About this role

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. By taking advantage of all structured and unstructured data — securing and protecting private information more effectively — Elastic’s complete, cloud-based solutions for search, security, and observability help organizations deliver on the promise of AI.

What Is The Role :

We're looking for a Software Engineer II to join the Platform Admin UX team and help shape the experience for administrators across Elastic Cloud.

The ideal candidate is a full-stack engineer equally at home writing React components, designing backend services, and operating what they build once it's live. You can work autonomously, drive decisions and results in a distributed team by leveraging asynchronous, direct, and transparent communication. You collaborate across functions and teams, shift fluidly between projects and codebases as priorities evolve, and have a proven track record of using AI tools to accelerate development — while retaining full ownership of outcomes.

What You Will Be Doing :

• Design, build, and ship full-stack product features, from React UI through the backend services that support them.

• Own end-to-end delivery across multiple product variants and environments, using feature flags to gate incomplete work and ensure every release remains stable and deployable.

• Operate services in production: participate in the release rotation, triage alerts, and maintain continuous delivery and quality gates.

• Collaborate with product management and UX/UI designers to ensure admin experiences align with business goals; translate design prototypes into polished, accessible interfaces.

• Conduct code reviews that uphold engineering standards, drive architectural improvements, advocate for automated testing, and provide constructive feedback that raises quality across the team.

• Keep the platform safe and current: review dependency upgrades, investigate security vulnerabilities, manage feature flags, and extend synthetic test coverage when behavior changes.

What You Bring :

• 5+ years of full-stack development experience with React, TypeScript, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS.

• Comfortable with Redux-style state patterns and modern data-fetching, with sound judgment about sharing vs. specializing UI across product variants. Solid command of Git and version control workflows.

• Proven ownership of Node.js services in production: HTTP APIs, auth/session boundaries, configuration management, and debugging real incidents from logs, metrics, and traces.

• Proficient with AI development tools (e.g. Cursor, Claude, or equivalent); you actively look for opportunities to accelerate your own workflow and the team's — while maintaining code quality and owning the outcomes.

• Operational maturity — you have been on-call for a user-facing service, used runbooks and SLOs, and treat continuous delivery, feature flags, and automated tests as first-class parts of the feature.

• Testing discipline using React Testing Library (or equivalent) and E2E/synthetics for critical paths; you write tests that protect behavior across environments without blocking release velocity.

• Experience with DevOps practices and tooling; comfort in a multi-environment, compliance-aware product matrix — recognizing blast radius and shipping carefully behind flags.

• Solid communicator and collaborator: you write clearly, give constructive code reviews, mentor peers, and work successfully with product and design.

• Eligible to work in Department of Defense (DoD) Impact Level 4 or above cloud service environments.
