About the role

We are looking for an Elixir Engineer to build, maintain, and improve a growing software platform as an embedded member of the team.

The mandatory requirements are 2+ years of professional software development experience, strong hands-on experience with Elixir and/or Erlang, a solid grasp of functional programming principles, experience with PostgreSQL, and strong written and verbal English communication skills.

What you will do

  • Build, maintain, and improve Bright Harbor’s software platform using Elixir.
  • Work across different areas of the application as part of a small engineering team.
  • Collaborate closely with product managers to understand user problems and translate them into effective technical solutions.
  • Participate in technical and product discussions and contribute to implementation decisions.
  • Take ownership of development work from requirements and problem definition through implementation and delivery.
  • Build and maintain integrations with internal and external services and APIs.
  • Work with PostgreSQL and the application’s data layer.
  • Write reliable, maintainable, well-tested production code.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve technical issues across the application.
  • Contribute to the evolution of the platform and engineering practices as the product grows.
  • Communicate progress, technical considerations, tradeoffs, and blockers clearly with the broader team.
  • Work effectively in an environment where priorities and responsibilities may evolve as the company grows.

Must haves

  • 2+ years of professional software development experience.
  • Strong hands-on experience with Elixir and/or Erlang.
  • Strong understanding of functional programming principles.
  • Professional experience building and maintaining production web applications.
  • Experience working with PostgreSQL or similar relational databases.
  • Experience designing, consuming, or maintaining APIs and service integrations.
  • Strong understanding of software engineering fundamentals and modern development practices.
  • Ability to independently own and deliver engineering tasks.
  • Strong problem-solving and troubleshooting skills.
  • Comfortable working across different areas of a product rather than within a narrowly specialized role.
  • Experience collaborating closely with product managers and other non-engineering stakeholders.
  • Ability to understand user problems and incorporate that context into technical decisions.
  • Comfortable working in a small, distributed engineering team.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills in English.
  • Availability for a full-time engagement.
  • Based in Latin America with strong working-hour overlap with the team in Austin, Texas.
  • Ability to occasionally travel to the United States if required.

Nice to haves

  • Experience with Phoenix LiveView.
  • Experience with Fly.io.
  • Experience with AWS, particularly migrations or applications transitioning from another hosting platform to AWS.
  • Experience with cloud infrastructure, deployment, or production operations.
  • Experience with application security or compliance-oriented environments.
  • Experience with Event Sourcing.
  • Experience using AI-assisted development tools such as Codex, Claude Code, or similar tools.
  • Experience working in early-stage companies or small engineering teams where engineers take broad ownership.

Perks

  • Growth without limits: build your skills through mentorship, internal TechTalks, challenging projects, and a dedicated annual learning budget
  • Competitive compensation: get recognition that reflects your skills and impact, with regular performance and compensation reviews
  • Flexibility: work 100% remotely with flexible hours that support focus, autonomy, and a healthy work rhythm
  • Meaningful, modern projects: build impactful products using modern technologies alongside global teams and leading brands
  • Collaborative culture: join a supportive environment with zero micromanagement where ideas are welcomed and contributions are recognized

FAQ

Have any questions?

What is the work format and schedule?

We are a remote-first company, so all our positions are remote. Schedules are flexible, but the main requirement is to have an overlap with your client’s schedule to ensure smooth collaboration. Specific details depend on the project and are discussed during the interview process.

What level of English is required?

We look for Upper-Intermediate (B2) proficiency or higher. Since you will be collaborating with international teams and global clients (including Fortune 500 companies), English is a part of your daily work.

Does AgileEngine provide work equipment?

It depends on your location. We provide equipment in Ukraine, Poland, Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, Brazil, Guatemala, Portugal, Spain, and India. In the USA, equipment is usually provided by the client; otherwise, you will be expected to use your own setup.

What opportunities for professional growth do you offer?

We support continuous growth through personalized development paths tailored to each expert. Also, you can expect:

  • An annual learning and development budget
  • Internal workshops, tech talks, and mentorship programs
  • Opportunities to switch projects or grow into new roles over time

What does a typical team look like, and what tools do you use?

Teams vary by project, but you’ll usually work with a mix of experts across different fields, along with a delivery or project manager who supports collaboration and onboarding.

For day-to-day work, teams commonly use tools like Jira and Google Workspace, along with communication platforms such as Google Chat. Depending on the client, you may also work with Slack, Confluence, Notion, or similar tools.
