At a glance
- Work mode
- Remote
What you'll do
- Build and maintain ingestion of security-relevant data into Elasticsearch (cloud provider audit logs, identity/SaaS activity, endpoint and asset data)
- Integrate with third-party and cloud provider APIs to pull telemetry: auth, pagination, rate limits, and handling schema changes, both Elastic integrations and one-off custom integrations
- Keep the Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes clusters healthy; monitor and upgrade them regularly, updating versions and builds
- 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 and 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
What we're looking for
- Ability to operate Elastic and Elasticsearch in production, including managing ingest pipelines, index templates, mappings, and queries, while ensuring clusters are healthy and upgraded
- 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: 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)
Nice to have

- 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
