What You Will Do

• Build and maintain a high-quality, maintainable codebase written in Elixir with Phoenix, LiveView, TailwindCSS, and daisyUI, focusing on scalability, reliability, and developer happiness.
• Collaborate closely with the Product, Design, and Engineering teams to find smart solutions that balance speed, quality, and simplicity, promoting a culture of innovation and continuous improvement.
• Take ownership of the privacy and security aspects of the product from the outset, ensuring compliance with GDPR and implementing robust encryption, data separation, and security measures.
• Contribute ideas to improve the development process, stack, and team culture, fostering an environment of learning, growth, and collaboration.
• Engage in prototyping early and often, encouraging experimentation and learning from failed experiments to drive product evolution.
• Work on shaping the architecture for reliability, scalability, and long-term sustainability, considering the needs of both current and future users.
• Develop a clean, maintainable, and tested codebase that adheres to the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship.
• Participate in team discussions and decision-making processes, bringing your expertise and perspective to the table to drive informed decisions.
• Stay updated with the latest trends and advancements in Elixir, Phoenix, and related technologies, applying this knowledge to continuously improve the product and processes.

What We Are Looking For

• Several years of professional experience as a Fullstack Engineer, with a strong preference for those with Elixir or Ruby experience.
• A deep care for code quality, balanced with pragmatism and craftsmanship, understanding that perfection is not the goal but rather a high-quality solution that meets the needs of users.
• Experience working in small, empowered teams where you can shape not just the product but also how it’s built, demonstrating autonomy, initiative, and a collaborative mindset.
• A product mindset, with the ability to explore unclear requirements instead of waiting for perfect specifications, showing proactive problem-solving skills.
• Understanding of the basics of GDPR and secure software design, recognizing the importance of privacy and security in product development.
• Curiosity, reflectiveness, and a joy for learning, including from failed experiments, demonstrating a growth mindset and resilience.
• Professional-level English is required; German is a plus, as it may facilitate better communication with certain stakeholders.
• Ability to work remotely, with a preference for those who can also work hybrid in Berlin, where the product and design team is based.

Nice to Have

• Experience handling sensitive data, ideally health-related data, and understanding the unique challenges and responsibilities that come with it.
• Solid understanding of encryption, key management, and data privacy, with the ability to apply this knowledge in real-world scenarios.
• Familiarity with DevOps and hosting environments, contributing to the efficiency and reliability of the product’s infrastructure.
• Knowledge of Shape Up as an outcome-driven, autonomy-based approach for agile software development, aligning with the company’s values of empowerment and innovation.
