As an Engineering Manager, you will be responsible for managing, mentoring, and leading a team of engineers to deliver high-quality and innovative search enhancements with regular releases of Elasticsearch.
\nOur team is responsible for building the core platform that powers search for Elastic's customers and users for e-commerce, observability, SIEM, and more. We focus on delivering a robust and feature-rich search experience, including contributing to improving the search experience in Lucene, evolving the search tier of our Serverless architecture, and building search functionality in our new piped query language, ES|QL.
\nAs an Engineering Manager, you will participate in roadmap and project planning efforts and will have ownership for delivering it. You'll be participating in project management efforts as the teams complete plans together with the Tech Lead and Product Manager.
\nOur company is distributed by intention. We hire the best engineers we can find wherever they are, whoever they are. We collaborate across continents every day over email, GitHub, Zoom, and Slack.
\nAt our best, we write fast, scalable, and intuitive software. We believe that the best way to do that is to empower individual engineers, code review every change, decide big things by consensus, and strive for incremental improvements.
\nWe believe that engineering complex, pluggable software that is built to last the test of time is both tricky and exciting. Doing so requires a team of diverse individuals, with sharp minds and the ability to empathize with our users, working together with mutual respect and a common mission.
\nWe care deeply about giving you full ownership of what you're working on. Our company fundamentally believes great minds achieve greatness when they are set free and are surrounded and challenged by their peers, which is clearly visible throughout our organization.
\nAt Elastic, hierarchy does not determine how decisions get made. We feel that anyone needs to be in the position to comment on anything, regardless of their role within the company.
