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. The Elastic Search AI Platform, used by more than 50% of the Fortune 500, brings together the precision of search and the intelligence of AI to enable everyone to accelerate the results that matter. 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.
The Observability team is developing and providing solutions to application developers and engineers that run infrastructure and services supporting these applications. Elasticsearch is an efficient datastore for logs, metrics, application traces and profiling data. The Observability team builds and maintains solutions that make getting insights from this data turnkey and efficient, such as our APM, Infrastructure Monitoring, Logs and Universal Profiling solutions. When developing these solutions, we think about the problem end-to-end: how do we automatically collect data from common data sources, how do we store it efficiently in Elasticsearch, how do we present this information to the user, what actions do we take on the insights from the data? All of these aspects are important in bringing a turnkey solution to the market.
As a Go Engineer in the Observability - Ingest - Intake Services team, you will be part of a team developing high quality observability products that are essential to the ingest flow of the Elastic Observability solution. The team’s main focus is on building and maintaining backend intake service components for cloud managed and on-prem deployments, and owning operational stability through extensive monitoring and SLOs. We have a focus on quality, performance, reliability, security and testability, as well as automation and continuous improvements.
We build components and services that receive and validate signals from various edge collectors, such as Elastic APM, OpenTelemetry SDKs, as well as profiling agents, and transform them into Elasticsearch documents. The intake service components control the amount of data flowing into Elasticsearch and can buffer data temporarily without adding overhead to the edge applications using queues.
We appreciate community contributions, and as such, engaging with the open source community is also an important part of this role.
You’ll be collaborating with immediate team colleagues and across team boundaries. The team is diverse and distributed across the world, and collaborates on a daily basis over GitHub, Zoom, and Slack.
As a distributed company, diversity drives our identity. Whether you’re looking to launch a new career or grow an existing one, Elastic is the type of company where you can balance great work with great life. Your age is only a number. It doesn’t matter if you’re just out of college or your children are; we need you for what you can do.
