Job Description

At ITRADE STEM, we help create jobs and support the future of industries like space, technology, energy, and manufacturing. We do this by creating programs that teach skills and support sustainable growth. Join us on our mission to Redefine STEM!

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.
