Baumann Paper is looking for a full stack developer to help us transition our Ruby on Rails system to Elixir/Phoenix.

My name is Marli and I run our distribution company. I wrote our system in Ruby on Rails starting back in 2010 and I am looking for someone to partner with me to help me migrate and upgrade our system to Elixir. I’m just starting to learn Elixir myself and am looking for someone to help me down this path.

Ideally I’d like to find someone who has managed other devs and has experience launching Elixir projects in production. I could see where we’d need to hire additional developers to work on all these tasks.

Goals: to modularize and future-proof our systems.

This job will include remote work, but I really need someone that is able to come on site from time to time which is why I’m trying to limit the scope to Kentucky.

My grandfather started the company 74 years ago and I’m helping to take us to the next level by integrating new tech on a daily basis.
