About the role
Elastic in Mountain View is seeking a backend engineer to help evolve and operate our IAM‐driven control plane services. You'll work on Kubernetes orchestration, distributed systems, and oncall reliability, delivering secure, scalable cloud and on‐prem tooling. You will collaborate across teams, write production‐grade code in JVM languages, and own incidents from detection to resolution while advancing automation and security practices.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
