At Elastic, we have a simple goal: to solve the world's data problems with products that delight and inspire. As the company behind the popular open source projects — Elasticsearch, Kibana, Logstash, and Beats — we help people around the world do great things with their data. From stock quotes to Twitter streams, Apache logs to WordPress blogs, our products are extending what's possible with data, delivering on the promise that good things come from connecting the dots. Diversity drives our vibe. We unite Elasticians across 30+ countries into one coherent team, while the broader community spans across over 100 countries.
About The Role
You will provide senior technical and architectural leadership for Elastic’s Cloud team. In this role, you’ll analyze current system and architecture strengths and limitations, and provide technical thought leadership for improving our products and platform. You’ll take the lead in analyzing industry trends, and advocating for architectural and technology changes to take advantage of new technologies. Typical candidates for this role would have spent the last 5+ years in a technical leadership role for a large aaS product.
Engineering Philosophy
Engineering a highly complex distributed system that is easy to operate via elegantly designed APIs is a non-trivial effort. It requires solid software development skills, and more importantly, a sharp mind and the ability to think like a user. We also care deeply about giving you full ownership of what you’re working on. Our company fundamentally believes great minds achieve greatness when they are set free and are surrounded and challenged by their peers, which is clearly visible in our organization. At Elastic, we effectively don’t have a hierarchy to speak of. We feel that anyone needs to be in the position to comment on truly anything, regardless of his or her role within the company.

- Bring a pragmatic approach to our current technology stack, with an eye toward improving maintainability, testability, and reliability of our product offerings. Lead the effort to implement changes based on your analysis.
- Think holistically about our efforts towards how we measure and monitor our product success. This includes things like: What are our baseline performance characteristics?
