Deep expertise in at least one major programming language and ecosystem is essential, along with broad knowledge across multiple languages, frameworks, and architectural patterns. Experience designing and operating distributed systems at scale is required, including understanding of microservices, event-driven architectures, and cloud-native patterns.

System Design & Architecture Demonstrated experience architecting large-scale systems that handle significant traffic, data volumes, or complexity is crucial. This includes expertise in areas such as API design, data modeling, system integration, performance optimization, and reliability engineering.

• Tailwind for styling, default esbuild for js

• Distributed elixir with libcluster (k8s adapter)

• Liveview tests, wallaby for e2e tests when js is involved

• Hammox for testing. Only a few mocks for the very boundaries of the app (MockHTTP, MockTime, etc)

• We use the adapter pattern a lot. It’s really easy to add new integrations.

• Absinthe for GraphQL (for mobile apps)
