Company mission
To build software to make data usable in real-time and at scale for search, logging, security, and analytics use cases.
Role
Who you are
- 3+ years of programming in core Java. Conversant in the standard library of data structures and concurrency constructs
- Experience troubleshooting complex issues
- You have solid software engineering foundations, with a proven track record of designing and delivering high-quality solutions
- 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
- 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
Desirable
- You've built things with Elasticsearch before
- 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
- You have past working experience with database, search engine, OS or cloud service development
What the job involves
- We are on the lookout for talented Senior Software Engineers to join our Elasticsearch team
- As a Senior Software Engineer in Elasticsearch you will get the opportunity to work on different initiatives
- Whether it’s advancing Elastic Cloud Serverless, building new analytics capabilities in ES|QL (our newest query language powered by a new compute engine), enhancing current logging solutions to efficiently store logs and provide a great customer experience, there is always a good challenge ahead!
- You'll be a full time Elasticsearch contributor, building scalable new features, fixing intriguing bugs and increasing the testing coverage, all while making the code easier to understand. Sometimes you'll need to invent a new algorithm or data structure. Or find one and implement it. Sometimes you'll need to get close to the operating system and hardware
- Tackling difficult issues, including performance or concurrency issues, and proposing solutions
- Collaborating in the open with the Elasticsearch team, Elastic Stack users, and other supporting open source projects. 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
- Partnering with our support engineers on the harder problems
- You'll write idiomatic modern Java -- Elasticsearch is 99.8% Java!
Our take
Elastic develops the Elastic Stack, an open-source set of tools that includes Elasticsearch, Kibana, Beats, and Logstash, designed for data search and analysis. It also offers X-Pack, which adds commercial features to the Elastic Stack, and Elastic Cloud, a suite of SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) products.
This technology is widely used by major companies like eBay, Wikipedia, Yelp, Uber, Lyft, Tinder, and Netflix, along with over 17,000 other organizations. It is applied in various use cases, including application and website search, enterprise search, logging, infrastructure monitoring, application performance management (APM), security analytics (enhancing SIEM applications), and business analytics.
