I submitted a few patches to an elixir project and from that a company reached out to hire me. This was a while ago but I got the feeling that companies were starved for talent.
It's also hard to get a job as an elixir junior or senior. There is a disconnect and companies are trying to hire by cargo culting things that other startups/faang are doing, and repeatedly turning down perfectly good candidates. Also recruiters don't know how to find/screen elixir devs, etc.
