Elastic - Senior Site Reliability Engineer (Observability & Analytics) – Platform Infra
Requirements
• 5+ years of SRE, platform engineering, or infrastructure engineering experience • Proficiency with Terraform; comfortable owning large, multi-workspace configurations in a team setting • Strong software engineering fundamentals in Python; comfort with Go is a plus. • Deep Linux systems knowledge and experience operating containerized workloads in production. • Experience carrying a 24/7 on-call rotation, resolving incidents under pressure, and writing RCAs that hold up under review. • A track record of consistently delivering end-to-end projects of moderate-to-high complexity with minimal oversight, and being a valuable code/design reviewer for your team. • Comfort thinking about the security implications of the infrastructure you build, not just its reliability – you don’t need to be a security specialist, but you default to a security-conscious mindset. • A pattern of mentoring less experienced engineers and speaking up with ideas and concerns in team discussions. • Clear written and verbal communication – you document what you build and can explain it to both engineers and non-engineers. • Comfort working across time zones, in both real-time and asynchronous contexts. • Experience with the Elastic Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Beats, Kibana) in production. • Experience with GitOps-style deployment tooling (ArgoCD, Helm) or policy-as-code frameworks (e.g., Kyverno) on Kubernetes. • Experience with secrets management (Vault) or access-control/bastion tooling (Teleport). • Experience with configuration management tools (e.g., Puppet, Ansible) at fleet scale. • Exposure to FedRAMP, GovCloud, or other regulated/compliance-driven infrastructure. • Additional Information - We Take Care of Our People: • As a distributed company, diversity drives our identity. Whether you’re looking to launch a new career or grow an existing one, Elastic is the type of company where you can balance great work with great life. Your age is only a number. It doesn’t matter if you’re just out of college or your children are; we need you for what you can do. • 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
Responsibilities
• Owning end-to-end delivery of moderate-to-high complexity projects on the team’s roadmap, with minimal day-to-day direction. • Operating and hardening shared Elastic Cloud infrastructure (ECH, ECE, and ECK) as Infrastructure as Code – writing and reviewing the Terraform, Python, and Go that other engineers depend on. • Carrying a 24/7 on-call rotation: responding to incidents, driving them to resolution, and writing clear RCAs/postmortems that lead to lasting fixes rather than repeat pages. • Reviewing others’ code and designs, and being a trusted second set of eyes on production changes to critical infrastructure. • Mentoring less experienced engineers, and proactively raising risks, ideas, and improvements in team discussions. • Improving runbooks, documentation, and operational processes so the on-call load gets lighter over time.
