Senior Developer Advocate

What is The Role

For all of us at Elastic, community matters. Our users and contributors have helped to ensure that the Elastic Stack (including Elasticsearch, Kibana, Beats, and Logstash) are more than just code — they are open source projects that people love to use, and love to talk about! As our Senior Developer Advocate you will champion our Elastic community.

What You Will Be Doing

• Speaking publicly at in-person and virtual conferences, meetups, and other events.
• Answering questions from developers on Discuss (our forum), Slack, and other forums.
• Building and sharing content, including social media posts, in-depth blog posts, example code, demos, tutorials, and videos on elastic.co or our YouTube channel.
• Contributing code on GitHub both to Elastic and external repositories.
• Providing feedback from the developer community to our engineering teams to improve Elastic products.

For this role, you will be based in NYC, New York. You will keep up-to-date on the latest in search and AI, understand and advocate Elastic Stack use cases, and be embedded in the developer community.

What You Bring

• Deep technical background and experience in an engineering role, such as software engineering.
• Demonstrated ability to create compelling content about technology — including speaking, writing, and demoing.
• Empathy for the community to help them solve their issues, provide internal feedback to make Elastic’s products better, and fix problems where possible.
• Comfortable working with a highly distributed team.
• A devoted individual with experience working as a contributor in self-organizing teams.
• Excellent spoken and written communication skills in English.
