Job details

Elixir Engineer (Full-time)

We’re designing a fault-tolerant control plane that makes AI compute feel seamless, distributed, and incredibly efficient. If you’re passionate about Elixir, high-scale distributed systems, and real-time infrastructure, this is for you.


What you’ll do

 Build highly available Elixir-based control systems for scheduling, monitoring, and scaling AI workloads

 Develop fault-tolerant distributed systems for orchestration, state management, and billing

 Integrate multiple clouds, on-prem clusters, and networking layers into a unified AI infrastructure

 Optimize real-time data pipelines and event-driven architectures

 Implement security best practices in authentication, encryption, and API access control

 Work closely with AI researchers to create developer-friendly interfaces and APIs



What we’re looking for

 ✅✅ Deep experience with Elixir, Erlang or Gleam and OTP (or similar functional programming with paskell, scala, f# etc.) for distributed and fault-tolerant systems

 ✅✅ Experience building event-driven architectures (examples include RabbitMQ, Kafka, NATS, etc.)

 ✅✅ Strong understanding of distributed databases and state management (PostgreSQL, ETS, Mnesia, Redis)

 ✅✅ Knowledge of cloud and multi-cloud integrations (AWS, GCP, Azure, neoclouds)

 ✅✅ Experience with securing Elixir applications  



Nice to haves:

 ✅ Understanding of AI/ML compute environments (GPUs, CUDA, NCCL, Slurm, Horovod)

 ✅ DevOps experience



Our culture🚀

 We move fast. We ship weekly—new features, improvements, and fixes go live fast. Our infra runs cluster scale up tests daily.

 👥 We test big. Every month, we stress test with large groups of users face to face, get real-world feedback, and iterate rapidly.

 💻 We build together. Weekend hackathons push boundaries, drive innovation, and help us level up as a team.

 🔄 We iterate relentlessly. Direct user feedback shapes our roadmap—we release, test, refine, and keep moving.

 ✈️ We travel when needed. Engineers may travel between SF and Sydney to run events, attend conferences, and meet with clients.


 📍 Location: SF or Sydney (OG startup house vibe, great food, late nights, all the GPUs)
