I really wish there were more remote Elixir job offers. Seems like such a great productive language to use, and Phoenix with LiveView is just great.

Wow, this is the exact opposite of my experience. I can't imagine a company trying to hire Elixir developers and having any success unless they're willing to hire remote developers. I know a lot of folks in the community and literally everyone is remote...

They get posted all the time in Elixir Forum and I also see them advertised in the various email newsletters.

I feel that there are more remote Elixir jobs than ever. I get a lot of offers without actively searching, most often it's sole Elixir or Elixir + Ruby (unsurprising) combo.

It seems like most Elixir jobs are remote these days.

You could say they are asynchronous!

If you're in the US(I know, I know), PepsiCo Ecomm is hiring.

They’re building all the eCommerce capabilities from scratch in Elixir? Or is the latter just part of the stack?

It's a mix of things. A lot of the b2c stuff uses big partners that are already dominant in eGrocery. However the tooling around the ad placement, fulfillment, product cataloging, b2b sales, sales intelligence and consumer profiling all make use of Elixir.

Basically we use React for most front ends, Python for data engineering/data science, and Elixir for everything else.

I’m interested as well. But having built out a complete e-commerce stack in elixir, I can say I found it particularly well suited to this use case.
