What is an Erlang engineer?

Erlang engineers are software developers who specialize in using the Erlang programming language to build scalable, concurrent, and fault-tolerant systems. Erlang was originally developed for telecom applications but is now widely used in industries requiring high availability, such as messaging systems, databases, and real-time applications. These engineers design, develop, test, and maintain applications that leverage Erlang's unique strengths, such as its lightweight process model and robust error-handling capabilities.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an Erlang engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Erlang Engineer, you need a solid understanding of concurrent and distributed systems, functional programming, and strong proficiency in Erlang, often supported by a degree in computer science or related fields. Familiarity with OTP (Open Telecom Platform), version control systems like Git, and continuous integration tools is typically required. Excellent problem-solving abilities, teamwork, and effective communication are crucial soft skills that set candidates apart. These competencies ensure the development of robust, scalable, and fault-tolerant systems, which are vital in high-availability environments.

What are some common challenges Erlang engineers face when working on large-scale distributed systems?

Erlang Engineers often encounter challenges related to debugging and maintaining highly concurrent, distributed systems, especially as the codebase grows. Ensuring fault tolerance and seamless message passing between nodes requires careful system design and thorough testing. Collaboration with DevOps and QA teams is crucial to monitor system performance and handle unexpected failures, as live updates and hot code swapping are common in production environments. Staying updated with OTP (Open Telecom Platform) best practices helps in addressing these challenges effectively.

What is the difference between Erlang Engineer vs Elixir Developer?

Both Erlang Engineer and Elixir Developer work with functional programming and distributed systems. Erlang Engineers typically focus on telecom and real-time applications, while Elixir Developers often build web and scalable cloud services. The roles share many skills but differ in industry focus and preferred languages.

Job description

Company Description

credativ U.S. is the North American branch of credativ, an international open source support company. At credativ U.S. we focus on support and services for open source based web operations technology.

Job Description

The credativ Web Engineering team is responsible for building out software solutions for our clients, solving existing problems or enabling new business objectives, empowered to use (or build) the tools that ensure security and scalability, while not sacrificing time to deployment. 

You'll be joining a distributed team of web engineers working in the e-commerce space on a high scale, mission critical, distributed web system. You'll primarily be working on Scala based services, leveraging frameworks like Play and Spring, on top of data systems like Postgres, in a GitHub based workflow, coordinating via Slack, operating in GCP. What you bring to the team is as important as the technologies involved; bringing what you learn and know to support the continual improvement of your teammates is critical for our success with clients. 

Qualifications

In a perfect world, you'd check all the boxes, but obviously we don't live in a perfect world (Hello 2020!). If you have most of the things and are confident you can pick it up, we're willing to take a look.

Requirements & Education

  • 2+ years experience programming in Scala/Play framework
  • Experience working with Spring Boot 
  • Familiarity with React, Redux, and jQuery 
  • Good understanding of Web Standards (HTML, CSS, JSON, REST).
  • Moderate knowledge of SQL (Postgres preferred).
  • Working knowledge of messaging systems (AMQP, Rabbit, SQS)
  • Ability to play nicely with others and work independently.
  • Intelligence with a sense of humor.
  • US-based and legally authorized to work in the U.S. 

Tiebreaker Skills:

  • Experience with Elixr/Erlang or iOS/Swift
  • Experience working with Google Cloud Platform
  • Additional experience with other web frameworks (Rails/Django)
  • Experience building web applications from distributed data sources.
  • Experience developing Open Source code, in public (github, cpan, npm).
Additional Information

As a company we try to minimize the B.S., provide flexible hours, offer 401k, medical/dental/vision options, and will work with you to figure out what you need to be productive (equipment, home-office, co-working, etc...). 
We believe in diversity as a core asset. From the tools we use to the technologies we choose to the people we work with, understanding that diversity in approach, and leading with tolerance over dogma, has always led us to better success. We take pride in the diversity of our staff, and seek diversity in our applicants.
