You will work alongside a distributed team to craft billing models that drive the growth of our Cloud products. You will learn how to meter and bill distributed applications using the Elastic Stack. This role will require collaboration with Product Managers, Designers, and other Developers to achieve our goals. What You Will Be Doing:
Implement features and execute on the roadmap for the Billing area of the Cloud. This includes working on the parts of the codebase that bring in monthly subscription revenue from thousands of Elasticsearch Service users. Build scalable solutions and expose them via elegant REST APIs to deliver the best payments experience for the Elasticsearch Service. Add features to the backend services in Python that uses Elasticsearch. Collaborate with other Elastic engineering teams to develop scalable, automated solutions that drive our SaaS business. Be hands-on with the codebase. Review work done by your peers, and provide constructive feedback. Work on crafting a stable, scalable, and reliable ingestion pipeline built using Elastic products to harvest usage data from multiple products. Use Elasticsearch and Kibana to aggregate data for billing and usage reporting purposes. Participate in the operation of an always-on service, maintaining a high level of observability. Grow and share your interest in technical outreach (blog posts, tech papers, conference speaking, etc.). Participate in the team's on-call rotation. What You Will Bring:
Proven experience (3+ years) with a track record of delivering high-quality code, preferably in Python. Deep understanding of distributed systems and communication between services. You care deeply about the design and quality of the features you ship. Experience using Elasticsearch and/or Postgres in your application as a data store and analytics engine. Experience or interest in working on SaaS billing or metering systems. Strong communication and problem-solving skills. Ability to work autonomously in a globally distributed team. You love working with a diverse, worldwide team in a distributed work environment.
