Job description
Forza Football is looking for Elixir backend developers to join our talented team (remote or in Gothenburg, Sweden).
Responsibilities
You will work in a small group of skilled developers and designers dedicated to building top-tier products for users all over the world with access to a former Elixir Core team member. You will be working on the services that power our mobile apps—from the API that serves millions of clients to the push notification system that keeps our users up-to-date on their favourite football teams and competitions.
We do not hire solely based on experience with a few specific tools or languages or university degrees. Rather, we hire developers who are smart, pragmatic, and self-driven. We value the ability to learn new tools and function in an agile environment. We are an equal opportunity employer and are excited to expand our team with diverse talents from different backgrounds and cultures.

6+ years of experience with Elixir and OTP: you have developed applications for production use
An interest in systems that are highly available, resilient, and run at scale
Experience with high-level system architecture design
Sense of craftsmanship: you strive for code quality and maintainability, write tests as part of your coding routine
Knowledge about caching strategies, message queues and service-oriented architectures
An understanding of setting up infrastructure and managing Linux servers
Experience with deployment tooling, monitoring, alerting, data visualization, load testing and/or live system debugging
Strong articulation skills
Be a team player, have attention to detail, and be not afraid to share unconventional ideas
Good oral and written English, as Forza Football operates globally, and many employees are international

Prepare your application
Use the description above to assess your fit for Forza Football. This checklist is guidance from Resumize, rather than additional requirements from the employer. Imported listings can be shortened or change after collection, so confirm the complete description and current availability before sending an application.
Match requirements to evidence
Identify the responsibilities and skills the employer explicitly names. For each important requirement, choose one example from your work, education, training, or projects. Explain what you did, how you did it, and what changed as a result. Include a measurable outcome when you can support it. If you lack a requirement, describe related experience accurately instead of adding an unfamiliar skill to your resume.
Put the most relevant examples near the top of your resume. Keep job titles, dates, qualifications, and contact details consistent across your application materials. Use the employer’s terminology when it describes your experience accurately; a copied list of keywords does not explain your contribution. A short, specific bullet is easier to review than a paragraph that mixes several unrelated duties.
Check the working arrangement
Confirm the location, schedule, employment type, and any eligibility requirements on the employer’s site. A remote label does not establish worldwide eligibility or flexible hours. If compensation, benefits, equipment, travel, or contract duration are missing from this listing, write down your questions for the recruiter. Do not assume details from another opening at the same company apply to this role.
Review before submitting
Follow the employer’s requested file format and application instructions. Open your exported resume and check that its text is selectable, its sections read in order, and its links work. Proofread names, dates, and contact information. Share confidential work samples only when you have permission, and use an anonymized example when necessary.
Submit through a trusted employer or recruiting destination. If the original listing has disappeared, search the employer’s careers page for the title rather than assuming the vacancy remains open. Save the application date, job reference, and the version of your resume you sent. Those details help you prepare for a later conversation and avoid submitting conflicting information through several job boards.
Review your resume for writing and readability feedback, or browse other openings if this opportunity is unavailable.
