Role Description We are currently in a scale-up phase whereby we currently operate in about 40 hospitals and expect to reach ~120 before end of year. This growth is also the reason why we want to expand on the capabilities of our platform and want to grow the team. We are a small, dedicated team. We don't just need a coder; we need a problem-solver who understands that a bug in our code could mean a delay in patient care. We are looking for an engineer who enjoys the 'all-round' nature of the Elixir ecosystem, someone who can jump from debugging a hardware peripheral in Nerves to refining a UI component in Svelte. Key Responsibilities - Embedded Systems: Develop and maintain firmware using Nerves to ensure our monitoring devices are resilient and secure in low-connectivity environments. - Backend Development: Build and scale robust server-side logic with Phoenix and Ecto. - Frontend Interfaces: Create reactive, intuitive user dashboards using Svelte (integrated with Phoenix via LiveView or as a standalone SPA). - System Architecture: Design fault-tolerant systems that can handle real-time medical data with 24/7 uptime. - Collaborative Growth: Participate in peer code reviews and contribute to a culture of technical excellence and empathy. Qualifications - Professional experience with Elixir and the Phoenix framework. - Proficiency in Svelte or significant experience with modern JavaScript frameworks (React/Vue) and a willingness to transition. - Familiarity with PostgreSQL and time-series data handling. - Understanding of IoT protocols and hardware-software interfacing. - Hands-on experience with Nerves or a strong background in embedded C/C++ and experience with Buildroot are a plus. - Experience with data analysis with healthcare data is a plus. Requirements - A versatile mindset: You are comfortable working across the full stack and don't mind getting your hands 'dirty' with hardware. - Technical maturity: You value simplicity, readability, and reliability over 'clever' code. - Purpose-driven focus: You are motivated by the social impact of your work and want to see your code make a tangible difference in hospitals worldwide. - Interest in what happens in the field: We are in touch with our users. - Strong communication skills: Can explain complex technical concepts to people who are less technical. Benefits - A chance to work on a unique tech stack (Elixir/Nerves/Svelte) in a high-stakes, real-world application. - A collaborative environment where your voice directly shapes the product. - The opportunity to contribute to open-source projects within the Elixir community. - A mission-led culture where we prioritize sustainable growth and human impact over profit margins. - A competitive salary.
