• Actively participating in the peer code review process
• Working closely with application engineers, mostly working in Python, to implement scalable solutions for loading, generating, aggregating, and analyzing data
• Creating and executing both manual and automated testing

Qualifications:

• Extensive experience with the full Elasticsearch stack, including indexing and search APIs, and Kibana, ideally with both locally hosted and Elastic hosted instances
• Experience with SQL database technologies, ideally Postgres
• Experience with AWS or similar cloud-based infrastructure
• Experience with Python
• Experience with the design, development, testing, and support of scalable, data-driven applications deployed to production SaaS environments
• Experience working independently and as a part of an Agile team 

Optional Skills / Domain Experience

• Experience with optimizing the processing, storage, and querying of data in multiple languages
• Hands on experience managing the full Elastic stack, including deployment, infrastructure, security, and backup & recovery, is not required but definitely a plus
• Elastic certification
• AWS certification
• Experience with data science and advanced analytics
