Platform Observability & Analytics runs the infrastructure that tells Elastic the truth about its own platform The observability clusters show Cloud engineers how production is behaving right now, and the analytics pipelines show the business how the platform and the products get used over time

This role sits on the observability side. We run 200+ hosted deployments across every supported cloud region, ingesting logs, metrics and traces for all of Elastic Cloud, plus the SLA and SLO monitoring for ESS and Serverless

When Cloud engineering needs to know what production is doing, they’re looking at something we run

Owning end-to-end delivery of moderate-to-high complexity projects on the team’s roadmap, with minimal day-to-day direction

Operating and hardening shared Elastic Cloud infrastructure (ECH, ECE, and ECK) as Infrastructure as Code - writing and reviewing the Terraform, Python, and Go that other engineers depend on

Carrying a 24/7 on-call rotation: responding to incidents, driving them to resolution, and writing clear RCAs/postmortems that lead to lasting fixes rather than repeat pages

Reviewing others’ code and designs, and being a trusted second set of eyes on production changes to critical infrastructure

Mentoring less experienced engineers, and proactively raising risks, ideas, and improvements in team discussions

Improving runbooks, documentation, and operational processes so the on-call load gets lighter over time

Strong software engineering fundamentals in Python; comfort with Go is a plus

Comfort working across time zones, in both real-time and asynchronous contexts

Comfort thinking about the security implications of the infrastructure you build, not just its reliability - you don't need to be a security specialist, but you default to a security-conscious mindset

Experience carrying a 24/7 on-call rotation, resolving incidents under pressure, and writing RCAs that hold up under review

Clear written and verbal communication - you document what you build and can explain it to both engineers and non-engineers A pattern of mentoring less experienced engineers and speaking up with ideas and concerns in team discussions

Proficiency with Terraform; comfortable owning large, multi-workspace configurations in a team setting

Deep Linux systems knowledge and experience operating containerized workloads in production

Experience with the Elastic Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Beats, Kibana) in production

Experience with GitOps-style deployment tooling (ArgoCD, Helm) or policy-as-code frameworks (e.g., Kyverno) on Kubernetes

Experience with secrets management (Vault) or access-control/bastion tooling (Teleport)

Experience with configuration management tools (e.g., Puppet, Ansible) at fleet scale

Exposure to FedRAMP, GovCloud, or other regulated/compliance-driven infrastructure
