At Elastic, we have a simple goal: to solve the world's data problems with products that delight and inspire. As the company behind the popular open-source projects — Elasticsearch, Kibana, Logstash, and Beats — we help people around the world do great things with their data. From stock quotes to real-time Twitter streams, Apache logs to WordPress blogs, our products are extending what's possible with data, delivering on the promise that good things come from connecting the dots. The Elastic family unites employees across 30+ countries into one coherent team, while the broader community spans across over 100 countries.

Our Philosophy

We're always on the search for amazing people. People who have a deep passion for technology and are masters at their craft. We build highly sophisticated distributed systems, and we don't take our technology lightly. In Elastic, you'll have the opportunity to work in a vibrant & energetic company next to some of the most inquisitive and highly skilled technologists the industry has to offer. We're looking for phenomenal teammates, yet we also promote independence and ownership. We're hackers... but of the good kind. The kind that innovates and builds groundbreaking products that eventually translate to a lot of happy, smiling faces.

Elastic's Support team is unlike any other on Earth: while we are spread across 12 time zones and 25 countries, we operate as a unit, as a family. We are massively distributed yet lovingly intimate. The service we deliver is caring, empathetic, and human; yet ambitious, direct, and comprehensive. We don't do it alone, as we are tightly integrated with our core developers in a way that is real, genuine, and never taken for granted. Our team is a dream for someone seeking honesty, hard work, and rewards. It is a nightmare for anyone afraid to ask questions or be questioned — always forward, never backward. We are not trying to change the world, we already have. We're just waiting for everyone else to catch up. We have our good days and our not-so-good days, and we face them together, as a family. We listen. We solve. We guide. We get it. And we're thrilled to bring on a new team member to join us on our journey.
