Elastic, the Search AI Company, enables everyone to find the answers they need in real time, using all their data, at scale — unleashing the potential of businesses and people. The Elastic Search AI Platform, used by more than 50% of the Fortune 500, brings together the precision of search and the intelligence of AI to enable everyone to accelerate the results that matter. By taking advantage of all structured and unstructured data — securing and protecting private information more effectively — Elastic’s complete, cloud-based solutions for search, security, and observability help organizations deliver on the promise of AI.
What is The Role:
Elastic's Platform team is responsible for Elastic's core "Stack" across Elasticsearch, Kibana, Beats, and Logstash. With its scalable and flexible platform, Elastic supports hybrid, public, private, and multi-cloud deployments, making it a trusted partner for over 20,000 customers worldwide. In addition to its core use case of enabling developers to build search functionally into their applications, the Elastic platform powers a complete observability solution (including logs, metrics, trace, profiling, and more), a complete security analytics platform (including SIEM, EDR, and cloud security), and a generative AI development stack (including a vector database, inference services, retrieval services, and more).
We are looking for an experienced technology leader to join the Platform team to help us evolve our core Elasticsearch and ES|QL technologies. These are foundational to the flexibility, performance, and scale of Elastic's platform usage in service of our solutions. If you are a deeply technical, hands-on technical leader; focused on database, data language, or data store problems; and with experience leading a breadth of customer facing efforts in large, complex environments, we want to hear from you!
