Elixir Engineer (Full-time)
Apply NowCompany: Strong Compute
Location: San Francisco, CA 94112
Description:
We're designing a fault-tolerant control plane that makes AI compute feel seamless, distributed, and incredibly efficient. If you're passionate about Elixir, high-scale distributed systems, and real-time infrastructure, this is for you.
What you'll do
Build highly available Elixir-based control systems for scheduling, monitoring, and scaling AI workloads
Develop fault-tolerant distributed systems for orchestration, state management, and billing
Integrate multiple clouds, on-prem clusters, and networking layers into a unified AI infrastructure
Optimize real-time data pipelines and event-driven architectures
Implement security best practices in authentication, encryption, and API access control
Work closely with AI researchers to create developer-friendly interfaces and APIs
What we're looking for
Deep experience with Elixir, Erlang or Gleam and OTP (or similar functional programming with paskell, scala, f# etc.) for distributed and fault-tolerant systems
Experience building event-driven architectures (examples include RabbitMQ, Kafka, NATS, etc.)
Strong understanding of distributed databases and state management (PostgreSQL, ETS, Mnesia, Redis)
Knowledge of cloud and multi-cloud integrations (AWS, GCP, Azure, neoclouds)
Experience with securing Elixir applications
Nice to haves:
Understanding of AI/ML compute environments (GPUs, CUDA, NCCL, Slurm, Horovod)
DevOps experience
Our culture
We move fast. We ship weekly-new features, improvements, and fixes go live fast. Our infra runs cluster scale up tests daily.
We test big. Every month, we stress test with large groups of users face to face, get real-world feedback, and iterate rapidly.
We build together. Weekend hackathons push boundaries, drive innovation, and help us level up as a team.
We iterate relentlessly. Direct user feedback shapes our roadmap-we release, test, refine, and keep moving.
We travel when needed. Engineers may travel between SF and Sydney to run events, attend conferences, and meet with clients.
Location: SF or Sydney (OG startup house vibe, great food, late nights, all the GPUs)
