Senior Software Developer

We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Streams UI team, where you’ll have the chance to shape and enhance our user interface, making it more intuitive and engaging for our users. In this role, you’ll work on Fleet, the central management experience for Elastic Agent in Kibana, and on Streams, our new tool for handling log data. This includes ingesting, organizing, parsing, enriching, and setting retention for the data.

You will be part of a skilled group of engineers and designers, contributing your expertise and learning from others. If you enjoy tackling complex challenges and want to make a meaningful impact on our product, we’d love to hear from you.

• Design and implement intuitive user interface components that enhance user commitment, using TypeScript, React, and Node.js.
• Integrate front-end elements seamlessly with back-end services to ensure a smooth user experience.
• Conduct usability testing and gather user feedback to drive continuous improvements.
• Own complex, loosely-defined problems end-to-end: shape the approach, split the work if needed, make key technical decisions, and deliver.
• Lead discussions on architecture and system design, considering trade-offs, backwards compatibility, performance, and scale.
• Establish coding standards and ensure the team adheres to them throughout the development process.
• Promote reusable components to improve efficiency and implement automated testing and deployment to maintain code quality.
• Evaluate new technologies for potential integration and document best practices to facilitate team-wide knowledge sharing.
• Conduct thorough code reviews to ensure adherence to coding standards and best practices, offering constructive feedback and identifying potential security vulnerabilities in the codebase.
• Focus on maintaining code readability and facilitate discussions with team members to address any findings from the code review.
• Collaborate async across timezones with a fully-distributed team, working in the open on GitHub and in Slack.
• Partner closely with designers and product managers to apprehend user experience goals and translate their mockups into functional UI components.
• Ensure a consistent visual design across all UI elements.
• Participate in brainstorming sessions to generate innovative ideas for enhancing the user interface.

Benefits:

• Fully paid health coverage for you and your family, in many locations.
• Flexible location and schedule for most roles.
• Distributed by design workforce, plus generous number of vacation days each year.
• Minimum of 16 weeks of parental leave, plus generous family formation benefits.
• 40 hours each year to use toward volunteering with organizations and causes you’re passionate about.
• Double your charitable giving — we match donations up to $1500 USD (or local currency equivalent).

Qualifications:

• Solid production experience with full-stack JavaScript, preferably TypeScript; React on the front end and Node.js on the back end.
• Some experience with Reactflow is a plus.
• Proficient architecture and system-design judgment, including in large, existing codebases.
• Exemplary written and verbal communication, and a genuine excitement for async collaboration and knowledge-sharing.
• Successfully designed and launched multiple user interface components that significantly increased user commitment.
• A generalist streak and a user-focused mindset, with consideration for the people using your software.
• Experience using AI-assisted development tools.
• A multiplier mindset! You make the engineers around you better.
• A track record of leading non-trivial projects end-to-end, with real design ownership and minimal guidance.
• Experience with the Elastic stack, observability tooling, or log/data-ingestion pipelines.
• Go, Kubernetes, or cloud-native application development experience.
• Prior open-source / working-in-the-open experience, or time on a developer-facing platform team.
• Experience building large user interfaces that manage a lot of data, including skills in search, filtering, and tables.
• Experience working with streaming or real-time data.
• Experience mentoring engineers or leading a small project team.
