The Best Elixir Job Boards, Ranked by Where Jobs Actually Appear

Most "best job boards" lists are written by people who never counted anything. We run an Elixir job aggregator, so we can do better: HexHire has tracked 987 Elixir listings across every source we monitor, and we know exactly where each one came from. Below is every board worth your time, including our competitors, with the real numbers on which sources carry jobs you will not find elsewhere.

Where do Elixir jobs come from?

Here is the breakdown across everything we have tracked, grouped by type of source. Professional networks dominate on volume, but note the long tail: community boards and career pages carry hundreds of listings between them, and many of those never appear on LinkedIn at all.

All 987 listings in the HexHire database, deduplicated. We started collecting in November 2025; older listings entered with their original posting dates. A job posted in several places is counted under the category where we first found it.

Which boards are Elixir-specific?

Three boards focus on Elixir alone, and they are where community-minded companies post first. ElixirJobs.net is the longest-running board in the ecosystem, free to browse, with a mix of remote and on-site roles. The Elixir Forum jobs section is where smaller shops and consultancies post, often informally, and listings there frequently never reach any other board. In our data these community sources accounted for a modest share of volume but a disproportionate share of unique listings.

And HexHire, this site, which takes a different approach: instead of waiting for companies to post, we monitor every source category in the table above, verify each listing is fully remote and Elixir-related, deduplicate, and prune dead links daily. Currently that means 213 live positions from 187 companies.

Which general boards are worth checking?

LinkedIn, first and unavoidably. Roughly half of the Elixir postings we track appear there, so if you only check niche boards you miss most of the market. Its Elixir search needs babysitting though: expect "Elixir of life" supplements and unrelated roles mixed in, and set up a saved search with alerts rather than browsing manually.

Among remote-work boards, Remote Rocketship and Arc.dev carried the most Elixir listings in our data, followed by RemoteYeah. We Work Remotely and RemoteOK list Elixir roles too, but at low volume. The pattern across all of them: each board has some overlap with LinkedIn and some exclusive listings, which is exactly why checking one general board is never enough.

What about company career pages?

Around one listing in ten in our data came straight from a company career page, through the applicant tracking systems behind them (Ashby and Lever are the common ones in Elixir-land). These are easy to miss and often the best jobs: companies with strong inbound interest do not always bother with job boards.

You cannot realistically poll dozens of career pages yourself. Either follow the specific companies you care about (the company directory lists everyone we have seen hire Elixir developers, with links), or let an aggregator watch the ATS feeds. The who's hiring page shows which companies have open roles this week.

Are newsletters and communities useful?

For juniors and for early access, yes. Elixir Radar and Elixir Weekly both feature jobs alongside ecosystem news. The Elixir Slack and Discord have jobs channels where roles sometimes appear before any board. Hacker News runs its monthly "Who is hiring?" thread, which usually includes a few Elixir roles, searchable with tools like hnhiring.com.

The common thread: community channels move first and fill fast. A role posted in a Slack channel by a team lead can be filled before it ever becomes an official listing. If you are job hunting seriously, be present in at least one community channel while you run your board searches. More on that in our guide to finding an Elixir job.

So which should you actually use?

A workable setup is one aggregator plus one community channel plus a LinkedIn saved search. The aggregator (we are biased, but the numbers above explain why one exists) covers the breadth problem. The community channel catches the early, informal postings. LinkedIn covers whatever slips past both. Add the salary report so you know what to ask for, and check the demand numbers if you want the wider market picture before committing to the search.
