Sr Elixir Developer – MiPasa
Barcelona o Full Remote / Contractor - Freelance

Current team
We are currently a small team with big aspirations. The CEO has been a developer for over 20 years and a CEO for the last 5 years. Having a technical CEO that understands the development process and procedures as well as the ability to understand the implementation is a real strong point for the team. Our head of Engineering is a seasoned startup CTO; having built multiple small and large teams. He is also passionate about Elixir and created the Barcelona Elixir Meetup back in 2015. He was responsible for introducing Elixir to MiPasa. The rest of the team are mixed, passionate developers; Although only recently being introduced to Elixir they have taken it on with amazing success.

Journey so far
MiPasa was built out of the want to help; Help folk work with a myriad of unstructured COVID-19 data, that was published all around the world, in different formats, languages and with various update frequencies. In addition to the data aggregation, MiPasa enables collaborative research and development, by allowing the coding, modelling, analyzing, publishing, and sharing insights globally.
After a year of building the platform, based on feedback from users and hackathons, it has become apparent that we have something good, something that can be used for different types of data - not only to help with Covid; Companies would like to use this for internal data processing. Over the last few months, we have started to look at how we can let others take advantage of the system we have built.
One of the first goals was to make the codebase "onboard-able" (is that even a word?). We had more than 5 repositories and at least 3 different stacks (python, java, node), it was very difficult for developers to join the team and understand and add value. We needed to move to a core group of full-stack developers that can build at least 90% of the stack and features.
The combination of Elixir and Live View was a perfect fit. We now have one main codebase that the team is working on. Productivity and happiness have increased significantly, and we now have a codebase we can "onboard" developers onto. Oh, and it is live too!

Recruitment process

A chat with the Head of Engineering - Are you a fit for us? Are we a fit for you?
Then a technical interview - pair with the team - Would you be able to add value to them? Will they be able to add value to you?
- Bring a codebase you know - it does not matter what language it is in!
- Think of a feature to add to it.
- Explain that feature to a member of the team.
- Work with that team member to implement it.
Shortly after you will have a conversation with the Head of Engineering where they will explain the offer or the reason for the rejection.

How we work

We are an autonomous, self-organized agile team of developers. Currently a small team but that does not mean we take shortcuts. We pair constantly.
- We have a strict code review process; Code will not go into production unless another member of the team has Okey-ed it. We are a fully remote team, the whole team has many years of working remotely, well before Covid made that the norm.
Small feature-driven - Fast feedback is key to everything we do. We are constantly thinking about breaking down large deliveries into smaller (simpler) pieces that we can release to make production and get feedback from our users as quickly as possible.
Technology is key to everything we do - Everyone in the company knows this, most importantly the CEO and Head of Engineering. With whom you will have constant contact.

Who you are?

A passionate developer - you read/write and talk about code and technology in your spare time.
You love producing elegant software solutions to solve real user problems.
You care about the whole development process; from how to write clear, well tested, concise code to how it is deployed and monitored in production. The opposite of “well it works on my computer”.

What we are looking for / What you will do / What is our stack?

Our main tech stack is the PETAL stack (Phoenix, Elixir, Tailwind, Alpine.js and LiveView)
Work on the Back end with Elixir & Phoenix And would be nice if you could also Work on the frontend using a combination of LiveView, alpine.js and TailwindCSS to implement features our user’s love.
We do CI/CD (Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment) for our deploys and testing.
Work closely with the Head of Engineering and the CEO to define and implement requirements.
Coming up with your engineering solutions to our business problems is highly encouraged.
Pair with other developers to learn or teach.
We are always looking for ways to streamline and increase feedback loops to work smarter.
- Do you have an idea? We would love to hear what it is!

……….

You have experience or want to work on a full-stack application.
You are eager to learn / to teach.
We want to actively give back to the community so sharing your learnings with the Elixir community.
