Elasticsearch - Principal Java Engineer II - ML Core

What Is The Role :

We are on the lookout for a Principal Java Engineer II to join our Elasticsearch - ML Core team and help build and maintain the platform and components used for machine learning in Elasticsearch. On the Java side this will involve maintaining and extending ML support in Elasticsearch, on the C++ side this will involve working on model performance optimizations.

You will help us to build the platform and components that enable customers to gain insight from their data. This team builds and maintains the infrastructure that integrates advanced analytics and machine learning components into the distributed Elastic platform - making these available for our Search, Observability and Security Solutions. This work will involve close collaboration with elasticsearch and enterprise search engineers.
