Principal Software Engineer I
- CI/CD
- Platform Engineering Productivity Spain 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. What Is The Role : The Platform Engineering Productivity team operates the CI, CD, and Release infrastructure for the company. We'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 problems. If you're energized by work that makes every engineering team at Elastic ship faster and more securely, we'd love to hear from you. Identify 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 it. Design and enforce release gates covering supply chain integrity, artifact provenance, and release readiness, built to scale across teams without becoming a tax on engineering velocity. Direct 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 distributed. Drive clear technical communication and alignment across teams,



and produce high-quality documentation for systems, processes, and architectural decisions. Raise the engineering bar across the org through code review, mentorship, design review, and by setting standards others adopt voluntarily. What You Bring : Deep expertise in CI/CD and what it takes to harden a release pipeline against supply chain attacks. Strong debugging instincts across the full pipeline stack: you trace failures from test runner to artifact store to cluster deployment without needing a specialist for each layer. Hands-on with CI infrastructure (Buildkite, GitHub Actions, or equivalent), GitOps/ArgoCD, and Kubernetes. The judgment to push back on a prescribed plan when it's the wrong call, and the credibility to get alignment on a better approach.
