What you'll do
- Build and evolve the Elastic MCP server and the infrastructure behind it, working primarily in Go
- Build the platform for universal agent skills: the portable format, the authoring and publishing tooling, and the linting that lets any team at Elastic ship a skill that runs across every agent
- Help set the correctness bar, making sure the skills and tools shipped are backed by evals rather than assumed to work
- Design and deliver integrations that make Elastic available inside third-party AI ecosystems, working closely with the product team and third-party partners

What we're looking for
- 8+ years of software engineering experience working on backend systems, services or libraries
- Proficiency with AI/ML frameworks and a working understanding of LLMs, agents, agent skills and protocols such as MCP
- Interest in proving correctness through evaluation rather than assuming it
- Significant recent working experience of Go
- Knowledge of client-server networking, HTTP, and RESTful APIs
- Comfort reading and contributing to codebases in languages you don't own, and no fear of picking up an unfamiliar one
- Knowledge of industry best practices in software engineering
- Product thinking: an interest in the wider ecosystem and strong opinions on what is worth building
- A strong focus on usability and developer experience
- Comfort with context-switching and with a space that changes quickly
- A genuine interest in technology and an active interest in exploring multiple programming languages
- Excellent communication, collaboration, and interpersonal skills, including in front of customers and external partners
- A willingness to work as part of a remote, globally distributed team
- Clear thinking, self-motivation, and the ability to learn and work independently
Nice to have
- Experience building or operating infrastructure, and an interest in telemetry and observability
- A connection to technical communities through open source projects, blogs or talks
- Experience working with third-party or partner engineering teams
- Prior experience of Elastic products
