Fly.io Is Hiring Full-Stack Developers
Summary
Fly.io is seeking early-to-mid-level full-stack developers to work on customer-facing parts of its global application-hosting product. The role sits in a CLI-first organization whose UX stack combines Rails, GraphQL, and Go, with more Elixir and Phoenix planned, while the broader platform uses Rust and Go. Candidates are not expected to be Rails or Elixir experts; the stated bar is the ability to learn unfamiliar code and produce work that holds up, including deploying an application end to end and building browser UI components. Hiring centers on untimed work-sample challenges based on the team’s actual work rather than resume screening, interview gauntlets, or gotchas. The remote full-time role offers US healthcare, flexible vacation, hardware and phone allowances, and $120k–$140k plus equity.
Context
Fly.io is looking for more people to join its small, remote, technically focused team, with a particular need for full-stack developers. The role is motivated by increasingly ambitious user-interface and user-experience work around its application-hosting platform.
Approach / What changed
The role combines customer-facing development with Rails, GraphQL, Go, and planned Elixir/Phoenix work. Hiring uses untimed work-sample challenges based on the team’s actual work, asking candidates to work with existing code, deploy an application end to end on Fly.io, and build browser UI components.
Takeaways
Candidates do not need prior Rails or Elixir expertise; Fly.io prioritizes the ability to learn unfamiliar code and produce durable work.
The full-stack role covers the user journey from reading a blog post and signing up through deploying an application successfully, including browser UI development.
The hiring process is built around realistic, untimed work samples rather than resume screening, interview gauntlets, or gotcha questions.
