Erlang Developer

Role: Erlang Developer Distributed Systems

Experience: 48 Years

Role Summary

Were hiring engineers who take full ownership of systemsnot just code. Youll design, build, and run large-scale, real-time distributed backend services where reliability and performance directly impact live operations.

This role is for people who can take ambiguous problems, break them down, and deliver production-grade solutions end-to-end.

What Youll Be Responsible For

• Design and build distributed backend services using Erlang/OTP
• Own services end-to-end: design development deployment monitoring production support
• Model concurrent systems using message passing and actor-based design
• Build fault-tolerant systems using supervision trees and recovery strategies
• Ensure systems are production-ready (logging, metrics, alerts, safe deployments)
• Debug and resolve real-world distributed system failures
• Improve performance, scalability, and reliability continuously

Core Skills Required

• Strong hands-on experience with Erlang & OTP
• Experience with:
• GenServer, Supervisors, FSM
• ETS / Mnesia
• Distributed Erlang (clustering, node communication, fault handling)
• Solid understanding of:
• Distributed systems design
• Actor model & concurrency
• Event-driven architectures
• Working knowledge of:
• Linux (debugging & performance)
• Networking (TCP/UDP, REST/gRPC)
• Messaging systems (Kafka, RabbitMQ)
• Databases (Redis, PostgreSQL)
• Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD

What We Look For

• Engineers who own outcomes, not just tasks
• Strong debugging skills in distributed environments
• Ability to think in failure scenarios, not just happy paths
• Comfortable working on always-on, production systems
• Clear communication and decision-making ability

Nice to Have

• Experience with high-availability (24x7) systems
• Exposure to cloud platforms like GCP
• Background in automation, robotics, or control systems
