Elixir Staff Software Engineer

Staff Software Engineer

Background

Fanatics Collectibles Engineering is building products to transform the trading card industry and while we may be a growing team building new and evolving legacy digital products, we also have the backing of Fanatics – the world's largest sports merchandiser with over 900 sports relationships and more than 81 million reachable fans. We have exclusive licensing deals with the MLB, NFL and NBA and the products we build will be used by millions of trading cards fans from day 1. We are out to reinvent the trading card industry, which is a bold and ambitious mission.

What does this mean as a member of the engineering team?

• We move fast. We have a lot to do and are looking for folks who will drive projects to completion with a sense of urgency, but not at the expense of quality, scalability, and performance. We understand that we'll be responsible for maintaining these projects for the foreseeable future and how investments in quality today allow you to move more quickly tomorrow.

• We think about scale. The trading card market is large and we will be the de facto entry point into the hobby, and that modern consumers expect nothing less than the real time flow of information when interacting with technology today.

• We're pragmatic. We embrace new technologies but focus on using the best tool for the job.

• We are flexible. The industry moves quickly and shifts continuously. We ensure that we are building systems to accomplish the next goal, not those focused on the last one.

The Role:

● We are building a multi-product ecosystem – card technology, manufacturing utilities, commercial enablement tooling, internal tools and more – and are looking for a Staff Software Engineer to lead efforts in building and iterating on products and setting the technical foundations for future work.

● Staff engineers at Fanatics Collectibles own and contribute to large systems and projects, coordinate and communicate with teams and leads from across the organization and instigate design discussions to facilitate engineering-wide learning. Furthermore, they are experts in our technology stack and facilitate our most impactful architecture decisions. Staffs are experts in software design and have experience deploying patterns and technology to solve a multitude of problems at scale. This isn't a pure architect role – Staffs at Collectibles work across the entire development lifecycle, including implementation, maintenance and testing.

Some indicators that this role may be a good fit for you:

● 10+ years of software engineering experience

● You are an authority in multiple technical disciplines, languages, frameworks and systems.

● You demonstrate a unique and extraordinarily effective problem solving perspective and approach.

● You're constantly thinking about how your work and experience can help make other engineers and teams more productive.

● You are capable of developing entirely new implementations of industry solutions: data structures, frameworks, libraries, services, etc.

● You have delivered and maintained production applications in Elixir and Phoenix.

● Experience with LiveView is a plus.

● Experience with event-based systems leveraging event-sourcing is a plus.
