I started my first Elixir role at ScriptDrop last September. We coordinate prescription deliveries with partners like Rite-Aid, Kroger, Uber, and USPS via our Web portals and API integrations. Our platform’s front-end is mostly Phoenix server-rendered HTML with sprinkles of jQuery/native DOM. I’ve noticed quite a few healthcare startups using Elixir (and also others using Ruby/Rails and Python/Django). For someone long interested in the healthcare space, this is a welcome change from PHP/Java/.NET that have been used by some of the more entrenched players. Location-wise, aside from SF/NYC, a lot of Elixir shops are springing up in “hipster” areas like Columbus (where I live), Austin, Denver, and Utah.
