About the role:

We're looking for a dedicated JavaScript Engineer to join our Observability team, a full-stack team of JavaScript engineers that evolve and maintain the Elastic Observability product.

What you'll be doing:

• Author code alongside other dedicated engineers supporting the Observability team’s mission.
• Partner with data analysts, product managers and designers to build, test, and release features that improve users' observability experience.
• Write and maintain high-quality TypeScript code.
• Participate in code reviews for your team and other teams.
• Improve engineering standards, tooling, and processes.

What you bring along:

• You care deeply about the design and quality of the features you ship.
• You have 3+ years working in a JavaScript-focused role.
• You're passionate about JavaScript or web development in general.
• TypeScript experience is a plus.
• You demonstrate strong communication and problem-solving skills.
• You have the ability to work autonomously in a globally distributed team.
• You have experience with and/or curiosity to learn Observability concepts including incident management, SLO strategy, entity definition, and more!
