Role
Who you are
- The ideal candidate should have experience with front-end technologies plus an interest in CI/CD
- 3+ years working in a frontend-focused role with proven TypeScript and React depth across component architecture, performance, and state management
- Working proficiency in at least one of Node.js, Python, or Go
- Experience owning CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or equivalent) end-to-end, including front-end build tooling, bundle optimization, and deployment automation without a dedicated ops team
- A track record of building for high availability, security, and scalability at real production scale
- Ability to work autonomously in a globally distributed team
What the job involves
- Elastic.co is how Elastic talks to the world — it's where potential customers first encounter our products and where existing ones come to learn more
- As a Software Engineer II on the Web Engineering team you'll own meaningful parts of that experience: building the features, systems, and infrastructure that keep the site fast, reliable, and effective at scale
- You'll work closely with stakeholders across the company to ship features that improve the site's quality and performance in a distributed, async-first environment
- Develop and maintain the front-end stack from component design to deployment pipeline, and ship production code end-to-end
- Instrument client-side performance (Core Web Vitals, error tracking, real-user monitoring) alongside backend logging, metrics, tracing, alerting, and dashboards
- Partner with product managers, designers, and other developers to build, test, and release features for elastic.co
- Write clean, maintainable, and well-documented code
- Participate in code reviews for your team
- Diagnose and resolve production issues spanning client regressions to backend failures, and participate in an on-call rotation for an always-on service
Our take
Organizations are dealing with exploding data volumes increasingly sophisticated cyber threats, and the growing expectation tha ttechnology should help act on problems, not just report them. Ai is moving from experimentation into real operations, especially in security and observability where speed and context are critical. So now, both enterprises and governments are looking for simpler, shared platforms that sale easily and reduce complexity rather than add to it.
And Elastic sits at the intersection of these needs with its Search AI Platform that helps organizations turn large amounts of structured and unstructured data into clear insights and actiontions across search, security, and observability. Elastic's strength lies in its open, flexible approach, which breaks down data silos and provides a context people and AI systems need to make daster, better decisions. The goal is straightforward: help teams see what's happening, understand it quickly, and respond confidently.
Recently, the company worked with CISA to deliver a unified, cloud-based SIEM for US federal agencies, this highlights strong trust in Elastic's security and scalability. Alongside this, its AWS Agentic AI Specialization also reflects leadership in making autonomous AI system practical and reliable. Together, these milestones position Elastic well for the future, as organizations increasingly rely on shared platforms and intelligent systems to manage ris, complexity, and growth.
