Company info and history (how you’re using Elixir etc):

PepsiCo eCommerce Engineering combines the agility and autonomy of a startup with the financial security of a Fortune 50 multinational.

We have offices in the San Francisco Bay Area (SF and Palo Alto), Plano TX, as well as at our headquarters in Midtown Manhattan, NYC.

We’re remote friendly, offering a transparent and communicative environment for all our colleagues, wherever they happen to work from within the US.

We work in Elixir and we love it! Using Elixir, Phoenix & Absinthe, our engineering teams address real business needs and solve real problems, enabling our continued growth well into the future.

Although our team is growing fast – we’re on track to become the largest employer of Elixir engineers globally – we maintain high engineering standards through (among other processes) code review, testing and ongoing training.

Within just a few years, we’ve crossed $2n in eCommerce sales and we’re just getting started!

If you would like to wake up each day, excited by the prospect of writing Elixir at one of the world’s largest and best-loved brands, we’d love to hear from you!

About the job

Qualifications or experience required:

You will own backend feature development end-to-end, spanning data models, testing, scalability, operability and ongoing metrics.

• Ruby on Rails
• Python
• PostgreSQL

What the successful job applicant will be working on: Building cutting-edge systems in Elixir & Phoenix spanning eCommerce, supply chain and fulfillment automation to name a few.
