Senior Software Engineer -Observability, Managed Inputs
Elastic, the Search AI Company, enables everyone to find the answers they need in real time, using all their data, at scale — unleashing the potential of businesses and people. By taking advantage of all structured and unstructured data — securing and protecting private information more effectively — Elastic’s complete, cloud-based solutions for search, security, and observability help organizations deliver on the promise of AI.
As part of the Observability organization and inside the Streams program, the Managed Inputs team builds high-performing backend ingestion pipelines. We collect telemetry across diverse environments—including Elastic Agents, agentless setups, OpenTelemetry collectors, and cloud sources via Elastic Cloud Forwarders—then process and store this information to power seamless, intuitive user experiences within Kibana.
Elastic's Streams program is the unified platform for getting data into Elasticsearch from edge collection all the way through cloud processing. We accept any type of data generated at the edge (Elastic Agent, Elastic Classic APM Agents, Beats, any OTel SDK…) and we process and route the data to several destinations.
We are building strong backend solutions for ingesting observability data. Our core focus is on building a performant, reliable, scalable, secure and maintainable backend that fulfills product requirements. We take responsibility for what we build, and therefore are also responsible for keeping the system running, and ensuring reliable quality gates and safe deployment mechanisms, as well as assisting in support cases.
