About the customer
Our Customer is working within the recycling industry, their main objective to simplify and make it easier for everybody to know how to proceed and how to handle their waste whilst giving the best value for your recycled goods.

Here is what they say about themselves:
“In this time and age you are able to compare the prices of Hotels, subscription services and where you can find the cheapest items to purchase. But there is no service that provides the same comparison when it comes to recycling options or to find different companies to help you with your recycling and waste sorting.

Recycling processes are revolutionized and developed every day, but the market stands still. In step with the amount of waste that is produced and is only increasing each and every year, the world needs to be informed more about how they can best take care of their waste.

Waste handling is thought of as boring by the majority, and that opinion is hard to change. But that is where the Customer comes in to make it easier.”

About the team
The engineering team consists of CTO, Product Owner and Senior Developer. You will collaborate closely with two experienced professionals, collectively bringing 12 years of expertise in Elixir.

Assignment description
The company has moved beyond the initial start-up phase and is now focused on rapid growth and expansion, having recently transitioned to a full Elixir tech stack.

They use Slack for communication, and while are currently hosted on AWS, they are in the process of migrating to Fly.io.
