Software Engineer (Human) - Elixir

Über die Rolle

What we like

• You have proven experience in software engineering (>3 years), preferably in a fast-paced, agile environment, such as a start-up or scale-up.
• You possess deep technical knowledge and experience with Elixir, Postgres, Phoenix, LiveView, and TailwindCSS.
• You have a hands-on, can-do mentality: we are looking for team members who can and want to deliver ideas end-to-end.
• You have a demonstrated ability to rapidly adapt and improve unsuccessful attempts until the desired outcome is achieved – “this can’t be done” is not part of your vocabulary.
• You are a strong communicator – from planning meetings to code documentation.
• Your analytical skills and customer focus allow you to grasp quickly what customers actually need and how to deliver it in an optimal way.
• Finally, you are proficient in English – German skills are not necessary, but are a plus.

What you will enjoy

• You will be part of a motivated and highly qualified team with flat hierarchies and regular team events, such as after-work drinks on the roof terrace, culture nights, game nights, or our team events at the end of the month, where we celebrate successes together.
• Take advantage of discounts on various brands and trips through PepXpress and corporate benefits.
• Enjoy the obligatory fruit basket, a muesli bar, and hot and cold drinks.
• Flexible working hours, with core hours from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., varying by team.
• If you wish, work with a view of the Elbe and Hamburg’s famous sights; our engineering team meets twice a week in the office.
• Choose benefits that suit you: with €20 Benefitsy or a €20 subsidy for the Germany Ticket (Deutschlandticket).
• We support your personal development with a learning budget of €300 per year.
• Benefit from a company pension scheme (bAV) and a capital-forming benefit (VWL) of up to €100.
• If you are not yet in Hamburg, we will assist with your visa process.
