About the role
Peek is looking for a Senior Backend Engineer. In this role you will have the opportunity to take ownership of critical product areas and use AI tools as a force multiplier on top of your strong fundamentals.
What you'll bring
- Strong backend fundamentals in Elixir: API design, data modeling, SQL, service reliability, and debugging production issues.
- Emphasis on creating scalable and reliable backend systems that integrate seamlessly with multiple services and products with an attention to high-quality code.
- A drive for exploring and leading new approaches to complex problems via collaboration with multiple stakeholders across Product, Design, and Engineering, particularly amongst one’s peers.
- Adaptability to the changing tech industry: demonstrated daily use of AI coding tools (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or equivalent) in a production engineering workflow.
- Ability to evaluate AI-generated code critically: you catch logic errors, identify security issues, assess maintainability, and own what gets merged regardless of how it was written.
- Strong system design instincts: you think about tradeoffs, edge cases, and what happens when things scale or fail.
- Clear and empathetic communicator: you flag when a spec has holes, you can articulate why you made a technical choice, you enjoy collaboration and seek to understand different perspectives, and you are constructive in any disagreements.
- Self-motivation and ownership: you will push your work forward without prompting and look for ways to unblock yourself and the team on business priorities
- you enjoy ownership over your work and seeing code through from conception to production.
- Elixir experience is a hard requirement.
- Solid coding practices including peer code reviews, unit testing, continuous integration, TDD, etc.
- Experience with relational and/or non-relational databases
