There are definitely positions out there, but they're not always obvious. I picked up an new embedded/backend job at the beginning of the year and they mentioned "Oh, we're doing a lot of new development in Elixir, you cool with that?" towards the end of the interviewing process. Wasn't ever in the job description before I was hired... And yes, most of the new development has been in Elixir, when it makes sense. :)
