Fullstack Software Engineer (Admin User Experience, Platform Applications)

• We’re looking for a Software Engineer II to join the Platform Admin UX team and help shape the experience for administrators across Elastic Cloud
• Design, build, and ship full-stack product features, from React UI through the backend services that support them
• Own end-to-end delivery across multiple product variants and environments, using feature flags to gate incomplete work and ensure every release remains stable and deployable
• Operate services in production: participate in the release rotation, triage alerts, and maintain continuous delivery and quality gates
• Collaborate with product management and UX/UI designers to ensure admin experiences align with business goals; translate design prototypes into polished, accessible interfaces
• Conduct code reviews that uphold engineering standards, drive architectural improvements, advocate for automated testing, and provide constructive feedback that raises quality across the team
• Keep the platform safe and current: review dependency upgrades, investigate security vulnerabilities, manage feature flags, and extend synthetic test coverage when behavior changes

Benefits

• Toast to your health: Fully paid health coverage for you and your family, in many locations.
• Craft your calendar: Flexible location and schedule for most roles.
• Create space for you: Distributed by design workforce, plus generous number of vacation days each year.
• Embrace parenthood: Minimum of 16 weeks of parental leave, plus generous family formation benefits.
• Give back your time: 40 hours each year to use toward volunteering with organizations and causes you’re passionate about.
• Amplify your impact: Double your charitable giving — we match donations up to $1500 USD (or local currency equivalent).- The ideal candidate is a full-stack engineer equally at home writing React components, designing backend services, and operating what they build once it’s live
• You can work autonomously, drive decisions and results in a distributed team by leveraging asynchronous, direct, and transparent communication
• You collaborate across functions and teams, shift fluidly between projects and codebases as priorities evolve, and have a proven track record of using AI tools to accelerate development — w
• Proven ownership of Node.js services in production: HTTP APIs, auth/session boundaries, configuration management, and debugging real incidents from logs, metrics, and traces
• 5+ years of full-stack development experience with React, TypeScript, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS
• Proficient with AI development tools (e.g. Cursor, Claude, or equivalent); you actively look for opportunities to accelerate your own workflow and the team’s — while maintaining code quality and owning the outcomes
• Experience with DevOps practices and tooling; comfort in a multi-environment, compliance-aware product matrix — recognizing blast radius and shipping carefully behind flags
• Comfortable with Redux-style state patterns and modern data-fetching, with sound judgment about sharing vs. specializing UI across product variants. Solid command of Git and version control workflows
• Testing discipline using React Testing Library (or equivalent) and E2E/synthetics for critical paths; you write tests that protect behavior across environments without blocking release velocity
• Solid communicator and collaborator: you write clearly, give constructive code reviews, mentor peers, and work successfully with product and design
• Operational maturity — you have been on-call for a user-facing service, used runbooks and SLOs, and treat continuous delivery, feature flags, and automated tests as first-class parts of the feature
• Eligible to work in Department of Defense (DoD) Impact Level 4 or above cloud service environments
