Sr. Software Engineer - Erlang/Elixir/Akka(Scala)
We are looking to hire a Senior Software Engineer with a strong foundation in functional programming, concurrent systems, and actor model architectures. You will work on designing and building robust, scalable, and highly concurrent backend systems using cutting‑edge languages like Erlang, Elixir, Gleam, Pony, or Scala with Akka or Haskell.
Key Responsibilities Design, implement, and maintain backend services using actor‑based and functional languages. Build scalable, data‑race‑free concurrent systems. Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to develop backend APIs and services. Contribute to architectural discussions and performance optimizations. Write clean, testable, maintainable code. Mentor junior engineers in functional and concurrent programming.
Languages & Frameworks Elixir (BEAM, OTP) Gleam (typed functional on BEAM) Pony – High‑performance, safe actor model Haskell – Purely functional systems
Must Have 5+ years of professional software development experience with strong problem‑solving skills. Hands‑on experience (3+ years) in Erlang or Elixir or Gleam or Akka, or Pony, or Haskell, and a strong understanding of their concurrency model (processes, message passing, supervision trees). Exposure to building and maintaining distributed, high‑availability systems. Experience with microservices architecture and REST‑based APIs. Solid knowledge of RDBMS/SQL and experience working with databases in production environments. Understanding of software design principles, object‑oriented programming, and system design patterns. Familiarity with version control systems (Git or similar).
Nice to Have Background in real‑time systems, telecom‑grade architectures, or robotic platforms is a plus. Exposure to CI/CD pipelines and containerized deployments (Docker, Kubernetes, etc.).
Qualifications Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field from a reputed institute. Strong analytical and debugging skills with an ability to work in a fast‑paced environment. Clear, concise communication skills with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to diverse stakeholders.
