What is The Role
We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Docs Engineering Team. In this role, you will bring your technical expertise to our distributed team in order to build, maintain, and support our documentation platform, tooling and pipelines. You will also work alongside a variety of stakeholders to understand business needs, plan and design solutions, and rollout and promote systems and processes.

Versatility and an interest in working across a range of projects and programming languages is essential. We are looking for a formidable systems thinker, a polyglot engineer who views programming languages as tools rather than identities. Someone who knows how to build software using the right methods, both established and new, and who has a drive to improve efficiency and automation through intelligent and informed choices.

The Docs Engineering Team is responsible for making available documentation to both internal and external users across the entire Elastic ecosystem. We do this by providing utilities, platforms and processes by which documentation can be authored, organized and delivered in both traditional and emerging ways. So as part of our Docs Engineering Team, you won't just be maintaining a platform, you'll be building the sophisticated tooling and pipelines that deliver documentation to the world.

You will have the autonomy to help lead the effort in redefining how technical documentation is authored and delivered. If you are a self‑motivated engineer who enjoys solving high‑level architectural puzzles and isn't afraid to get their hands dirty across different stacks, we want to talk to you.
