Find Erlang engineers and maintainers
The list above ranks the most-starred public Erlang repositories, drawn from the public GitHub graph. Across 425 Erlang repositories in the public graph, the maintainers, top contributors, and recurring committers are a powerful signal for where Erlang expertise lives.
Behind every popular Erlangproject is a small group of people who actually shipped it. They’re the Erlangengineers, library authors, and infrastructure builders worth knowing — whether you’re hiring, partnering, or doing technical research.
Refolk turns this list into a search. Ask for “Erlang maintainers hiring”, “contributors to Erlang repos based in Europe”, or “companies whose engineers ship Erlang” and Refolk returns a ranked shortlist with the commits, repos, and profiles that earned each person a spot.
