Elastic

<div><p>Elastic, the Search AI Company, enables everyone to find the answers they need in real time, using all their data, at scale — unleashing the potential of businesses and people. The Elastic Search AI Platform, used by more than 50% of the Fortune 500, brings together the precision of search and the intelligence of AI to enable everyone to accelerate the results that matter. By taking advantage of all structured and unstructured data — securing and protecting private information more effectively — Elastic’s complete, cloud-based solutions for search, security, and observability help organizations deliver on the promise of AI.</p></div><h3><strong>What is The Role</strong></h3>
<p>Elastic, makers of the hugely popular open source products Elasticsearch, Kibana, Logstash, and Beats, is growing very fast and so is our marketing team. As a key member of the Marketing AI, Operations and Automation team, you will play a hands-on, critical role in designing and building the automation infrastructure that powers marketing at scale. From connecting systems via APIs and webhooks to calling AI models for reasoning within live workflows, you will be the technical builder behind how marketing teams work smarter and move faster.</p>
<p>Elastic is looking for a flexible and adaptable person with the ability to manage a variety of integration and automation challenges across a modern marketing tech stack. This is an ideal position for a self-motivated individual who has hands-on experience with no-code platforms and system integrations, is comfortable working directly with APIs and LLMs, and has the ability to work in a fast-paced, distributed environment.</p>
<h3><strong>What You Will Be Doing</strong></h3>
<ul>
<li>Design and build automated marketing workflows using no-code and low-code platforms, connecting tools across the marketing tech stack so data flows reliably between systems without manual intervention.</li>
<li>Integrate marketing platforms, AI content tools, and third-party services via APIs and webhooks, handling authentication, error states, and data formatting across each connection.</li>
<li>Work with AI models and generative AI platforms to build structured, repeatable workflows that produce consistent outputs at scale, configuring prompts and agent behaviour at the system level.</li>
<li>Call LLM APIs to trigger AI reasoning within workflows, constructing prompts programmatically, handling model responses, and routing outputs back to connected systems</li>
<li>Gather requirements from marketing teams across functions and translate them into workflow specifications, identifying opportunities for reuse and cross-team impact over single-team solutions.</li>
<li>Own the reliability and maintainability of the workflows you build, writing documentation clear enough for non-technical stakeholders to understand what runs, why, and how.</li>
<li>Evaluate new tools and integration patterns as the marketing tech stack evolves, recommending additions based on technical fit and organisational need.</li>
<li>Collaborate with operations, regional marketing, content, demand generation, and other marketing teams to understand where automation removes friction and build accordingly.</li>
</ul>
<h3>What You Bring</h3>
<ul>
<li>4+ years in marketing operations, marketing technology engineering, or a closely adjacent technical role focused on integrations and automation.</li>
<li>Hands-on experience building multi-step workflows using no-code or low-code platforms such as Workfront Fusion, Zapier, Make, or n8n in a production environment.</li>
<li>Practical experience working with APIs and webhooks: constructing authenticated requests, reading API documentation, handling errors, and passing data between systems reliably.</li>
<li>Experience connecting marketing platforms (Workfront, Marketo, Google Workspace, or similar) to external tools and services through system-level integrations.</li>
<li>Experience working with at least one AI model or generative AI platform in a workflow or integration context, including configuring system-level prompts and handling structured outputs.</li>
<li>Experience calling LLM APIs to trigger AI reasoning within a workflow, including constructing prompts programmatically, handling responses, and routing outputs back to connected systems.</li>
<li>Ability to gather requirements from non-technical stakeholders and convert them into buildable workflow specifications.</li>
<li>Strong written documentation habits, with the ability to make complex automation logic understandable to others.</li>
<li>Experience working across globally distributed teams spanning multiple time zones.</li>
<li>Preferred experience with Workfront, Zapier, Marketo, Adobe Fusion, Google Suite.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Bonus Points</h3>
<ul>
<li>Google Apps Script, JavaScript, or Python for cases where no-code tools reach their limits.</li>

<div><p>Elastic, the Search AI Company, enables everyone to find the answers they need in real time, using all their data, at scale — unleashing the potential of businesses and people. The Elastic Search AI Platform, used by more than 50% of the Fortune 500, brings together the precision of search and the intelligence of AI to enable everyone to accelerate the results that matter. By taking advantage of all structured and unstructured data — securing and protecting private information more effectively — Elastic’s complete, cloud-based solutions for search, security, and observability help organizations deliver on the promise of AI.</p></div><h3><strong>What is The Role</strong></h3>
<p>We are on the lookout for a Senior Java Developer to join our Elasticsearch team and drive our work on the Inference API in Elasticsearch.</p>
<p>The Elasticsearch Inference API is the integration layer between Elasticsearch and external machine learning services including Elastic's own Elastic Inference Service (EIS), third-party providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, Cohere, Google), and self-hosted models. It powers features like semantic search, reranking, and generative AI across Elastic Cloud and in hosted environments.</p>
<p>You'll maintain and develop the plugin framework and REST API with your work spanning protocol design, streaming, async execution, billing integration, and with a tight collaboration with the wider inference team and the Kibana team.</p>
<h3><strong>What You Will Be Doing</strong></h3>
<ul>
<li>Build and maintain integrations with internal systems and external inference providers, including schema negotiation, streaming (SSE), and error normalisation</li>
<li>Contribute to the inference plugin's internal architecture: task settings, chunking strategies, rate limiting, and provider-level configuration</li>
<li>Review open source contributions to the codebase and work with third party engineers to ensure their contributions meet our technology standards</li>
<li>Participate in on-call rotation for inference-related incidents</li>
<li>Write thorough tests: unit tests using ESTestCase, YAML-based REST integration tests, and rolling-upgrade tests</li>
</ul>
<h3>What You Bring </h3>
<ul>
<li>5+ years of production Java experience, with experience contributing to a large, established Java codebase. You know core Java and are conversant in the standard library of data structures and concurrency constructs, as well as newer language features.</li>
<li>Experience crafting ergonomic APIs and the ability to reason through tradeoffs.</li>
<li>Experience with low-level Java such as concurrency, parallelism, classloaders, etc.</li>
<li>You have a proven track record of using AI to accelerate development, debug complex systems, and optimize code, while still owning the final outcomes.</li>
<li>You possess the ability to collaborate across functions and teams and seamlessly transition between different projects, codebases, or teams based on business priorities</li>
<li>You can work autonomously, drive decisions and results in a distributed team by leveraging asynchronous, direct, and transparent communication.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Bonus Points</h3>
<ul>
<li>Knowledge of JDK internals: modules, the Java memory model, garbage collection, database load, caching techniques, etc.</li>
<li>Experience with ML systems</li>
<li>Contributions to and ownership of open source projects</li>
<li>Knowledge of Java build tools (Gradle, Maven, etc), with a strong preference for Gradle experience.</li>
<li>Experience working in a platform team or developer productivity team</li>
</ul><div><div><div><p>Compensation for this role is in the form of base salary.  This role does not have a variable compensation component.  </p>
<p>At Elastic, our compensation philosophy aims to provide fair, competitive and transparent remuneration. Salary ranges are established based on a combination of external market benchmarks, internal pay equity considerations, and the responsibilities and complexity associated with each role. This approach helps ensure consistency across comparable roles while remaining competitive within the relevant labour markets.</p>
<p>The final compensation offered within the applicable range will be determined based on several objective factors, including relevant professional experience, level of skills and expertise, alignment with the role requirements, and the overall scope and complexity of the position.</p></div><div>The typical starting salary range for this role is:</div><div><span>€67.000</span><span>—</span><span>€106.000 EUR</span></div></div></div><div><h2><strong>Additional Information - We Take Care of Our People</strong></h2>

It doesn’t matter if you’re just out of college or your children are; we need you for what you can do.</p>
<p>We strive to have parity of benefits across regions and while regulations differ from place to place, we believe taking care of our people is the right thing to do.</p>
