About The Role
Are you ready for an incredible adventure? We're looking for a highly skilled and experienced full-stack software engineer. If you’re excited to unlock the full potential of our platform, leveraging the power of Generative AI and Elixir/Phoenix alongside some brilliant engineers, it’ll be a perfect match—we are eager to have more people who want to stay on the bleeding edge of technology!
At Workera, we want each one of us to be a product engineer, an empowered engineer who cares about the users, and that will make for a happy engineer. How do achieve that? We set up small project teams (2-3 people) following the ShapeUp methodology, deep-diving for 6 weeks to solve a certain business problem. The project team has the autonomy to solve it in the way they want - but also the responsibility to own every aspect of the feature: scoping the problem and solution, testing/dogfooding, rollout, and handling user feedback. You work closely with our Product Manager and Product Designer in doing so, as well as other team members.
When it comes to coding, you'll contribute to both sides of the WebSocket, frontend and backend. Your coding skills will shine as you write clean, modular, and testable code, making the entire Elixir community proud. You’ll get to work with people of various backgrounds and have a regular opportunity to give and receive feedback from your peers, fostering a culture of growth and collaboration.
About the team
The team you’d work in consists of five other engineers and is supported by a Product Designer, a Product Manager, and an Engineering Manager. We are all based in the EMEA region, although each one of us lives in a different country. We value deep work and async communication, and that’s why there are only a couple of regular meetings (weekly with the team for projects, another one with the company, and lastly, game-time on Fridays).
We're excited to share more details about the team's areas of focus (product-wise) as we get to know each other.
🧠When you join, here’s what you’ll do:
We want every new engineer to start smoothly and have enough time to set themselves up for long-term success.
Within 30 days, you will orient yourself as a new, by
Getting to know about the product and the people making it (engineering and other departments as well)
Understanding our development process (feature development, reviews, delivery, etc), setting up the env, and doing some smaller fixes from various product areas
If needed, upskill yourself on technologies we are using (particularly AI technologies)
Within 60 days, you will embed yourself in the normal development workflow by
Jumping in and actively participating in your first project
Deeply understanding our market position and strategy to win
Participating and clearly communicating in team discussions during the build cycle
Within 90 days, you will become a fully independent contributor who can
Run projects that have technical and product unknowns
Effectively troubleshoot external issues coming in, both on frontend and backend
Participate actively in shaping new initiatives (technical improvement or new features)
After this point, there will be opportunities for growth in many ways! Some people get invested in improving developer experience, some in infra setup, some in product enhancements, some get into cross-team initiatives, knowledge sharing, or introducing new technologies to our stack… up to you to pick the path to follow!
⚒️ We hope you have:
This role is perfect for those who thrive in an environment where they can take the wheel and drive. You know how to prioritize tasks even when there seem to be a million things on your plate. You've built software systems that scaled up, and you strike a balance between pragmatism and future-proofing your solutions. If you still need to dabble in functional programming, no worries! We're excited to help you learn and grow.
These are the things we'd like to see in you:
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science or related field
5+ years of experience in full-stack software development, preferably in a SaaS or startup environment.
Practical experience with building scalable systems, top to bottom. Ideally, it's with Elixir/Phoenix, but we find experiences with Go, Erlang or Clojure also relevant. If you don't have Elixir experience, a proven record of learning new technologies is highly appreciated.
Interest in emerging GenAI technologies and readiness to upskill yourself on it - bonus if you've already developed features based on GenAI
Experience with database technologies such as PostgreSQL
Experience delivering polished UIs, using frontend frameworks (we use mainly Phoenix, but experience with JS/TS frameworks like React, Svelte, or Vue.js can also be relevant)
Experience with GitHub and Slack for collaboration
2+ years of experience in working with a fully remote team
Ability to work independently with minimal supervision, keep stakeholders and teammates up to date
Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English.
What sets us apart? Remote work & Tech stack
We are hiring for a Level 3 (Senior) role. You should be located in the EU region (please refer to the list of countries at the top that we are able to hire in). Working hours are flexible but the general expectation is that you are online during your working day hours. Proactive communication is highly valued!
Our stack primarily consists of Elixing + PostgreSQL on the backend and Phoenix on the frontend (with some pockets of React). We use RabbitMQ as the message broker, and our platform is hosted on AWS, running on Docker containers defined in Terraform. Our platform is AI-native, and we make extensive use of LLMs in our application.
Our code lives on GitHub - in fact, GitHub and Slack is where most of the collaboration happens (almost no emails get sent around). We use ShapeUp as our software development methodology, Shortcut as our tool of choice for tickets. That's the gist of it - when we have our talk, we can go through our tech radar to share other technologies we use.
You'd be hired via an Employer of Record, but more details on that when you chat with our People team.
