You will help build, maintain, and support client libraries and framework integrations. An interest in working across a range of projects and programming languages, with a particular focus on Golang, is essential. Ideally, you will also have experience developing software in an open-source environment.

You will be working on fully open sourced code that is embedded within user applications, so will need to understand the implications of writing software in the open, versioning and managing product releases, and interacting with users directly in a public setting.

• You'll be developing, maintaining, and supporting libraries and third-party integrations for the Elastic Stack in Golang
• You'll participate in the design and development of team-wide projects.
• You'll support users through GitHub issues, forums, and official support channels.
• You'll collaborate with maintainers of external projects (e.g., GenAI frameworks) to facilitate integration with the Elastic Stack.
• You'll represent Elastic within relevant communities and ecosystems.

• Minimum 2 years of backend software engineering experience.
• Recent working experience of at least one major programming language, such as Golang.
• Knowledge of developing software within an open-source environment.
• Knowledge of industry best practices in software engineering.
• A strong focus on usability and developer experience.
• A genuine interest in technology and an active interest in exploring multiple programming languages.
• An understanding of core AI principles and LLMs.
• Excellent communication, collaboration, and interpersonal skills.
• A willingness to work as part of a remote, globally distributed team.
• Clear thinking, self-motivation, and the ability to learn and work independently

We strive to have parity of benefits across regions, and while regulations differ from place to place, we believe taking care of our people is the right thing to do.

• 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 a minimum of 16 weeks of parental leave
