Job Description
Senior Elixir Engineer – Contract
DockYard, Inc.
• Ship features across an established Elixir/Phoenix + React codebase, partnering with in-house engineers and following existing patterns and architecture. • Help extend core device-management workflows (agent install, device inventory, device inspection, software inventory/updates, remote script execution). • Build out and iterate on agentic workflows / agent-based features using the existing approach/patterns already in place. • Expand a customer-facing enterprise REST API, including consistent data shapes across resources, endpoint conventions, and “enterprise-ready” concerns like OAuth, scoping, and versioning. • Deliver scoped work as a “capacity play” (turning through well-defined tickets) while reducing integration risk and keeping quality high. • Deliver clean, testable, and maintainable code using modern best practices and technologies. • Assist in project scoping, estimation, and planning activities. • Participate actively in code reviews, pair programming, and knowledge-sharing practices.
Job Requirements
- Significant, hands-on experience shipping production systems with Elixir + Phoenix
- Full-stack comfort working in a Phoenix backend + React frontend environment
- Strong REST API fundamentals for enterprise use cases: OAuth , token/scopes/permissions modeling, versioning strategies, and consistent resource/data conventions
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
Benefits
- Health insurance
- Flexible work hours
- Professional development opportunities
