About Elastic

Elastic, the Search AI Company, enables everyone to find the answers they need 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 the precision of search and the intelligence of AI. Elastic's complete, cloud-based solutions for search, security, and observability help organizations deliver on the promise of AI.

Role Overview

Join the InfoSec - Security Architecture team as a Senior Information Security Infrastructure Engineer, where you'll play a key role in protecting the organization's data and systems. You will own the security telemetry 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.

Responsibilities

  • Build and maintain ingestion of security-relevant data into Elasticsearch (cloud provider audit logs, identity/SaaS activity, endpoint and asset data), integrating 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, monitor and upgrade them regularly, manage capacity and shards, handle index lifecycle management (ILM), and enable 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 or agent-assisted workflows for investigation and operations.
  • Own data quality and reliability: monitor backfills, ensure schemas and fields are consistent, and keep an eye on costs.

Qualifications

  • 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, while still owning the final outcomes.
  • 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

  • Hands-on 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, including the use of security telemetry during investigations.
  • Ability to develop and use dashboard/visualization tools.

Compensation & Benefits

The typical starting salary range for this role is 307 800 zł—485 000 zł PLN. This role does not have a variable compensation component.
