Chromatic - Backend Engineer (Elixir)

• 5+ years of hands-on backend engineering experience building scalable, resilient APIs and systems with modern Typescript and Elixir, with a test-driven approach. • Self-directed problem solver who can scope work, communicate progress, flag blockers early, and make sound technical and product trade-offs independently while staying aligned with stakeholders. • Strong opinions, weakly held—someone who pushes back on ideas to drive better outcomes, handles critique without defensiveness, and demonstrates a growth mindset. • Clear written and verbal communicator who provides straightforward, self-contained updates with necessary context in our distributed, asynchronous environment. • Focused executor who stays accountable to commitments, resists distractions, and delivers consistent progress even when things don't go as planned. • Genuinely invested in developer experience, whether you've shipped tools for developers or spent years deeply understanding frontend teams' pain points. • WE’D BE EXTRA EXCITED IF YOU… • Have experience with Storybook or Chromatic. • Have experience building and maintaining a public API. We’d be even more ecstatic if you’ve done this with GraphQL. • Have experience building production-grade APIs in Elixir using Phoenix. • Have worked effectively in a distributed, remote-first team environment. • Have followed a non-traditional path into software and bring insight from experiences beyond engineering. • We understand that even the best candidates might not meet all the above qualifications on day one. That's okay. If you’re excited about Chromatic’s mission and want to grow your skills, we’d love to hear from you. • Salary Range: $167,000 - 218,000 USD + equity.
