Role
Who you are
- We're on the lookout for a highly skilled and experienced software engineer
- If you’re excited to unlock the full potential of our platform, leveraging the power of Generative AI and Elixir/Phoenix alongside some brilliant engineers - this could be the role for you, we are eager to have more people who want to stay on the bleeding edge of the technology!
- This role is perfect for those who thrive in an environment where they can take the wheel and drive
- You know how to prioritize tasks even when there seem to be a million things on your plate
- You've built software systems that scaled up, and you strike a balance between pragmatism and future-proofing your solutions
- 5+ years of experience in fullstack software development, preferably in a SaaS or startup environment, with particular focus on the backend
- Practical experience with building scalable systems, top to bottom. Ideally, with Elixir/Phoenix/PostgreSQL, integrating with 3rd party APIs
- Practical day-to-day experience using AI tools for enhancing personal productivity (such as Claude Code) - bonus if you've already developed user-facing features that use GenAI under the hood (we'd love to hear about those!)
- A proven record of delivering a project that involves complex technical decision-making on the data layer (database modeling, optimizations, or refactoring, on a large scale), ensuring high performance at peak load times
- Strong user / customer orientation, understanding and optimizing user flows
- Ability and willingness to contribute also on the frontend (we use mainly Phoenix + React)
- Experience with GitHub and Slack for collaboration
- 2+ years of experience working with a fully remote team
- Ability to work independently with minimal supervision, keep stakeholders and teammates up to date
- Interest in emerging GenAI technologies and willingness to prototype with them, to discover the cutting edge of what's possible
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science or related field
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English
What the job involves
- At Workera, we want each one of us to be a product engineer, an empowered engineer who cares about the users, and that will make for a happy engineer
- We set up small project teams (2-3 people) deep-diving a couple of weeks or months to address a certain problem space
- The project team has the autonomy to solve it in the way they want - but also the responsibility to own every aspect of the feature: scoping the problem and solution, prototyping, testing/dogfooding, rollout, and handling user feedback
- You work closely with our product manager and product designer in doing so, as well as other (non-tech) colleagues
Our take
Companies currently struggle to find a learning platform that can upskill and reskill their talent quickly, in accordance with the fast development of the technology used in different key roles such as data science, machine learning, and artificial intelligence.
Workera is an upskilling startup that helps companies evaluate their data and AI capabilities and provide their employees with personalized learning plans to keep them updated on the latest technologies and practices. The company uses AI and machine learning to evaluate the current skillsets within a company and to design a learning plan that will help businesses' workforce reach a particular level of understanding of new technology.
Although Workera is an early-stage ed-tech startup, it is already working with Fortune 500 companies, including Siemens Energy. To help capitalize on the increasing budgets companies are extending to staff skill development, Workera has recently raised $23.5m, which will be invested in expanding its product offerings and growing the size of its developer team.
