What the job involves
- We are looking for a Senior 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 to build, maintain, and support client libraries and framework integrations
- An interest in working across a range of projects and programming languages, with a particular focus on C#/.NET and the wider Microsoft developer ecosystem is essential
- Ideally, you will also have experience developing software in an open-source environment
- 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
- Prior experience with the Elastic product suite is not essential, but is beneficial
- You'll be developing, maintaining, and supporting libraries and third-party integrations for the Elastic Stack, working in a mixture of languages including C#
- You'll participate in the design and development of team-wide projects

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.
