📋 Description

• Architect and own the Elastic Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Beats/Elastic Agent, Kibana) supporting high-volume security telemetry ingestion, detection, and search. • Direct implementation experience with ECK is required. • Design data models, index lifecycle management (ILM) strategies, sharding, and hot-warm-cold tiering for petabyte-scale, multi-tenant security data. • Build and harden ingestion pipelines from EDR, network, cloud, and log sources into the Elastic Stack, in partnership with detection engineering. • Tune cluster performance — query latency, indexing throughput, resource allocation — and drive capacity planning for growth. • Own Elastic Stack security, upgrades, and reliability, including runbooks, monitoring, and incident response for the platform itself. • Evaluate and roll out new Elastic capabilities (e.g., Elastic Security, ES|QL, machine learning jobs) that improve detection speed and analyst experience. • Set technical direction for and mentor a small team of Elastic engineers, establishing standards, review practices, and on-call structure for the platform. • Document architecture decisions, standards, and best practices, and represent the Elastic platform in cross-functional planning and vendor (Elastic) conversations.

🎯 Requirements

• 7+ years in search/data engineering or infrastructure roles, with 6+ years of hands-on Elasticsearch/Elastic Stack architecture experience. • Deep expertise in Elasticsearch internals: sharding, replication, ILM, mapping/index design, query DSL and/or ES|QL, and cluster performance tuning at scale. • Experience building ingestion pipelines with Logstash, Beats, or Elastic Agent, ideally with security/log data (SIEM, EDR, cloud logs). • Comfort operating Elastic in private and public cloud environments (AWS/Azure) and with containerization (Docker/Kubernetes) and infrastructure-as-code. • Working knowledge of security operations concepts (detections, alerting, SIEM workflows) is a strong plus • Scripting/programming ability (Python, Go, or similar) for automation and tooling. • Elastic Certified Engineer certification is a plus, not required.

🏖️ Benefits

• Flexible Paid Time Off • 401k with a company match • Medical, Dental and Vision Coverage • Voluntary Short Term and Long-Term Disability • Employee Assistance Program with Mental Health Supplement • Voluntary Basic, Accidental, and other ancillary life insurance • Health Savings Account Contribution (with selection of a HDHP) • 10 annual, paid holidays
