elastic.co is how Elastic talks to the world — it's where potential customers first encounter our products and where existing ones come to learn more. As a Software Engineer II on the Web Engineering team you'll own meaningful parts of that experience: building the features, systems, and infrastructure that keep the site fast, reliable, and effective at scale. The ideal candidate is a full-stack engineer who is equally comfortable writing React components, designing backend services, shipping to production, and owning what they build once it's live — including on-call response and security triage. You'll work closely with stakeholders across the company to ship features that improve the site's quality and performance in a distributed, async-first environment.

• Own features across the full stack from component design and backend services to deployment pipelines and ship production code end-to-end.
• Instrument client-side performance (Core Web Vitals, error tracking, real-user monitoring) alongside backend logging, metrics, tracing, alerting, and dashboards.
• Partner with product managers, designers, and other developers to build, test, and release features for elastic.co.
• Write clean, maintainable code and take ownership for its behavior in production.
• Triage, investigate, and resolve security vulnerability reports — from reproduction and root-cause analysis to fix, validation, and coordinated disclosure.
• Participate in code reviews for your team.
• Diagnose and resolve production issues spanning client regressions to backend failures, and participate in an on-call rotation for an always-on service.

• 3+ years in a full-stack or frontend role, with proven TypeScript and React depth (component architecture, performance, state management) and hands-on backend experience shipping and operating production services.
• Production experience with Node.js, Python, or Go — enough to build, deploy, debug, and maintain backend services independently.
• Experience owning CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or equivalent) end-to-end, including front-end build tooling, bundle optimization, and deployment automation without a dedicated ops team.
• A proven track record of using AI to accelerate development, debug complex systems, and optimize code, while still owning the final outcomes.
• Experienced in building for high availability and scalability at real production scale, including writing secure code, identifying vulnerabilities, and resolving security issues under pressure.
• Ability to work autonomously in a globally distributed team.

Compensation for this role is in the form of base salary. This role does not have a variable compensation component. The typical starting salary range for this role is: €55.800—€88.300 EUR.

• Competitive pay based on the work you do here and not your previous salary
• Health coverage for you and your family in many locations
• Ability to craft your calendar with flexible locations and schedules for many roles
• Generous number of vacation days each year
• Increase your impact - We match up to $2000 (or local currency equivalent) for financial donations and service
• Up to 40 hours each year to use toward volunteer projects you love
• Embracing parenthood with minimum of 16 weeks of parental leave
