Hi all, Evan suggested that I describe my predicament here, if someone knows a better place then please let me know!
As you might know I have led the Akka <http://akka.io/> team for several years, so I know quite a bit about technology for distributed systems and backend. I’m one of the three founders of Actyx <https://actyx.io/en>: we develop and sell software that makes it a lot easier to run small factories well—we do that by giving operators and managers the information they need, intuitively and when they need it, weaving data acquisition into the natural workflows. In other words, we lift manufacturing IT into the 21st century, aiming for nothing less than a reinterpretation of “production quality software” (pun intended). We are looking for someone matching my qualification on the frontend, someone who has created relevant tech and has enough experience to know exactly how to set up the frontend part of our engineering team (architecture, testing, CI, etc.). What we are attempting to do is definitely non-trivial, we are looking into having the mobile devices on the shop-floor coordinate in swarm-like fashion (e.g. using CRDTs) in order to get around the requirement of having to install dedicated server infrastructure in the factory. The reason I am exploring the Elm angle is that all knowledgeable frontend engineers I know have pointed towards Elm as really interesting. Coming from Scala I am certainly in favor of using strongly typed languages, although my frontend knowledge in general is too shallow to prescribe a certain technology stack—that is precisely what we need the Director of Frontend Engineering <https://www.actyx.io/en/join-us/director-of-frontend-engineering/> for.
