Senior Software Engineer - Integrations 3P - Platform

Elastic, the Search AI Company, enables everyone to find the answers they need in real time, using all their data, at scale , unleashing the potential of businesses and people. The Elastic Search AI Platform, used by more than 50% of the Fortune 500, brings together the precision of search and the intelligence of AI to enable everyone to accelerate the results that matter.

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join the Integrations Team and help us build how Elastic shows up inside the AI ecosystem. AI assistants and agentic tools are quickly becoming the place where developers start their work, and this role exists to make Elastic work in the tools and ecosystems that our users use.

Responsibilities

• You'll build and evolve the Elastic MCP server and the infrastructure behind it, working primarily in Go.
• You'll build the platform for universal agent skills: the portable format, the authoring and publishing tooling, and the linting that lets any team at Elastic ship a skill that runs across every agent.
• You'll help set the correctness bar, making sure the skills and tools we ship are backed by evals rather than assumed to work.
• You'll design and deliver integrations that make Elastic available inside third-party AI ecosystems.
• You'll contribute to our Elastic CLI to enhance the efficiency of developers and their agents.
• You'll be developing, maintaining, and supporting libraries, tools, and integrations related to the Elastic Stack, working in a mixture of languages including Go and Rust.
• You'll bring product thinking to the team, holding and defending opinions on what we should build and why, informed by the ecosystem around us.

Requirements

• 8+ years of software engineering experience working on backend systems, services or libraries.
• Proficiency with AI/ML frameworks and a working understanding of LLMs, agents, agent skills and protocols such as MCP.
• Significant recent working experience of Go and (ideally) other languages.
• Knowledge of client-server networking, HTTP, and RESTful APIs.
• Comfort reading and contributing to codebases in languages you don't own, and no fear of picking up an unfamiliar one.
• Knowledge of industry best practices in software engineering.
• Product thinking: an interest in the wider ecosystem and strong opinions on what is worth building.
• A strong focus on usability and developer experience.
• Comfort with context-switching and with a space that changes quickly.
• A genuine interest in technology and an active interest in exploring multiple programming languages.
• Excellent communication, collaboration, and interpersonal skills, including in front of customers and external partners.
• A willingness to work as part of a remote, globally distributed team.
• Clear thinking, self-motivation, and the ability to learn and work independently.

Benefits

• Competitive pay based on the work you do here and not your previous salary
• Health coverage for you and your family in many locations
• Ability to craft your calendar with flexible locations and schedules for many roles
• Generous number of vacation days each year
• Increase your impact - We match up to $2000 (or local currency equivalent) for financial donations and service
• Up to 40 hours each year to use toward volunteer projects you love
• Embracing parenthood with minimum of 16 weeks of parental leave
