About the team, project and role:
Elastic Cloud is a fully managed service for the Elastic Stack, Security, Observability, and Enterprise Search solutions, and we’re looking for a technical leader to join our Kubernetes team.
Our journey with Kubernetes started back in 2018 when we released official Helm charts and joined CNCF. Roughly a year later, we took it to the next level and launched a dedicated operator with the goal for it to be the best way to run the Elastic Stack on K8s, if you don’t mind opening a terminal and writing a CRD. The operator is now mature and we are ready to take it even further: a product we call Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes (ECK) that allows our customers to offer a UI based, fully interactive way to run Elastic’s software on their K8s clusters. Our goal for ECK is to be able to run a global SaaS offering, at Elastic Cloud scale - multiple cloud providers (AWS, GCP, Azure, and more) with a presence in dozens of regions.
And right now, we are looking for a seasoned engineer to join and lead the technical aspects, including strategy and design, of the project. Expect to manage projects across several sub teams and coordinate efforts. This role will be in direct line of sight to our leadership and you will have a task in communicating progress and status to stakeholders.
