Hire Erlang Developers for Fault-Tolerant Nearshore Systems

Erlang is the foundation of systems that demand 99.999% uptime—used in telecom, financial trading, and message brokers (e.g., RabbitMQ). Its core strength lies in its ability to build massively concurrent, distributed, and fault-tolerant applications via the Actor Model and the OTP (Open Telecom Platform) framework. You need an engineer who can leverage Erlang's philosophy of 'Let it Crash' to build self-healing, soft real-time systems. Our vetting process is designed to find experts in concurrency and failure management, assessing their deep knowledge of Actors, process linking, and OTP behaviors. By hiring an Erlang expert from us, you get a developer who can deliver a backend system that is virtually indestructible and can handle millions of concurrent connections with ease.

Is your system failing under load or suffering from unexpected crashes?

The Problem

Traditional systems suffer from hard crashes where a single failure takes down the entire application. Inexperienced developers fail to implement proper isolation and failure recovery mechanisms, leading to catastrophic system downtime.

The TeamStation AI Solution

We vet for mastery of the Erlang Actor Model. Our experts must demonstrate the ability to isolate state, communicate via asynchronous message passing, and, crucially, use Supervisors from the OTP framework to automatically detect and restart failed processes, ensuring continuous availability.

Proof: OTP Supervision and Fault-Tolerant Architecture
Are you struggling to manage massive concurrency and soft real-time needs?

The Problem

Scaling to handle millions of simultaneous users or connections is difficult with traditional languages. Inexperienced Erlang developers fail to utilize lightweight processes effectively, limiting the system's ability to scale on a single machine.

The TeamStation AI Solution

Our engineers are experts in Erlang's unique scheduler and lightweight processes. They are vetted on their ability to manage millions of concurrent Actors efficiently, ensuring the system maintains low-latency, soft real-time performance even at peak load.

Proof: Massive Concurrency via Lightweight Processes
Is your codebase disorganized and difficult to extend?

The Problem

Erlang's unique syntax and concurrent nature can lead to an opaque and disorganized codebase if developers don't adhere to OTP's established structure. This makes onboarding new team members difficult and slows down maintenance.

The TeamStation AI Solution

We look for engineers proficient in the OTP framework's core behaviors (e.g., `gen_server`, `gen_statem`). They are vetted on their ability to build modular, structured components that conform to OTP standards, ensuring the code is readable, testable, and leverages the full power of the platform.

Proof: Proficiency in OTP Framework Behaviors

Core Competencies We Validate for Erlang

Actor Model and asynchronous message passing
OTP framework (gen_server, Supervisors)
Fault tolerance and process linking/monitoring
Distributed Erlang and clustering
Concurrency patterns and state isolation

Our Technical Analysis for Erlang

The Erlang evaluation is centered on the Actor Model and the OTP framework. Candidates are required to design a fault-tolerant system using a hierarchy of OTP Supervisors and Worker processes, proving their ability to implement the 'Let It Crash' philosophy for automatic failure recovery. We test their mastery of the Actor Model by requiring them to manage shared state safely using asynchronous message passing between processes, explicitly preventing race conditions. Expertise in low-latency concurrency is assessed by designing systems that can handle a high volume of simultaneous connections, demonstrating an understanding of Erlang's lightweight processes and scheduler. Finally, we test their knowledge of distributed Erlang and how to build a resilient cluster that spans multiple nodes.
