**Introductory paragraph**

We’re building the next generation of tools for the 80% of workers that don’t sit behind a desk, think everything from care workers to charities to hospitality and retail. Our stack is Elixir & Liveview first with the opportunity to get involved with the React Native side for our mobile app. We’re a remote first organisation with a 4.5 day working week who values autonomy and high quality code.

**About us**

My name: Patrick  
My position: Talent Lead  
Company name: Sona  
Website: [www.getsona.com/](http://www.getsona.com/)  
Country: UK (Remote)  
Company info and history:

We’re a[rapidly growing, VC-backed](https://www.getsona.com/post/announcing-our-2-2-million-fundraise) B2B SaaS startup founded in the summer of 2021. We are a fully remote company and work a 4.5 day week, with freedom to pick your half day off.

We fundamentally believe that the best products are built when small, cross functional, autonomous teams are empowered to solve business problems as they see fit. You’ll be joining a pod which owns a particular area of the product and movement between product areas is encouraged and easy. Engineers are heavily involved throughout the product development process, inputting into the why and what as well as the how.

Our stack has two main components:

- A backend with a GraphQL API (for communicating with the Native App) and a web frontend built using Elixir and Phoenix Live View (the PETAL stack)
- A native mobile application built in React Native + Typescript

We’re passionate advocates of the Live View approach for building web applications and believe that it’s one of the biggest step changes in productivity and developer experience since Ruby on Rails.

Our [engineering principles](https://www.notion.so/getsona/Engineering-Team-Principles-b83ffe9620a645e5920529ad79928c66) give a flavour of how we like to work.

Congratulations on being upfront on it. This saves the recruiter and the developers from wasting time in a recruitment process that is not a match for the developer.
