The Platform Engineering Productivity team operates the CI, CD, and Release infrastructure for the companyWe ensure developers can efficiently and safely deploy changes across our various environments and at scaleIn an age of AI, the landscape is evolving rapidly from scaling needs to, more than ever, securing our supply chainThere are interesting challenges to tackleWe’re looking for a proactive systems thinker who delivers on business-driven projects while identifying and driving the work that keeps our infrastructure ahead before scaling and security challenges become problemsIf you’re energized by work that makes every engineering team at Elastic ship faster and more securely, we’d love to hear from youDefine the roadmap and technical vision for CI/CD, from problem identification through org-wide adoptionIdentify where CI/CD is a bottleneck, a source of friction, or a security risk before it becomes an incident, and drive the remediation rather than waiting to be assigned itDesign and enforce release gates covering supply chain integrity, artifact provenance,



and release readiness, built to scale across teams without becoming a tax on engineering velocityDirect engineers on your team through complex, multi-quarter projects: break down the architecture, assign the work, and own the outcome even when the execution is distributedDrive clear technical communication and alignment across teams, and produce high-quality documentation for systems, processes, and architectural decisionsServe as Incident Commander on high-severity supply chain or release incidents, and use each incident as a forcing function for structural improvementsRaise the engineering bar across the org through code review, mentorship, design review, and by setting standards others adopt voluntarilyRemain hands-on at the right depth: you’ll review code, prototype approaches, and debug production issues, but your primary leverage at this level is through the work of others, not your own outputBenefits
