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 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.
The Beats platform is the basis for building open source shippers that
collect all kinds of operational data, store it in Elasticsearch, and
visualize it with Kibana. They collect data from edge servers, and are
used to power application monitoring, infrastructure monitoring, and
network monitoring. We currently have five official Beats: Filebeat for
gathering logs, Packetbeat for network traffic, Metricbeat for metrics,
Winlogbeat for Windows event logs, Heartbeat for uptime monitoring, and
Auditbeat for audit data. In addition, the open-source community has
created over 40 Beats, collecting data from all sorts of sources.
All current Beats are written in Golang.
As part of the Beats team, you will be responsible for maintaining the
official Beats, for creating new ones, as well as for supporting the

world, and collaborates on daily basis over Github, Zoom, and Slack.
