Summary
Miles Sorlie is a Senior Site Reliability Engineer with 11 years of experience building and operating backend services, primarily in Elixir, Erlang/OTP, and Go. Based in Bozeman, Montana, he has driven major rewrites and daily continuous deployments at onXmaps, helping the company scale its API while integrating multiple payment platforms and supporting a doubling customer base through a $20M funding round. He brings deep production Elixir expertise (Phoenix, Ecto, Plug, PubSub) alongside practical experience in domain-driven design, behaviour-driven development, and ML prototyping for geospatial classification. Known for high test coverage and clean API contracts, he pairs pragmatic engineering with strong cross-functional communication across product, ops, web, and mobile teams. Not obvious at first glance: he started using Elixir in 2016 and has kept it as his primary toolchain while also contributing meaningful Go services and prototype ML work.
