Elixir Engineer - Backend or Fullstack

Be part of something. 

Every time a shipment moves, Yojee makes it visible, intelligent, and efficient.
We’re not building dashboards for clicks — we’re engineering the backbone of modern logistics.

Logistics is a globally impactful industry still running with processes ripe for disruption with our MOSAIC product and TCMS.

Engineers joining now get to shape core systems while the architecture is still evolving — the sweet spot between startup agility and solid engineering foundations.

The Role

Yojee is hiring Elixir Engineers who enjoy solving real engineering problems: distributed systems, real-time events, data orchestration, system reliability, and clean, lasting architecture.

Whether your strength is backend or fullstack, you’ll work on end-to-end features within a squad, collaborating closely with product, design, and other engineers.
This is a place for builders — people who care about reliability, clarity, and doing things properly.

We’re specifically looking for people who:

• enjoy thinking deeply about system design
• can handle ambiguity without charging ahead blindly
• collaborate to maintain consistency across modules
• value clean code, stable interfaces, and high availability
• want to build tech that actually matters

This role requires 4 days per week in our Sydney office. We cannot consider applicants who are not already based in Sydney or actively relocating.

What You’ll Do

• Design and implement services in Elixir / Phoenix
• Contribute to key system architecture decisions
• Build reliable services that handle real-time freight events and high-volume data
• Collaborate with designers and product to refine requirements
• Review specs, challenge assumptions, and get alignment before coding
• Make thoughtful trade-offs between speed, correctness, and maintainability
• Write clean, well-tested, production-ready code
• Participate in deployments, troubleshooting, and performance tuning
• Help shape engineering practices and patterns across modules

(If fullstack)

• Implement frontend elements using React/TypeScript
• Maintain consistency of UI patterns across modules
• Support end-to-end feature delivery

What You’ll Bring

Must-have

• Elixir experience (commercial or strong personal projects)
  Phoenix strongly preferred
• 3+ years building complex, production-grade systems
• Solid understanding of distributed systems or event-driven architectures
• Experience with relational databases (PostgreSQL ideal)
• Familiarity with AWS, Docker, or DevOps concepts
• Strong collaboration skills — you think AND communicate before acting
• Ability to work through ambiguity with alignment (not cowboy coding)
• Clean coding habits, reliability, and thoughtful problem solving

Nice to Have

• Experience with React / TypeScript (for fullstack variants)
• Experience building real-time or high-load systems
• Exposure to logistics, supply chain tech, or integrations
• Open-source contributions
• Comfort working across multiple services/modules
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code
• Experience with greenfield projects or scaling-stage startups

Why You’ll Love Working Here

💡 Real engineering, real impact: Concurrency, orchestration, state management, data consistency — the work is deeply technical and meaningful.

🧱 Shape what’s being built: We’re in the scaling stage — enough structure to move fast, enough flexibility for you to influence direction.

🌏 Small team, strong ownership: You get visibility, autonomy, and direct access to leadership. No politics. No layers of approvals. No noisy bureaucracy.

🌱 Growth With Meaning: This is a place for builders who want to leave a mark on something real.
