What are the responsibilities and job description for the Sr. Software Engineer-Elixir position at Fanatics?
Job Description
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.
