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:

Kibana is the UI and frontend for everything we do at Elastic. It is the application platform that powers our Elastic Observability, Security, and Search Solutions. It provides building blocks and user experiences that delight our users, accelerate development, and optimize our operations. Deployed both in the cloud and on-premises, it is one of the largest open-source projects, used to answer millions of complex questions with large data sets at scale.

What You Will Be Doing:

• You'll be part of a close knit team of great engineers who mentor, support, and challenge each other.
• You will write code that underpins Kibana success and the Search, Observability, and Security solutions, while collaborating with other Operations, Engineering, and Documentation teams.
• Assist in delivering a scalable cloud offering, working across everything from a few Elasticsearch clusters and Kibana instances to many thousands.
• Work on a codebase that consists of UX, APIs, and services, both on the client and server side.

What You Bring:

• At least 3 years of web application development experience.
• Knowledgeable with some combination of JavaScript, TypeScript, and Node.js, and willing to learn those that are missing.
• Ability to work with a worldwide team in a distributed work environment.
• Passionate about JavaScript or web development in general.
• Bonus: Go experience.
