What Is The Role
We are looking for a
Full stack Software Engineer
to help us provide a seamless, accurate, and transparent billing experience for our customers, supporting various channels and offerings. 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.

Billing sits at the
core of Elastic's business strategy
, enabling growth through capabilities such as
usage-based metering, consumption billing, and marketplace integrations
. We build and operate the systems that manage the entire billing lifecycle — from collecting millions of usage data points across distributed environments, to calculating customer charges and exposing this information through APIs and user interfaces.

Within Platform Billing, the
Billing Experience (BEX)
team focuses on the
customer-facing layer
of our billing systems. We own the
public and internal APIs
, as well as the
billing and account experiences
within Elastic Cloud consoles. Our goal is to make it
easy, accurate, and intuitive
for customers and internal partners, to understand and manage their billing data.

• 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 Bring

• Proven experience (3+ years) with a track record of delivering full stack apps (Python, Postgres, React and Typescript)
• 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.
