At minimum 4 hours of overlap with European/African timezones.


• Experience with building web APIs.


• We expect you to be able to start coding in Elixir since the beginning, so, at least, you must be already familiarized with the language, debugging tools, and good practices.
