Elixir developer, skills required.

Hello !

I’m looking for a remote job as elixir/phoenix developer.

I have a degree in software engineer, I have a reasonable programming knowledge and I learned functional programming using Haskell in the University.

The problem is that I have no working experience in the industry, due to personal reasons I always worked in something else but now I want to start working as a remote developer and after discovered Phoenix seems to be a good technology to work on.

This is what I have done:

  • Read the book Programming Elixir ≥ 1.6.
  • Read the book Programming Phoenix ≥ 1.4.
  • Read the Phoenix documentation.
  • Started 2 or 3 projects just to practice.
  • Right now, I’m learning LiveView.

I learned this technologies:

  • Elixir
  • Phoenix
  • Absinthe
  • Git
  • PostgreSQL
  • Docker

The questions are,

  • Witch other technologies or skills I need to learn to be more likely hired to work?
  • There’s any open source project where I can work for free and gain experience ?
  • Where can I look for a remote job ? beyond Elixir Jobs and Linkedin.

Thanks!
Mauricio.-
