Principal Elasticsearch Engineer

A typical day as a Cogniter will contain the following tasks & responsibilities:

• Help plan, deploy, upgrade, monitor, and troubleshoot our Elasticsearch clusters and related infrastructure
• Work with service teams on improving observability
• Help architect and operate logging and log-like capabilities in our data platform, identifying what requirements can be met with what indexing strategies
• Make sure we use cloud storage and compute resources in the most efficient manner possible, likely relying heavily on S3 API-compatible blob storage

We believe most of these should match your experience:

• 3+ years of experience with Elasticsearch or similar tools used for logging use cases
• Experience with large Cloud deployments on either AWS, GCP, or Azure
• Specifically 3+ years of experience with blob storage
• You can explain the tradeoffs of blob storage, and the tradeoffs storage technologies that use them. You understand how the logging tool lifecycles data in and out of blob storage.
• A master degree in Computer Science or a similar amount of experience
• Comfortable with Python or similar programming languages to make automations. You don't need strong programming skills, but should be able to make or change simple scripts, integrations and automations.
• You enjoy sharing knowledge, and can calibrate who needs to know what
