How you will make an impact:

Our Data In Flight (DIF) team owns the core pipelines that ingest and route user and event data into Iterable, powering identity, segmentation, and real-time personalization. We are building a multi-tenant data platform that application teams can build on top of, with clear contracts, SLOs, and guardrails. Our product and our Elasticsearch clusters are multi-tenant, and we run Elasticsearch on Kubernetes using Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes (ECK).

We’re looking for a Staff Software Engineer with a track record of operating Elasticsearch-backed data platforms in multi-tenant SaaS. You’ll be a hands-on IC who both designs distributed systems and acts as a platform “product owner” for app teams: understanding their needs, shaping the platform roadmap, and defining stable interfaces between product and data infrastructure.

How you will make an impact:

• Own and evolve core Data In Flight services (ingestion, user and event APIs, identity, system events) with a focus on reliability, performance, and cost.
• Lead the Elasticsearch strategy for our multi-tenant live user and event data: index and mapping design, shard strategy, and safeguards across shared clusters.
• Design and enforce platform contracts (APIs, data models, SLAs, and usage limits) that let product teams move quickly while keeping the data platform safe and scalable.
• Work across other data and application teams on initiatives such as Elasticsearch upgrades, guardrails, resharding, and event retention.

• Mentor engineers on distributed systems, data modeling, and pragmatic use of Elasticsearch.

What you'll bring:

You likely have many of the experiences below, but not necessarily all of them:

• Hands-on Elasticsearch expertise in production:
• Supporting customer-facing features or platforms backed by ES
• Designing schemas and queries for high-cardinality, multi-tenant workloads
• Operating large clusters (capacity planning, scaling, incident response)
• Multi-tenant platform experience:
• Building shared data services used by multiple product teams
• Implementing rate limits, quotas, and noisy-neighbor protections
• Thinking in terms of contracts and SLOs, not one-off integrations
• Strong distributed systems background:
• JVM-based services (Scala/Java) and event-driven or streaming architectures
• Comfort with modern cloud infrastructure (AWS or similar), messaging, and caches
• Staff-level impact and collaboration:
• Leading cross-team projects from design through rollout
• Translating technical decisions into clear business and product trade-offs
• Clear written communication (RFCs, design docs, post-incident reviews)

Nice To Have:

• Experience with Scala and the Play framework or similar JVM stacks.
• Prior work on core user data platforms (identity, profile stores, event pipelines, or CDP-like systems).
• Exposure to FinOps / infra cost optimization in data-heavy systems.
• Experience in MarTech / AdTech or other high-volume, low-latency data domains.

You will design and implement the underlying components that support rich, intelligent interactions in the Iterable platform.

You will work closely with backend, frontend, and product teams to shape how Machine Learning is introduced and maintained across the company. The work blends hands-on engineering with system design, and is ideal for someone who can drive complex efforts independently, make practical architectural decisions, and collaborate in a fast-moving, cross-functional product environment.

Responsibilities:

• Design and build Machine Learning platform components that support agentic systems, including retrieval pipelines, indexing strategies, and model integration layers.
• Introduce and operationalize RAG use cases, from data sourcing and embedding generation to runtime retrieval patterns.
