We’re always on the search for amazing people. People who have a deep passion for technology and are masters at their craft. We build highly sophisticated distributed systems and we don’t take our technology lightly. At Elastic you’ll have the opportunity to work in a vibrant young company next to some of the smartest and highly skilled technologists the industry has to offer. We’re looking for great team players but we also promote independence and ownership. We’re hackers… The good kind. The kind that innovates and creates cutting edge products that eventually translates to a lot of happy smiling faces.

Elastic’s Support team is unlike any other on Earth: while we are spread across 12 time zones and 15 countries we operate as a unit as a family. We are massively distributed yet lovingly intimate. The service we deliver is caring empathetic and human yet ambitious direct and comprehensive. We don’t do it alone as we are tightly integrated with our core developers in a way that is real genuine and never taken for granted. Our team is a dream for someone seeking honest hard work and rewards. It is a nightmare for anyone afraid to ask questions or be questioned — always forward never backward. We are not trying to change the world we already have. We’re just waiting for everyone else to catch up. We have our good days and our not so good days and we face them together as a family. We listen. We solve. We guide. We get it. And we’re excited to bring on a new team member to love.
