Job Description

We are seeking a skilled Elixir Developer. As a member of this team you will work on TableCheck's applications and integrations with other booking channels.

 

Remote Work

TableCheck has embraced remote work. As such, communication and documentation are in our blood. We emphasize best practices such as agile, scrum, automation, and customer-centric improvements. We look for people who constantly learn from mistakes and adapt, and we expect members of our teams to constantly follow up with questions and updates to keep everyone in the loop.

 

Responsibilities include

  • Contribute to development and maintenance of TableCheck's data-related products, which may include data pipelines, data processing systems, and data integration solutions.
  • Work closely with other members of the Data Operations Team to understand requirements, propose solutions, and implement features effectively.
  • Contribute to the continuous improvement of data operations frameworks and tooling by leveraging new technologies and industry best practices.
  • Identify areas for enhancement and implement solutions to optimize data processing, data quality, and data management workflows.
  • The drive to collaborate, gather feedback, solve problems, and tackle challenges through test and learn is highly valuable in this position.

 

Mandatory Skills

  • At least 2 years of experience using Elixir in a production environment.

Please make sure you fit this requirement before applying (the one in bold above)!

  • Proficiency with Phoenix framework and LiveView
  • Proficiency with SQL with knowledge of database internals
  • Demonstrated ability to absorb information, manage your own time and commitments, achieve desired results in a highly technical environment

 

Recommended Skills

  • Previous startup experience is highly desired
  • Experience with event streaming technologies such as Kafka, Elixir Broadway, etc.
  • Experience with MongoDB

 

Language Skills

  • A native level of English is required.
    (No Japanese language knowledge is required for this role.)

 

Evaluation Criteria

We will evaluate candidates based on the following stages:

  • Initial interview - a one-on-one 15-minute chat over Google Meet to see if we're the right fit
  • Technical interview - (virtually) meet the SRE team at TableCheck to evaluate your skills (no whiteboard or materials required)
  • Take-home project - we will provide you with a 30-60 minute project, which will evaluate your dev and ops skills

TableCheck is changing the online reservation business by connecting millions of diners around the world to the restaurants they love. We help diners make restaurant reservations, and we help merchants manage table inventory, enrich dining experiences, and visualize multi-property analytics to gain insights into restaurant performance. Our goal is to both inform and delight.

We're remote-first, having an asynchronous style working, with employees spread throughout Asia and Europe working on the same team. As such, communication and documentation are in our blood. We look for and write about signals in the noise which enables us to constantly learn and adapt, and we expect members of our teams to constantly follow up with questions and updates to keep everyone in the loop.

Our engineering team communicates in English, and so we generally don't require Japanese skills. We also welcome applicants currently outside Japan. If you want to relocate here, we can sponsor your visa. We're also open to remote candidates who do not plan to relocate.
