Rabbet (YC S17)

Sr. Software Engineer (Elixir/React) | REMOTE (TX, NC, CO)

hn · REMOTE (TX, NC, CO)

scored

Jose has strong full-stack engineering experience and proven ability to ship production systems, but lacks the specific technical stack required (Elixir/Phoenix). While he demonstrates excellent problem-solving and has worked with databases and backend systems, the job explicitly seeks Elixir expertise and his background is primarily Python, TypeScript, and JavaScript. His founding engineer experience at an AI company and construction finance domain knowledge are not present, making this a significant mismatch despite his overall seniority.

Hook: Your full-stack expertise and track record shipping complex systems could translate well to Rabbet, though you'd need to learn Elixir rather than leverage existing experience in the core stack.

Missing: Elixir, Phoenix framework, Absinthe GraphQL, Construction finance domain knowledge

Rabbet (YC S17) | Sr. Software Engineer (Elixir/React) | REMOTE (TX, NC, CO) | Full time

Rabbet is hiring Sr. Software Engineers to help us streamline construction finances. We offer cloud-based software for commercial lenders and real estate developers to centralize construction finances, automate administrative tasks, and reduce the time spent managing draws.

Backend is in Elixir (Phoenix/Absinthe/Postgres) hosted on GCP, frontend is React (mostly TS now, with some legacy JS still being converted). The company is ~20 people with 7 of us on the engineering team. Looking to add another 2 engineers over the next ~6 months. We use LLMs (Claude and Codex) as part of our workflow.

We are fully remote, though we do require candidates to be in TX, NC, or CO (exceptions possible if you have several years of professional Elixir experience). We don't currently offer sponsorship.
