Elixir / Ruby Lead Developer

What awaits you with us

• Architecture that holds up – you build systems from the ground up, know the internals of Phoenix and / or Rails, and don’t skimp on reviews with other senior nerds when tough decisions arise.
• Real work instead of ticket theatre – we care about clean implementation, not 300-line tickets and unnecessary protocols that just shift responsibility.
• Direct line – you talk to customers without any intermediate filter, create understanding and make decisions that will still support a product tomorrow.
• Nerd environment – we hack, we chat about our code, and we travel together to Rails World, ElixirConf or whatever else currently inspires you.
• Hardware that won’t slow you down – MacBook Pro / ThinkPad with Linux? Tell us what you need. And yes, we won’t argue about how much RAM you really need.
• Office-first with flexibility – mostly working together in the Bochum office. Whether you work a few days a week from home or occasionally from somewhere else is up to you.
• No-bullshit management – we organise ourselves with common sense. There are processes, but they serve us—not the other way around.

What we expect from you

• At least seven years of serious web development, including a few as lead, architect or mentor.
• Elixir / Phoenix and / or Ruby on Rails pro – you can learn the other stack on the job if necessary, along with any other technologies that come up. No Java or PHP, we promise.
• No frontend panic: you don’t need to know every detail of the latest frontend framework, but you shouldn’t panic when you see JavaScript code.
• Systems thinking: Domain-Driven Design, scaling, CI/CD – buzzwords are okay as long as you can place them.
• Communication: fluent German, solid English – we work with international teams.
