Remote Frontend Jobs

The Driftrock engineering team is looking for a software engineer to grow our team. We use a pragmatic Elixir + LiveView stack to solve real-world marketing challenges for our B2B customers. We use XP, TDD, and Pair Programming to get high-quality work into production several times a day.

Responsibilities

• Be passionate about product and technology, asking questions around when working on features. You ll be expected to challenge our roadmap and help us figure out the 'how' and 'why' behind our core product and new features
• Be an active member of our engineering team, working together with the other developers helping them grow their skills in a productive and challenging environment
• Have a strong data-driven mindset when assessing the value that our work has for customers

You will be joining a growing product team, with engineers who are deeply passionate about technology and the way they work, and you will have a chance to make a huge impact on the culture and practices of the team, and the wider company.

We believe in continuous improvement and we are constantly optimising how we work and communicate.

We plan our work weekly, using a lean approach (a mixture of Kanban and eXtreme Programming). This way we are able to deploy several times a day, allowing us to have a short feedback cycle on our changes.

We have a data-driven mindset and we use data to drive decisions on everything from user story prioritisation to company strategy.

We also strongly believe in observability and keeping a close eye on how our product is behaving.

Our platform is made of multiple services built in Elixir, talking to each other via APIs and RabbitMQ and storing data in Postgresql and Redis. All services are hosted on Kubernetes and Google Cloud.

We are working on a project to introduce Lead qualification through various communication channels and tracking everything in our Single Customer View. Together with the growing volume of data that we process for our customers this is a great opportunity for us to improve and optimize parts of our event driven architecture to be able to process existing and planned workloads without any issues. We are also working on improving our style guide, rebranding and getting an amazing UX working with LiveView.

Requirements

• You should have 3+ years of strong backend experience and some experience with basic web development languages/frameworks (we use LiveView and SSR with TailwindCSS). We require either professional experience in Elixir or a similar language with a strong drive to learn Elixir
• You should demonstrate a desire to continuously learn to improve your technical, communication and other soft skills.
• You value and enjoy working in a small team, collaborating closely with other engineers as well as members of other teams.
• You can provide new and diverse viewpoints for our technical and product discussions and be comfortable making technical decisions.
• You are interested in, and have a view on agile practices such as continuous delivery, TDD, pair programming, code reviews and retrospectives.
• You should have some experience mentoring engineers and a view on how to create a productive team.
• You are keen to ensure there is a high standard of quality and security in the software we produce as a team.
• You can work in the same timezone as the rest of the team (flexible).
