• Apply your knowledge of data warehouses, data lakes, ETL/ELT transformations, and relevant platforms like Snowflake, Google BigQuery, Amazon Redshift, Microsoft Azure Synapse Analytics, etc., to ensure effective data management and analysis.
• Develop high-performance, reusable code and microservices using Elixir, as well as other programming languages like Python, Java, JavaScript, Go, Kotlin, etc., to support our massive-scale distributed systems.
• Design and develop APIs (GraphQL, REST) using frameworks like Django, NodeJS, Go, Spring Boot, Phoenix, and implement efficient database interactions and modeling strategies for relational, NoSQL, graph, and big data environments.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to contribute to architectural planning, ensuring careful design considerations that lead to a future-proof and maintainable codebase.
• Lead and drive improvements in the development experience at Angel Studios, enhancing development tools, test coverage, and code structure.
• Exhibit a proactive and detail-oriented approach to work, while thriving in a dynamic environment with evolving requirements.
