How to become an Erlang developer?

Erlang is a functional, concurrent language with a strong focus on building scalable, fault-tolerant systems that provide high availability guarantees. Erlang builds upon the Actor model, creating isolated processes that communicate through asynchronous message passing. This allows for concurrency and fault-tolerance not normally found in languages such as C/C++ or Java.

Erlang is a general-purpose, concurrent, functional programming language designed for scalability and fault tolerance. It is garbage-collected and statically typed. A normal Erlang application is built out of hundreds of concurrent small Erlang processes, each encapsulating a set of state variables whose value does not change or need to be updated as part of executing the process.

What is the scope of Erlang development?

Erlang's main distinguishing feature is its programming model. In Erlang, processes are isolated, lightweight entities that communicate with one another through messages.

The Erlang programming language is unusual among modern languages in its immutability, pattern matching, and functional programming. The sequential subset of the language supports eager evaluation, single assignment, and dynamic typing. For simplicity, most Erlang applications are built out of hundreds of small processes. From the looks of it, erlang will be the business world for a long time to come. This will prove beneficial to people who are applying for remorse erlang developer jobs.

What are the roles and responsibilities of an Erlang developer?

The Erlang language is a good choice for messaging between multiple agents across the network. This mapping well to the basic structure of the language. The language is well-suited for creating fast, scalable and reliable web applications. Thus when creating a mobile app merging existing information with new information, using a database with a separate API is one solution to consider. Also, consider collaboration tools that can be easily synchronized with any database.
An Erlang developer handles the following responsibilities:

  • Experience in real-time or embedded software and associated hardware
  • Responsible for the design and development of related operating software
  • Communicate with electronic design engineers to ensure that functionality meets specifications
  • In charge of other Software Engineers within the project team
  • Design, program, evaluate and support Erlang and related software, including some research.
  • Mentor and coach junior staff.

How to become an Erlang developer?

Let’s turn to the route one must take to pursue a career as an Erlang developer. In order to do this, it’s important to bear in mind that employers are often unconcerned about your formal qualifications if you can demonstrate requisite professional experience and knowledge. All that matters is that you have knowledge of both the technical and nontechnical skills required for the job.
However, you should be aware that it is also true that many firms require a bachelor's or master's degree in computer science or a related area when hiring remote Erlang developer positions. This is due to the fact that having an academic background in computer science or a similar field allows you to have a stronger understanding of the programming languages and web development techniques used in Erlang development, which will make the learning process much easier for you. Furthermore, making it easier for firms who are looking for this specific degree requirement when hiring Erlang developers, thus providing more employment opportunities for you.

Now, let's look at the skills and methods you'll need to master in order to become a successful Erlang developer:

Skills required to become an Erlang developer

The most essential step is to start learning the fundamental skills that can get you high-paying Erlang developers jobs. Let’s take a look at what you need to know!

1. Erlang

Erlang is a programming language that works well for building massively scalable soft real-time systems, the sort of programs used in telecoms, banking, e-commerce, computer telephony, and instant messaging. Erlang's runtime system, which has built-in support for concurrency, distribution, and fault tolerance, is used by developers to build massively scalable software systems with high requirements on availability.

2. C

C is one of the oldest programming languages in use today, and it remains the most widely used language for the development of software. C provides efficiency and portability. It has been used to implement many systems, and it is the language used for implementing operating systems such as Linux. The C language contains strong support for procedural programming, data abstraction, object-oriented programming, and generic programming.

3. Java

Java is widely used as the main programming language for developing mobile applications. It is compatible with Android Studio and Kotlin, and it also provides support for Graphical User Interface development via AWT, Swing, and JavaFX. Many web applications are also developed in Java, which allows the creation of any kind of web application through Servlets, Struts, or JSP.

4. Communication protocols

Communication protocols allow different types of network devices to communicate with each other. They are used for both analog and digital communications, and are often used for important processes, including file transfers and online access. There are several types of protocols available such as TCP, IP, UDP, HTTP and more.

5. Distributed Systems

Distributed computing is a method of harnessing the power of several computers over a network. When many computers are linked in this way, they form a cluster, which can offer significant performance and cost-effectiveness benefits over an individual computer. With the large volumes of data that many databases now handle and the increasing demands for faster application performance, a distributed infrastructure is essential. This allows applications to avoid a slowdown caused by additional data volume by simply adding more hardware.

We are seeking a Knowledge Graph Expert to help us grow and curate our KG of entities and relationships, bringing it to the next level.


About the Role


We are looking for a detail-oriented and strategic Knowledge Graph Curator. In this role, you will sit at the intersection of AI automation and human judgment. You will not only manage incoming requests from partner teams but also proactively shape the growth of our Knowledge Graph (KG) to ensure high fidelity, relevance, and connectivity. You will serve as the expert human-in-the-loop, validating LLM-generated entities and ensuring our graph represents the "ground truth" for the business.

 

Key Responsibilities


  • Onboarding of new entities to the Knowledge Graph maintained by the Ads team
  •  Data entry, data labeling for automation of content understanding capabilities
  • LLM Prompt tuning for content understanding automation

3. Data Integrity & Stakeholder Management

  • Manual Curation & Debugging: Investigate bug reports from downstream users or automated anomaly detection systems. You will manually fix data errors, merge duplicate entities, and resolve conflicting relationships.
  • Feedback & Reporting: Close the loop with partner teams. You will report on the status of their requests, explain why certain modeling decisions were made, and educate stakeholders on how to best query the new data.


Qualifications for this role:

  • Knowledge Graph Fundamentals: Understanding of graph concepts (Nodes, Edges, Properties)
  • Taxonomy & Ontology: Experience categorizing data, managing hierarchies, and understanding semantic relationships between entities.
  • Data Literacy: Proficiency in navigating complex datasets. Experience with SQL, SPARQL, or Cypher is a strong plus.
  • AI/LLM Familiarity: Understanding of how Generative AI works, common failure modes (hallucinations), and the importance of ground-truth data in training.

Operational & Soft Skills

  • Analytical Prioritization: Ability to look at a list of 50 tasks and determine the 5 that will drive the most business value.
  • Attention to Detail: An "eagle eye" for spotting inconsistencies, typos, and logical fallacies in data.
