Introductory paragraph

We’re looking for a mid/senior engineer to help create the first version of our platform - an Elixir/Phoenix project to showcase the hidden talents and potential of young people.

We love code reviews, pair programming, knowledge-sharing, and good, clean, tested code. And we love Elixir! We regularly attend Elixir meetups and budget is available for conferences (including Elixir London and Elixir EU).

This role will be based in London at our office in Marylebone. Unfortunately we cannot accept remote applications at this time.
