About the role of Senior Elixir Engineer (Sovereign Territory Surveillance) We're investing in Elixir as the foundation for the next generation of SRT 's web technology platform. You'll be joining at a point where you'll have genuine influence over how that platform evolves. We're not looking for someone to simply write features, we want engineers who enjoy making systems better. If you spot a better architecture, a cleaner deployment model, or a more elegant OTP solution, we want you to make the case. You'll have the freedom to experiment, prototype and influence where the platform goes next. We care far more about solving interesting engineering problems than chasing frameworks or buzzwords. Elixir just happens to be an excellent tool for the kinds of distributed, fault-tolerant systems we’re building. You as a Senior Elixir Engineer will work alongside experienced engineers who enjoy discussing architecture, refining systems and occasionally disappearing down an OTP rabbit hole because there has to be a better way. If that sounds familiar, you'll probably feel at home here. We're looking for a Senior Elixir Engineer who enjoys solving difficult technical problems and wants to build software with real-world impact. This isn't another CRUD SaaS platform. The software you build will help coast guards, maritime authorities and governments understand what's happening across some of the world's busiest waterways. You'll be working on distributed, event-driven systems that ingest, process and visualise live data from thousands of assets across the globe. One day you'll be designing resilient OTP services processing streaming telemetry, the next you'll be building highly interactive LiveView applications or helping shape the architecture behind the next generation of our platform. If words like GenServer, PubSub, supervision trees and distributed systems genuinely make you smile, you'll probably enjoy working here. You'll be responsible for building stable, secure and scalable platforms that power SRT 's next generation of web technologies. We looking for someone who enjoys understanding systems, not just writing features. Please note – the role of Senior Elixir Engineer is a hybrid role, working both in our Bristol office and WFH.
