Phoenix.pm: Software Developer Needed

[Matt Alexander]

I interviewed with them about 4-5 months ago and I was impressed with the
level of technical questions asked during the interview.  It was obvious
that the tech guys had a good grasp of technology and truly loved their
work.  Their business was growing rapidly and it sounded like there would
be a lot of great opportunities in programming and engineering.
