Job description

Elasticsearch - Senior Software Engineer - Engineering Productivity, CI/CD

United States

Elastic, the Search AI Company, enables everyone to find the answers they need in real time, using all their data, at scale — unleashing the potential of businesses and people. 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. By taking advantage of all structured and unstructured data — securing and protecting private information more effectively — Elastic’s complete, cloud-based solutions for search, security, and observability help organizations deliver on the promise of AI.

We are on the lookout for a Senior Java Engineer to join our Elasticsearch Delivery team. The mission of the team is to enable Elasticsearch developers to be productive and efficient, ensure the stability of build and continuous integration environments, and develop the testing infrastructure, tooling and automation in support of Elasticsearch development, quality assurance and developer workflows.

Do you want to work on distributed search and analytics software which impacts the lives of millions of people? We’re not interested in your previous job title. Instead, we are looking for forward-thinking people with a deep knowledge of Java, algorithms, and concurrency, who have experience contributing to and managing large Java codebases, with knowledge of CI/CD systems and practices and Java build tools, and who love to solve new challenges.

What you will be doing:
  • Working on large impactful projects that evolve the developer workflows for Elasticsearch engineers enabling them to be as productive and efficient as possible.
  • Shaping our build and continuous integration environments.
  • Design and build tooling and automation for Elasticsearch development.
  • Driving strategy for how Elasticsearch deploys in the cloud.
  • Solving difficult issues, including performance or concurrency issues, and proposing solutions.
  • Collaborating in the open with the Elasticsearch team, Elastic users, and other supporting open source projects.
What you bring along:
  • Experience contributing to and managing large Java codebases.
  • Knowledge of CI/CD systems and practices (Buildkite, Argo CD, GitOps etc).
  • Knowledge of Java build tools (Gradle, Maven, Bazel etc), with a strong preference for Gradle experience.
  • Familiarity with Unix/Linux and shell scripting.
  • Experience of container runtimes (e.g. Docker) and orchestration (e.g. Kubernetes).
  • A high level of autonomy. The distributed nature of the company offers freedom to work when and how you see fit, but also requires team members to work independently, and reach out for help when stuck.
  • Experience running Elasticsearch at scale.
  • Experience maintaining open source libraries.
  • Experience with continuous delivery of a SaaS product.

Compensation: Compensation for this role is in the form of base salary. This role does not have a variable compensation component. The typical starting salary range for new hires in this role is listed below: $133,100 - $210,600 USD. In select locations (including Seattle WA, Los Angeles CA, the San Francisco Bay Area CA, and the New York City Metro Area), an alternate range may apply as specified below: $159,900 - $252,900 USD.

Additional Information - We Take Care of Our People

As a distributed company, diversity drives our identity. Whether you’re looking to launch a new career or grow an existing one, Elastic is the type of company where you can balance great work with great life. Your age is only a number. It doesn’t matter if you’re just out of college or your children are; we need you for what you can do.

We strive to have parity of benefits across regions and while regulations differ from place to place, we believe taking care of our people is the right thing to do.

  • Competitive pay based on the work you do here and not your previous salary
  • Health coverage for you and your family in many locations
