Senior AI Researcher / Engineer - OpenSearch (ElasticSearch)

ControlUp is the market leader in IT platform for Monitoring, Self-healing and Analyzing customers’ virtual environments, creating solutions that save IT organizations time, money, and stress.
To become a ControlUper you must be a team player, a positive thinker, eager to learn and an obstacle crusher. 
If you’re looking to be part of a fast-growing, cutting edge technology company, join us for the ride and play a significant role in developing the next generation of ControlUp innovation.
ControlUp is looking for a high caliber, senior researcher or engineer to focus on expanding our solutions with artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning. This role requires strong technical skills but also a foundational understanding of AI, especially areas such as anomaly detection.

As a Senior AI Researcher / Engineer, you will:

• Become one of the thought leaders with respect to AI within our products.
• Research, design and develop capabilities which are new, cutting edge and exciting.
• Work with some of the newest technologies or capabilities.
• Tackle difficult problems.

Requirements:

• Extensive experience working with OpenSearch (ElasticSearch) and deep knowledge of the data-platform. This requirement is essential and will be tested in depth during an interview. Knowledge of areas such as indexing, sharding, mapping and the ElasticSearch query language are just a few areas that will be tested.
• Experience working with the broader ElasticSearch (ELK) stack such as Kibana.
• Experience working on and with web-based backend architectures such as REST, sockets, client-server.
• Comfortable working individually or in a team and can handle tasks without deep supervision.

Nice to Have:

• Existing experience with AI such as GPT, ML models and anomaly detection. This is not essential as we will look to hire someone who can learn these areas quickly but having experience already will be a significant lead.
• Experience developing with Java. This would be a big advantage, especially if you are capable of working on the open source OpenSearch codebase to add or modify capabilities that we could use.
• Experience with front-end development including TypeScript, React, HTML and CSS. This is not essential but it would be good for quick prototyping for example.
