Description
As a Software Engineer II on the Web Engineering team at Elastic, you'll own meaningful parts of the experience of the company's website, elastic.co. This includes building features, systems, and infrastructure that keep the site fast, reliable, and effective at scale.
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.
Responsibilities:
- Own features across the full stack from component design and backend services to deployment pipelines and shipping production code end-to-end.
- 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.
What You Bring:
- 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 track record of 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.
