Software Engineer II

elastic.co is how Elastic talks to the world - it’s where potential customers first encounter our products and where existing ones come to learn more. As a Software Engineer II on the Web Engineering team you’ll own meaningful parts of that experience: building the features, systems, and infrastructure that keep the site fast, reliable, and effective at scale. The ideal candidate is a full-stack engineer who is equally comfortable writing React components, designing backend services, shipping to production, and owning what they build once it’s live - including on-call response and security triage.

You’ll work closely with stakeholders across the company to ship features that improve the site’s quality and performance in a distributed, async-first environment., * Instrument client-side performance (Core Web Vitals, error tracking, real-user monitoring) alongside backend logging, metrics, tracing, alerting, and dashboards.

• Partner with product managers, designers, and other developers to build, test, and release features for elastic.co.
• Write clean, maintainable code and take ownership for its behavior in production.
• Triage, investigate, and resolve security vulnerability reports - from reproduction and root-cause analysis to fix, validation, and coordinated disclosure.
• Participate in code reviews for your team.
• Diagnose and resolve production issues spanning client regressions to backend failures, and participate in an on-call rotation for an always-on service.

• 3+ years in a full-stack or frontend role, with proven TypeScript and React depth (component architecture, performance, state management) and hands-on backend experience shipping and operating production services.
• Production experience with Node.js, Python, or Go - enough to build, deploy, debug, and maintain backend services independently.
• Experience owning CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or equivalent) end-to-end, including front-end build tooling, bundle optimization, and deployment automation without a dedicated ops team.
• A proven track record of using AI to accelerate development, debug complex systems, and optimize code, while still owning the final outcomes.
• Experienced in building for high availability and scalability at real production scale, including writing secure code, identifying vulnerabilities, and resolving security issues under pressure.
• Ability to work autonomously in a globally distributed team.
