Field Software Engineer

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 Field Engineering team is responsible for developing and maintaining a custom platform centered on customer content (knowledge base, training docs, etc), GenAI assistants and technical support cases. Internally our applications use Elasticsearch (of course, right?), where we are putting SEARCH at its core to tackle problems at an enterprise-level scale. Using data from across the business, we are personalizing the experience for our customers and internal collaborators more than other out-of-the-box platforms. We process hundreds of cases a day, automatically analyzing for known issues, process global case routing, content management, and so much more.

Are you a developer looking to make a difference? This is a perfect opportunity to join a team that is doing that every day.

What You Will Be Doing:

• Develop frontend and backend code (depending on the use case), mostly in Typescript, Node.js, and React. This can vary by project and/or developer affinity during the planning cycle
• Team up with other Software Engineers to assist with clarifying requirements, functional design, development, and maintenance of platform enhancements
• Work directly with collaborators to understand technical implementation details and assist with enablement content
• Working on multiple software projects, sometimes simultaneously
• You will assist in fixing internal issues with our platform

What You Bring Along:

• 2+ years of industry experience in a full-stack or DevOps role working with Cloud technologies.
• Being adept at handling cross-team partnerships and developing relationships for cross-team collaboration
• Motivation to find and address the root causes that detract from supporting our collaborators, independently or with a team!
• Empathy for those using the tools and services that we build and maintain
