Job Overview:

We're seeking a Lead Elixir Platform Engineer to join a groundbreaking blockchain technology company in a fully remote role (EMEA time zone). This opportunity allows you to fully immerse yourself in the dynamic world of Web3 and help us explore new possibilities.

As a crucial part of our engineering team, you'll be instrumental in refining and scaling our state-of-the-art blockchain explorer platform. You'll work closely with the CTO and a team of skilled engineers, tackling high-performance crypto and trading applications head-on.

If you're passionate about building robust blockchain solutions and thrive on tackling tough challenges, this is your chance to make a real impact in the Web3 arena. Step up and help shape the future with us!

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Lead development and scaling of the BlockScout-based blockchain explorer platform
• Design and implement new blockchain features while optimizing platform performance
• Build high-quality, scalable solutions using Elixir and Phoenix framework
• Foster technical collaboration with blockchain engineers for protocol and API integration
• Optimize and maintain platform performance under high-traffic conditions
• Establish and maintain best practices for code quality and documentation
• Play a key role in architectural planning and strategic technical decisions

REQUIREMENTS:

• Strong background in distributed systems and blockchain technology
• Experience with EVM-compatible chains and Web3 infrastructure
• Track record of contributions to open-source projects in the Elixir ecosystem
• Experience with real-time data processing and high-throughput systems
• Familiarity with modern DevOps practices (Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD)
• Knowledge of front-end technologies (React, Vue.js) for full-stack development
• Understanding of cryptography and blockchain consensus mechanisms
• Experience with monitoring tools (Prometheus, Grafana) and performance optimization

Our client's team operates at a dynamic pace. As this is not a typical 9-5 role, we're looking for an exceptional front-end engineer to create, own, and deliver world-class products alongside a skilled and close-knit team.

To apply, please share your portfolio, GitHub profile, or examples of past work - particularly real-time applications, dashboards, or security/finance-related projects.
