There are quite a few Elixir shops that are willing to hire people who don't have a ton of experience with Elixir but have experience building and understanding systems generally.

So my advice is, try to bolster your story that you can design and build systems (regardless of language), learn what is needed to get the job done, and _communicate_ your knowledge of those systems to people. Good teams will recognize this regardless of prior specific tech.
