Principal Software Engineer - Search Infra - Elasticsearch

  • $154K - $243.6K / year
  • Canada only · Canada (remote)
  • Posted 3 months ago

About the role

Canada only. Technical direction for Elasticsearch's core search infrastructure: indexing, retrieval and relevance, including work upstream in Lucene as a full-time Elasticsearch contributor.

Elastic describes a company that reviews every change and decides big things by consensus, so a principal seat here is persuasion as much as authority. Deep search internals are the requirement, not a nice to have.
