Podsumowanie oferty

Lead competitive benchmarking initiatives for Elasticsearch across search, vector and hybrid retrieval, analytics, and observability workloads. Build automated benchmarks and investigate performance differences to guide engineering improvements and inform customer decisions. The role also includes publishing reproducible technical reports.

Wymagania

Solid software engineering skills, with experience building maintainable automation and analysis tools in Python or another relevant programming language.
Hands-on experience evaluating and diagnosing performance in distributed systems, databases, or search infrastructure.
Depth in at least one relevant area: search, vector retrieval, analytical databases, or observability systems; ability to learn unfamiliar systems.
Experience designing representative datasets and workloads, including query patterns, concurrency, and ingestion behavior.
Sound experimental judgment, including repeated measurements, variability analysis, warm-up and cache effects, and distinguishing meaningful changes from measurement noise.
Experience building reproducible test environments and documenting configurations, procedures, and results.
Clear technical writing and communication skills, with the ability to explain complex findings and their limitations.
Solid collaboration skills and the ability to turn performance evidence into applicable engineering recommendations.

Nice to have:

Experience with Elasticsearch, Lucene, Rally, ClickBench, or vector search benchmark frameworks.
Experience measuring retrieval quality alongside latency, throughput, and resource usage.
Familiarity with cloud performance and cost analysis, including autoscaling and serverless systems.
Public technical writing, open-source contributions, or published benchmark studies.

Obowiązki

Own prioritized competitive benchmarking initiatives across search, vector and hybrid retrieval, and analytical and observability workloads.
Build and maintain automated benchmark harnesses, datasets, query sets, and load profiles that reflect real-world usage, including concurrent ingestion and querying.
Design fair comparisons with documented system versions, configurations, tuning decisions, resource budgets, and functional differences.
Evaluate latency distributions, throughput, resource consumption, and cost efficiency; for retrieval workloads, measure performance at comparable recall or relevance targets.
Adapt and extend workload-appropriate tools such as Elasticsearch Rally, ClickBench, and vector search benchmark frameworks.
Investigate performance differences using profiling, system metrics, and controlled experiments; collaborate with engineering teams to identify causes and validate improvements.
Evaluate relevant self-managed and managed cloud deployments, including serverless offerings, accounting for scaling behavior and service constraints.
Work with engineering and technical content partners to publish reproducible benchmark artifacts and technical reports explaining methodology, findings, limitations, and tradeoffs.
Partner with engineering and product management to prioritize benchmark coverage and translate findings into actionable product improvements.
