Senior Product Manager Search jobs at Elastic

You’ll bring deep hands-on expertise in designing, deploying, and optimizing search platforms—ranging from traditional Elasticsearch-based Enterprise Search to modern semantic and vector search architectures (e.g., embeddings, RAG, hybrid search systems). You should be comfortable operating in cloud-native environments (AWS/Azure/GCP), implementing robust indexing pipelines, tuning search relevance, and scaling for performance and cost-efficiency.

• Architect and implement advanced Enterprise Search , Vector Search , and Semantic/RAG systems for large-scale deployments.
• Develop and implement Technical Success Plans tailored to each customer, covering indexing pipelines, query relevance (e.g., recall@k, latency), vector similarity performance, and adoption metrics.
• Lead the full customer lifecycle: onboarding, proof-of-concept (POC), rollout, adoption, escalation, and expansion.
• Design RAG and semantic search workflows using embedding models (LLM, ELSER, Hugging Face, LangChain, etc.).
• Optimize search relevance and performance: tuning indices, scaling clusters, running vectors, and conducting A/B tests.
• Partner with Sales, Pre‑Sales, Services, and Support to align technical strategy and customer satisfaction.
• Monitor usage, diagnose adoption gaps, and proactively propose expansions and upsells aligned with ARR goals.

• 8–12+ years building and operating enterprise search systems , including vector and semantic search.
• Strong experience with Elastic or similar platforms: Elasticsearch, Pinecone, Qdrant, Milvus, Weaviate.
• Authority in embedding‑based retrieval, LLM integration, RAG pipelines, and vector database architecture.
• Consistent track record of designing scalable, performant search infrastructure on cloud platforms (AWS/Azure/GCP).
• Excellent communicator able to present technical designs and business impact to both technical and executive audiences.
• Data-driven mentality: adept at measuring search performance (e.g., latency, throughput, recall) and acting on insights.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field. Previous roles in Solution Architecture, Pre‑Sales Engineering, or Customer Success focused on search/AI applications.

• Hands-on experience with RAG systems , chat/search applications, and open-source contributions.
• Understanding of vector database internals: ANN algorithms, indexing strategies, recall/precision evaluation.
• Familiarity with embedding model tuning and search relevance optimization frameworks.
