Senior Software Engineer (Security Integrations, Prompt Engineering)

• We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join the Integrations Platform team and build the tools that make engineers’ lives easier, both when they’re building integrations and when they’re pulling data together to actually make sense of it. This role is about developer experience: understanding what developers actually struggle with day to day, and building tools that remove that friction so they can move faster and get more done
• The Integrations Platform team owns the tooling that supports how integrations get built, deployed, and understood. That includes infrastructure and deployment tooling built on Terraform, telemetry pipelines running through BigQuery, and the AI-driven tools and evaluations we use to interpret that data and turn it into something people can actually act on. You’ll build and maintain these tools, listen closely to the engineers who rely on them, and take ownership of projects that span infrastructure, telemetry, and AI-assisted data interpretation, from first idea to shipped result
• This is fast-moving, often ambiguous work
• Lead green-field initiatives that shape the future of the developer experience for building and maintaining Security Integrations
• Architect and drive the tooling and automation strategy, leveraging Gen AI to solve problems at scale rather than one-off fixes
• Set a collaborative tone for the team by fostering open communication, mutual respect, and thoughtful decision-making, while mentoring engineers along the way
• Represent the team in the open, working closely with Security and Ingest teams, Elastic users, and the broader open source community to shape direction and build trust

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).- We are looking for someone who is comfortable operating without a fixed spec, listens thoughtfully, and collaborates well across teams
• You should drive effectively toward outcomes while supporting your teammates, bring clear ideas on what should be built, care about the developers using your tools, and feel equally comfortable working independently or alongside product teams and partners
• Prior experience with the Elastic product suite isn’t required, but it helps
• Experience building and running evals for AI systems at scale, with a strong sense of measuring output quality and catching regressions
• Strong proficiency in Python and Go, with hands-on Terraform for infrastructure and deployment, and BigQuery for telemetry and data analysis
• Proven ability to run projects end to end with autonomy, alongside the judgment to bring others along and seek input when needed
• Experience in cybersecurity
• Production experience with the general Elastic ingest model
• Experience parsing logs and events, ideally with exposure to OpenTelemetry, ECS, or OCSF in a security or observability context
