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.

- 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.
