Descripción de la vacante

Elastic is seeking a Senior Software Engineer for the Billing Core team. You will own and improve billing data pipelines, design scalable Python services, and take charge of PostgreSQL schema and query performance.

You will lead projects end-to-end, boost observability, and mentor engineers while collaborating with Product, SRE, and Cloud Infra teams. The role supports a distributed, async environment with global collaboration, and includes stock options and a 401k plan.

Formación

• 5+ years in backend engineering, with solid skills in Python and PostgreSQL (schema design, query tuning, reliability).
• Experience building and operating data pipelines or event-driven systems in a production environment.
• Solid understanding of distributed systems and how to build for reliability and scale.
• Background in cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure) — networking, monitoring, and deployment basics.
• Strong judgment in technical trade-offs. You can work through ambiguous problems and deliver well-thought-out solutions.
• Good communication skills. You write clearly and speak up in discussions to share your perspective.
• Experience with SaaS billing, metering, or financial systems is a plus.
• Comfortable working in a global, distributed, async environment.
• Track record of using AI to speed up development, debug complex systems, and improve code quality — while owning the outcomes.
• Eligible to work in DoD Impact Level 4 or above cloud service environments.

Responsabilidades

• Own and improve billing data pipelines for usage ingestion, transformation, and reconciliation.
• Design and build reliable, scalable backend services in Python, with a focus on correctness and data integrity.
• Take ownership of PostgreSQL schema design and query performance for billing data.
• Lead small to medium projects end-to-end — from design to delivery — within the team.
• Improve observability and reliability of core billing systems through better monitoring, alerting, and incident response.
• Participate in code and design reviews. Be a trusted reviewer for your area of the stack.
• Mentor junior engineers through feedback, pairing, and design discussions.
• Work with Product and Tech Leads to help shape priorities and technical direction.
• Take part in on-call rotations and contribute to production readiness.
