Elastic - Senior Software Developer

• You have strong core Java skills and are conversant in the standard library of data structures and concurrency constructs. • 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. This covers both technical design and working with other engineers to develop needed components. • 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, approaches, and APIs is hard! Bonus points if you've collaborated over the internet because that's harder. Double bonus points for asynchronous collaboration over the internet. That's even harder, but we do it anyway because it's the best way we know how to build software. • 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. Like we said, collaborating on the internet is hard. We try to be respectful, empathetic, and trusting in all of our interactions. And we'd expect that from you too. • 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. • You have past working experience with database, search engine, OS, or cloud service development. • Additional Information - We Take Care of Our People: • As a distributed company, diversity drives our identity.
