Senior Developer Advocate

Are you keen on sharing technology with the world and supporting our global user-base? As a Developer Advocate at Elastic, you would help educate and support users across the search and AI ecosystem. The DevRel team's mission is to help users succeed by being, or being willing to become, an expert in Elasticsearch and the Elastic Stack.

Elastic enables everyone to find the answers they need in real time, using all their data, at scale. The Elastic Search AI Platform brings together the precision of search and the intelligence of AI to help organizations accelerate results across search, security, and observability.

Developers and community matter. Our users and contributors have helped ensure that the Elastic Stack, including Elasticsearch, Kibana, Beats, and Logstash, is more than just code — they are free and open projects that people love to use and love to talk about.
