About the job
About Elastic
Elastic, the Search AI Company, enables everyone to find answers in real time using all their data at scale. The Elastic Search AI Platform, used by more than 50% of the Fortune 500, brings together search and AI for search, security, and observability solutions.
The Role
Join the InfoSec - Security Architecture team as a Senior Information Security Infrastructure Engineer. You will play a key role in protecting the organization's data and systems by ingesting security telemetry into Elasticsearch and keeping the underlying Elastic clusters healthy. You own the pipeline end to end: from new security data sources landing, through ingest pipelines, into the indices that detection, IR, and consulting teams query, plus the clusters that store it all.
What You Will Be Doing
- Build and maintain ingestion of security-relevant data into Elasticsearch (cloud provider audit logs, identity/SaaS activity, endpoint and asset data).
- Integrate with third-party and cloud provider APIs to pull telemetry, handling auth, pagination, rate limits, and schema changes.
- Keep Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes clusters healthy, including monitoring, upgrading versions, managing capacity and shards, index lifecycle management (ILM), and cross-cluster search (CCS).
- Use Terraform to manage cloud infrastructure and Elasticsearch resources, including pipelines, index templates, and alerts.
- Utilize Kubernetes and Helm to deploy scheduled ingest jobs.
- Use AI automation and tooling to reduce toil, including self-healing jobs, health checks, alerting, internal CLIs, and AI/agent-assisted workflows.
- Own data quality and reliability: monitor backfills, ensure schema and field consistency, and keep an eye on costs.
What You Bring
- Ability to operate Elastic and Elasticsearch in production, including managing ingest pipelines, index templates, mappings, and queries, while ensuring clusters are healthy and upgraded.
- Experience with ECK or Elasticsearch on Kubernetes is strongly preferred.
- Proven track record of using AI to accelerate development, debug complex systems, and accelerate operations.
- Kubernetes: deploying and operating workloads (scheduled jobs, Helm charts, operators); troubleshooting pods/jobs in a cluster.
- Terraform: managing cloud and Elasticsearch resources as code.
- API integration: consuming REST APIs for data ingestion, including authentication, pagination, rate limiting concurrency, and error handling.
- Python scripting: able to read, write, and modify ingestion/automation scripts (scripting-level, not full software-engineering depth).
Bonus Points
- Experience with cloud providers, preferably GCP, and working with audit and logging data.
- Knowledge of GitHub, PR-based workflows, GitHub Actions, and Continuous Integration (CI).
- Knowledge of SOC operations and incident response (IR) workflows.
- Ability to develop and use dashboard/visualization tools.
