What You'll Love About Packlane:
Use the technologies you love - Packlane is an opportunity to cut your teeth on an exciting technology stack, including innovative development frameworks and cutting-edge functional languages.
We’re a small team - You’ll be one of few, which means you’ll have a real chance to make an impact. Expect (and hopefully enjoy!) a lot of control and influence over product decisions and prioritization, with significant engagement and input into business decision-making.
You’ll help build our future - We’ve got a lot of ambitious projects in the works, from re-building manufacturing infrastructure from the ground up, to implementing robust order management systems that orchestrate an intricate production flow, and you’ll be at the forefront of it all. We value creative thinking, bold decisions, and the courage to take ownership over solutions.
You'll be challenged to grow - If you are curious and willing to continue to learn and level-up, you'll be right at home on our tea. We value diverse and growing skillsets as well as deep knowledge in specific areas of software development and engineering. We encourage exploration and growth, sharing your knowledge, and evolving our stack and implementation.
Flexibility - We’re a fully remote company, from Engineering through Customer Service. We’re proud of our remoteness and make sure to stay connected and interactive through Slack, Zoom, and other channels. We operate across all the North American time zones from GMT-3 to GMT-7. We value work-life balance and work to find innovative solutions to meet peoples' needs.
REQUIREMENTS
3+ years of experience in Elixir, Phoenix, and Eco to build domain logic, web APIs, internal tools, or similar big projects in production. You have a couple of languages under your belt and aren't afraid of picking up new ones.
Real-world experience in designing and evolving SQL schemas and writing code that manages relational data. You're confident working through the tradeoffs of different transaction isolation levels, choosing indexing strategies for tables, and deciding when and how to use data caching in memory, as a few examples.
A great understanding of backend web technologies, from principles of networking and HTTP protocols up to running applications behind load balancers and proxies. You're a whiz at speeding applications up using caching and CDNs, and don't break a sweat while debugging production issues with the help of logs and tracing.
