Role
Who you are
- An interest in working across a range of projects and programming languages, with a particular focus on Javascript, is essential
- Ideally, you will also have experience developing software in an open-source environment
- Prior experience with the Elastic product suite is not essential, but is beneficial
- Minimum 2 years of backend software engineering experience
- Recent working experience of at least one major programming language, such as Javascript
- Knowledge of developing software within an open-source environment
- Knowledge of industry best practices in software engineering
- A strong focus on usability and developer experience

- An understanding of core AI principles and LLMs
- Excellent communication, collaboration, and interpersonal skills
- A willingness to work as part of a remote, globally distributed team

What the job involves
- We are looking for a Software Engineer to join the Developer Tools Team
- In this role, you will bring your expertise in programming languages and ecosystems to our distributed team of engineers from various technical disciplines
- You will help build, maintain, and support client libraries and framework integrations
- The Developer Tools Team is primarily responsible for creating libraries, SDKs, and other tools that simplify the integration of the Elastic product suite into user applications
- Your role will involve developing and maintaining this software, engaging with developer communities, and contributing to both team-wide projects and cross-team collaborations
- You will be working on fully open sourced code that is embedded within user applications, so will need to understand the implications of writing software in the open, versioning and managing product releases, and interacting with users directly in a public setting
- You'll be developing, maintaining, and supporting libraries and third-party integrations for the Elastic Stack in Javascript
- You'll participate in the design and development of team-wide projects
- You'll support users through GitHub issues, forums, and official support channels
- You'll collaborate with maintainers of external projects (e.g., GenAI frameworks) to facilitate integration with the Elastic Stack
- You'll represent Elastic within relevant communities and ecosystems
Our take
Elastic develops the Elastic Stack, an open-source set of tools that includes Elasticsearch, Kibana, Beats, and Logstash, designed for data search and analysis. It also offers X-Pack, which adds commercial features to the Elastic Stack, and Elastic Cloud, a suite of SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) products.
This technology is widely used by major companies like eBay, Wikipedia, Yelp, Uber, Lyft, Tinder, and Netflix, along with over 17,000 other organizations. It is applied in various use cases, including application and website search, enterprise search, logging, infrastructure monitoring, application performance management (APM), security analytics (enhancing SIEM applications), and business analytics.
