Podium
At Podium, Data Ops Engineers are crucial in maintaining smooth data flow and system reliability. They work with tools like Elasticsearch, Kafka, RabbitMQ, Redis, and PostgreSQL to optimize performance, automate infrastructure, and support AI projects for local businesses. The role requires 3+ years of experience with data stores, deep expertise in Elasticsearch, cloud proficiency (AWS preferred), and automation skills using Terraform and Ansible. Podium offers a comprehensive benefits package including health insurance, paid leave, 401k matching, swag drops, gym access, and child care support.
The Role
At Podium, our Data Ops Engineers are the ultimate protectors of data flow, ensuring everything runs smoothly like a well-oiled machine. Think of this role as a mix of a data wizard and a system superhero, keeping our data systems fast, reliable, and ready to handle anything. You’ll be joining a team of passionate engineers who geek out over large-scale data systems and are always on the lookout for new ways to innovate. We take pride in owning tools like Elasticsearch, Kafka, RabbitMQ, and Redis, and collaborate closely with PostgreSQL engineers and the SRE team to keep things running flawlessly.
But that’s not all – you’ll also play a crucial role in supporting Podium’s efforts to build cutting-edge AI agents for local businesses. Your work will directly impact how these businesses interact with customers, using AI to transform their operations and drive growth.
What you will work on:
Owning Elasticsearch, and jumping in on Kafka, RabbitMQ, Redis, and whatever cool data technologies come our way.
Supporting our engineering teams with all things Elasticsearch – from index design to performance optimization.
Rolling out new features and tackling upgrades like a pro.
Keeping a close eye on data health with metrics, observability, and planning for the future.
Squeezing out every drop of performance through tuning and capacity planning (we’ve got fun tools like Rally for testing).
Automating everything with Terraform and Ansible – because who doesn’t love Infrastructure-as-Code?
Sharing the love by evangelizing best practices with the broader engineering teams.
Rotating on-call – because, let’s face it, data never sleeps!
Contributing to our AI agent projects by ensuring the underlying data systems are rock-solid and scalable.
What we’re looking for:
You’ve been around the block with data stores (3+ years of experience).
Elasticsearch is your jam – you’ve got 2+ years of deep experience, especially on the search side (not just log ingestion). You know index design, configuration, performance tuning, and all the bells and whistles.
You’ve handled Elasticsearch at scale, supporting search-heavy applications.
Comfort with the open-source version of Elasticsearch – no vendor support, no problem!
Cloud-savvy (AWS preferred), and experience automating infrastructure with tools like Terraform and Ansible.
You thrive in fast-paced, startup environments, and you’re ready to move fast, but smart.
Bonus points if you have:
Hands-on experience with a variety of data technologies.
Experience building multi-regional Elasticsearch setups.
Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines (GitLab CI is a plus).
Worked with Kafka Streams, KSQL, and Kafka Connect.
Dabbled in Elixir, or have experience with ES or PG vector search.
