## Description

We are looking for a product-minded Senior Backend Engineer with Elixir to join Team Grow, the team at Tellent who delivers and maintains our performance management and employee development product.

Grow is a mature platform that hundreds of our customers rely on. It offers advanced workflows to run performance review campaigns, personalised employee engagement surveys, and a customisable skills library to support skills-based talent management throughout all our other products.

Your 12-Month Journey:

- First 3 months: you'll get to know our team, the ins and outs of our product, and make your first technical contributions.

- Within 6 months: you'll own a slice of the domain end to end, including helping the team make sensible product and technical decisions, and being a go-to reviewer.

- After 1 year: you'll drive the architectural decisions that best serve both our existing customers and the future evolutions of our product. You'll mentor other engineers coming to our product.

Responsibilities:

- Build new and evolve existing product capabilities. This includes documentation, testing, and making sure that what you build meets our quality standards, including performance.

- Shape our product: as a product-minded individual, you'll actively challenge assumptions and contribute your own ideas in order to achieve the best possible outcomes.

- Collaborate: expect to work closely with your teammates and across disciplines on a daily basis.

Requirements:

- You are first and foremost a team player. You know how to support your teammates, but also how to reach out for help when stuck on a complex problem.

- You are an experienced Elixir developer (we use Phoenix with Postgres, RabbitMQ, Redis, and Oban).

- You care about architecture and testability. You know how to balance continuous refactoring with delivering new functionalities.

- You have a keen eye for details, but also know when to look at the big picture in order to make good product decisions.

Benefits:

- Hybrid or remote working setup across Amsterdam, the Cologne area, or Poland

- A chance to shape one of the most ambitious scale-ups in Europe and lead a company-defining tech transition.

- Work in a diverse, multicultural, and remote-friendly team.

- €1,500 annual training budget + 2 dedicated learning days

- Pension plan, travel reimbursement, and wellness perks.

- 28 paid holiday days + 2 additional days to relax.

- Work from anywhere for 4 weeks/year.

- Apple MacBook and top-tier tooling.

- €200 home office budget.
