Senior Java Developer - Distributed Systems, Serverless - Elasticsearch joins the Elasticsearch - Distributed Systems team to focus on scale, performance, and resilience within the company's serverless offering. This role involves tackling complex distributed systems challenges regarding how nodes in an Elasticsearch cluster communicate and how data is indexed, allocated, and managed across those nodes.
