The Elastic Search AI Platform, used by more than 50% of the Fortune 500, brings together the precision of search and the intelligence of AI to enable everyone to accelerate the results that matter.

We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join the team that’s contributing to improving our storage efficiency for metrics, logs and other types of data, advancing our ES|QL solution to query such data as well as optimizing the storage layout for object storage.

As a software engineer in the team, you will work on different initiatives, such as enhancing current logging solutions to ensure that logging data is always accepted and persisted, advancing our current metrics processing capabilities to ensure massive and seamless adoption by our customers and improving storage efficiency across the board.

What You Will Be Doing

• You'll be an expert in the storage engine area and everyone will turn to you when they have a question about them. You'll improve those areas based on your questions and your instincts.
• You'll be a full time Elasticsearch contributor, building data intensive new features, fixing intriguing bugs and increasing the testing coverage, all while making the code easier to understand.
• You'll work with community members from all over the world on issues and pull requests, sometimes triaging them and handing them off to other experts and sometimes handling them yourself.
• You'll write idiomatic modern Java Elasticsearch is 99.8% Java!

• You have an excellent understanding of concurrent and parallel programming principles.
• You have an excellent background in applied data processing (data structures, algorithms).
• You are familiar with storage systems and low-level abstractions in OS.
• You work with a high level of autonomy, and are able to take on projects and guide them from beginning to end.
• You have solid software engineering foundations, with a proven track record of designing and delivering high-quality solutions.
• You're comfortable developing collaboratively. Giving and receiving feedback on code and approaches and APIs is hard!
• You've used several data storage technologies like Elasticsearch, Solr, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, or Cassandra and have some idea how they work and why they work that way.
• You have excellent verbal and written communication skills.

Bonus Points

• You've built things with Elasticsearch before.
• You’ve worked on data storage technology.
• You have experience designing, leading and owning cross-functional initiatives.
• You've worked with open source projects and are familiar with different styles of source control workflow and continuous integration.
