About the job

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 cloud-based solutions for search, security, and observability help organizations deliver on the promise of AI.

The Role

The Security EDR Workflows team builds core capabilities that power the Elastic Defend management experience, including policy configuration, response actions, and OSquery forensics. As a Senior Software Engineer, you will design and build workflows and user-facing capabilities for the Elastic Defend agent, collaborating with security engineering, product, and design teams.

What You Will Be Doing

  • Design and implement features that power Elastic Defend user interface capabilities.
  • Build and evolve APIs for interacting with Elastic Defend data.
  • Contribute to the architecture of Elastic Defend management and response actions framework, along with OSquery forensics capabilities.
  • Develop scalable, high-performance systems within the Elastic ecosystem.
  • Own reliability, observability, and operational health of features from design to production.
  • Write production-grade code in TypeScript/Node.js (and potentially other languages).
  • Collaborate with other engineering teams on cross-team efforts.
  • Help improve engineering standards, tooling, and team processes driven by AI usage.
  • Participate in code reviews and technical design decisions.
  • Use AI to supercharge development work.

What You Bring

  • Solid programming experience in TypeScript/Node.js and React.js.
  • Ability to take ownership of problems end-to-end: from clarifying requirements and proposing designs to delivering, monitoring, and iterating in production.
  • AI-powered development mindset.
  • Initiative-taking mindset: ask the right questions, don't make assumptions, and look for ways to improve both product and engineering processes.
  • Solid communication skills and ability to explain complex technical topics to both technical and non-technical partners.
  • Comfortable developing collaboratively, giving and receiving feedback on code and approaches, even asynchronously across timezones.

Bonus Points

  • Experience and interest in contributing to or developing open-source projects.
  • Knowledge of the Elastic stack and solutions.
  • Experience in cybersecurity and forensics.
