Senior Full-stack Elixir Engineer

Who We Are

Bramble is an enterprise SaaS platform that provides operational insight into people and process performance. We achieve this through a data-driven focus on results - not employee surveillance.

We're a remote team with members across the USA, EU, Asia and Australia. You can work from anywhere, though we have a small office in Makati for occasional collaboration.

You'll work directly with our founders and engineering team to build and scale our SaaS platform. We value well-tested, clean code and expect our engineers to take ownership of their work - from initial design through deployment and production support.

What We Offer

• Flexible schedule with limited collaboration hours (overlap with EU/AU core hours, occasional US-East availability)
• Competitive salary commensurate with experience
• Remote-first, meeting-light, async-first environment
• Significant autonomy and direct founder collaboration

Our Stack

• Backend: Elixir, Erlang/OTP, Phoenix, PostgreSQL, Oban, ETL
• Frontend: TailwindCSS, LiveView, HEEX, TypeScript
• Infrastructure: AWS (EKS, RDS, S3, SQS), Pulumi, Dagger

What You'll Do

• Design and deliver complex features spanning multiple contexts; own critical components from conception through production
• Write exemplary, well-tested code that serves as a reference for the team
• Optimise performance across application, database, and infrastructure layers
• Design and maintain REST APIs; ensure security and compliance requirements are met
• Identify technical debt and advocate for strategic improvements
• Contribute to architectural decisions; mentor engineers through code review and pairing
• Participate in on-call, incident response, and customer conversations
• Leverage AI assistants effectively to accelerate complex work

Required

• 5+ years Elixir/Phoenix in production (or equivalent functional language depth with strong Elixir proficiency)
• Expert SQL - schema design, query optimisation, performance tuning
• Advanced Phoenix LiveView with solid JavaScript/TypeScript and CSS fundamentals
• Strong REST API design experience; architectural judgment for context boundaries and domain modelling
• Production operations - debugging live systems, performance profiling
• OTP concepts: GenServers, Supervisors, processes, fault tolerance
• Security-conscious mindset with compliance understanding
• Linux expertise; effective use of AI coding assistants
• Excellent communication and proven remote autonomy

Preferred

• Infrastructure as Code (Pulumi, Terraform) and Kubernetes operational experience
• Stream processing (Broadway, GenStage) and background job architectures
• Tailwind and component-based development
• Track record mentoring engineers; enterprise security/compliance experience
