It’s a hugely exciting time to be joining the team as we’re still small enough that you’ll have a significant impact on the company’s growth trajectory and culture, yet large enough to have a great structure, experienced leaders and world-class benefits in place. More on working at Sona here.

About the Role

We fundamentally believe that the best products are built when small, cross functional, autonomous teams are empowered to solve business problems as they see fit. You’ll be joining a pod which owns a particular area of the product and movement between product areas is encouraged and easy.

Our stack is built primarily around Elixir, with a Phoenix LiveView web frontend (PETAL stack) and a GraphQL API for communicating with our React Native mobile app.

We think in terms of “T Shaped” developers. This means that while all of us have some ability across the “full stack”, most of us have one side of the stack (e.g. Elixir or React Native) we’re stronger on and spend the bulk of our time on. Typically when somebody starts working with us, they have strong experience with one side of the stack and then learn the other part on the job.

How we Work

We’re a small company with a strong preference for lightweight, asynchronous processes and within Product, we work in sprints with periodic retrospectives. Everything starts with our customers and our engineers (and wider Product team) work closely with our Customer team and users themselves to ensure we’re building a product that fits our users needs. Our Product team principles give more of a flavour of how we like to work day-to-day.

We're huge fans of agentic coding and believe in its ability to dramatically increase our leverage. We especially love tools like Aider and believe they can add huge value across engineering, product and design. If you've got experience working with tsimilar tools, we'd love to hear about it!

Requirements

Everybody’s different, but a lot of the following probably applies to you:

You have some professional experience in Elixir
You have a strong preference towards taking ownership, making sure you’re clear on what you’re doing and why and then communicating progress over awaiting instruction
You’re excited about building beautiful user interfaces using Tailwind and Liveview
You have a focus on “getting it shipped” and when given the choice between “complicated and shiny” vs “get something simple in front of a user”, you always choose the latter.
You're a believer in AI coding tools and have examples of how they've helped you improve. your own work over the last year or so
You’re in a country which is GMT +/- 3 and fluent communicating both verbally and in writing in English
You’re able to attend in-person company meetups 2-3 times per year, these will be around 4 days long and usually require flying both in and outside of Europe
