You will collaborate with other senior engineers to enhance existing features and resolve bugs, ensuring a high-quality user experience. You will also contribute to the development of a new query language called ES|QL, which will enable users to perform complex queries efficiently.

You will participate in code reviews and provide mentorship to junior engineers, fostering a culture of learning and improvement within the team.
