Cloud - Backend Engineer - Deployment Monitoring

Elastic, we see endless possibility in a world of endless data. And we use the power of search to help people and organizations turn that possibility into results. Elastic is the leading platform for search-powered solutions. With solutions in Enterprise Search, Observability, and Security, we help improve customer and employee search experiences, keep critical applications running smoothly, and protect against cyber threats. Elastic enables organizations worldwide to use the power of Elastic, including Netflix, Uber, BBC, Microsoft, and thousands of others.

Elastic was built on a foundation of being free and open, which trickles down to how we work. We’re a distributed organization and have been from the beginning. Being distributed isn’t just a way of doing business—it’s a mentality that is at the core of our culture.

The Deployment Monitoring team builds solutions that help our customers identify, prevent, and resolve deployment health issues on Elastic Cloud. We achieve this by providing customers and platform operators with visibility into deployment health, building self-service tools and diagnostics, and by reducing the impact of issues through proactive monitoring and remediation.
