You will work in a distributed team comprising experts from across the technical spectrum, including specialists in Java, PHP, Go, Python and Ruby.

The Clients Team are primarily responsible for developing client libraries that make it easy to integrate the Elastic product suite into user applications.

What you will be doing

• Developing and maintaining the official .NET client libraries for Elastic products
• Participating in the design and development of team-wide projects

• Knowledge and experience of industry best practices for software engineering
• A focus on usability, API design and developer experience
• Good knowledge of HTTP and RESTful APIs
