If you are interested in search you might find the CirrusSearch extension, which leverages elasticsearch to provide search in production interesting. We use this to power search over 2.5TB of wiki content (9TB including replicas).
There are many possible things to work on that could be interesting. See https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/cirrussearch/ for a wide variety of ideas that could be worked on. If you have any questions reply here, or drop by our irc room, #wikimedia-discovery. There are people around perhaps 18 hours a day during European and American hours that might be able to point you in the right direction.
