About The Company
Driftock is a marketing technology business founded in 2013 on a mission to become the world leading automotive & e-Mobility marketing platform

We believe in continuous improvement and we are constantly optimising how we work and communicate.

We have a data-driven mindset and we use data to drive decisions on everything from user story prioritisation to company strategy.
We also strongly believe in observability and keeping a close eye on how our product is behaving.
Our platform is made of multiple services (mainly built in Elixir, plus some Ruby services that we are transitioning to Elixir), talking to each other via APIs and RabbitMQ and storing data in Postgresql and redis. All services are hosted on Kubernetes and Google Cloud.
What We're Currently Working On
After a period of experimentation, we are in the process of migrating our app to Phoenix LiveView and Phoenix Components, coming up with best practices and defining a style guide. We are also working on improving the performance of our processing pipeline, as well as polishing existing and growing new product features. In addition we are always open to opportunities to geek out with new technologies.

You should have strong backend experience (Elixir and Ruby are our favourites) and some experience with frontend frameworks

You value and enjoy working in a small team, collaborating closely with other engineers as well as members of other teams

You should have some experience mentoring engineers and a view on how to create a productive team
You are keen to ensure there is a high standard of quality and security in the software we produce as a team
You can work in the same timezone as the rest of the team (flexible)
