• Continuously optimize performance, accessibility, and maintainability across systems.
  
  

Engineering Leadership & Delivery

• Lead full stack engineering efforts across active projects, from discovery to production.
• Collaborate with designers, product managers, and engineers to align technical direction and implementation plans.
• Conduct code reviews and mentor team members on Elixir, front-end frameworks, and full stack best practices.
• Ensure solutions are testable, observable, and aligned with CI/CD pipelines and deployment standards.
  
  

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Contribute to API design and backend/frontend integration strategies.
• Help define and maintain coding standards, architecture patterns, and documentation practices.
• Participate in sprint planning, QA reviews, and issue resolution alongside project stakeholders.
• Work within agile processes to meet delivery timelines without compromising quality or stability.
  
  

Offshore Team Collaboration

• Coordinate with offshore team members to ensure consistent delivery and high code quality.
• Share architectural guidance, codebase documentation, and technical artifacts across distributed teams.
• Support time zone-aware collaboration and unblock developers as needed to maintain momentum.
  
  

Platform & Process Excellence

• Evaluate and integrate emerging tools, frameworks, and patterns in Elixir and JavaScript ecosystems.
• Ensure applications meet accessibility, performance, and security standards.
• Support observability, crash reporting, and production diagnostics with appropriate tooling.
• Drive continuous improvement in full stack engineering practices, toolchains, and team performance.
  
  

Required Skills & Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in computer science, Engineering, or equivalent experience.
• 5+ years of experience in full stack development, including 2+ years in senior/lead roles.
• Deep expertise in Elixir, Phoenix, and OTP, with a strong understanding of functional programming.
• Proficient in Vue.js and React, including component-based architecture and modern front-end tooling.
• Experience designing and consuming RESTful and/or GraphQL APIs.
• Strong understanding of relational databases (PostgreSQL preferred).
• Familiarity with Git-based workflows, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud deployment (e.g., AWS, GCP).
• Upper-Intermediate English (written and spoken) for effective cross-functional communication.
  
  

Nice to Have

• Experience with LiveView, Surface, or real-time systems.
• Familiarity with GraphQL, front-end state management (e.g., Pinia, Redux), or serverless patterns.
• Experience building full-stack applications with Elixir and the Phoenix framework.
• Experience with containerization (Docker), infrastructure-as-code, or Kubernetes.
• Contributions to open-source projects or active technical blog/GitHub profile.
• Background in building SaaS platforms or real-time data applications.
  
  

Personal Competencies

• Accountability – Owns full stack delivery with quality, reliability, and attention to detail.
• Adaptability – Thrives in dynamic, fast-paced client environments.
• Collaboration – Builds strong partnerships across teams and time zones.
• Execution-Focused – Delivers maintainable, scalable solutions without overengineering.
