Senior Java Engineer - Core/Infra - Elasticsearch

Experience crafting APIs and the ability to reason through tradeoffs.

Experience with low-level Java such as concurrency, parallelism, classloaders, etc.

Hands-on experience with CI/CD systems and practices (Buildkite, Argo CD, GitOps etc).

Experience leading large scale projects across engineering teams.

This covers both technical design and working with others to develop needed components.

You have a proven track record of using AI to accelerate development, debug complex systems, and optimize code, while still owning the final outcomes.

We are on the lookout for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Elasticsearch team and focus on ensuring that the shared platform functionalities of Elasticsearch are easy to use, performant, maintainable, and secure.

The team’s mission is to create foundational infrastructure and shared functionality that enables engineers to develop, extend, and support Elasticsearch.

The team owns common functionality such as services, settings, and scripting, and makes Elasticsearch extensible through plugins or the Painless scripting language.

The team also makes Elasticsearch observable by providing logging and telemetry information.

We also own the orchestration of Elasticsearch in serverless, the CI/CD workflows, and enable Elasticsearch developers to deliver Elasticsearch to customers - serverless, cloud, and on-premise alike.

Contributing to large, impactful projects that evolve the core infrastructure that underpins Elasticsearch.
