Company mission

To help humanity achieve its fullest potential.

Role

Who you are

  • 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, it’ll be a perfect match—we are eager to have more people who want to stay on the bleeding edge of 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
  • If you still need to dabble in functional programming, no worries
  • We're excited to help you learn and grow
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science or related field
  • 5+ years of experience in full-stack software development, preferably in a SaaS or startup environment
  • Practical experience with building scalable systems, top to bottom
  • Ideally, it's with Elixir/Phoenix, but we find experiences with Go, Erlang or Clojure also relevant
  • If you don't have Elixir experience, a proven record of learning new technologies is highly appreciated
  • Interest in emerging GenAI technologies and readiness to upskill yourself on it - bonus if you've already developed features based on GenAI
  • Experience with database technologies such as PostgreSQL
  • Experience delivering polished UIs, using frontend frameworks (we use mainly Phoenix, but experience with JS/TS frameworks like React, Svelte, or Vue.js can also be relevant)
  • Experience with GitHub and Slack for collaboration
  • 2+ years of experience in working with a fully remote team
  • Ability to work independently with minimal supervision, keep stakeholders and teammates up to date
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English

What the job involves

  • We're looking for a highly skilled and experienced full-stack software engineer
  • When it comes to coding, you'll contribute to both sides of the WebSocket, frontend and backend
  • Your coding skills will shine as you write clean, modular, and testable code, making the entire Elixir community proud
  • You’ll get to work with people of various backgrounds and have a regular opportunity to give and receive feedback from your peers, fostering a culture of growth and collaboration
  • The team you’d work in consists of five other engineers and is supported by a Product Designer, a Product Manager, and an Engineering Manager
  • We are all based in the EMEA region, although each one of us lives in a different country
  • We value deep work and async communication, and that’s why there are only a couple of regular meetings (weekly with the team for projects, another one with the company, and lastly, game-time on Fridays)
  • We're excited to share more details about the team's areas of focus (product-wise) as we get to know each other
  • We want every new engineer to start smoothly and have enough time to set themselves up for long-term success
  • Within 30 days, you will orient yourself as a new, by
  • Getting to know about the product and the people making it (engineering and other departments as well)
  • Understanding our development process (feature development, reviews, delivery, etc), setting up the env, and doing some smaller fixes from various product areas
  • If needed, upskill yourself on technologies we are using (particularly AI technologies)
  • Within 60 days, you will embed yourself in the normal development workflow by
  • Jumping in and actively participating in your first project
  • Deeply understanding our market position and strategy to win
  • Participating and clearly communicating in team discussions during the build cycle
  • Within 90 days, you will become a fully independent contributor who can
  • Run projects that have technical and product unknowns
  • Effectively troubleshoot external issues coming in, both on frontend and backend
  • Participate actively in shaping new initiatives (technical improvement or new features)
  • After this point, there will be opportunities for growth in many ways
  • Some people get invested in improving developer experience, some in infra setup, some in product enhancements, some get into cross-team initiatives, knowledge sharing, or introducing new technologies to our stack… up to you to pick the path to follow!
  • Working hours are flexible but the general expectation is that you are online during your working day hours. Proactive communication is highly valued!

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.
