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. We unite Elasticians across 30+ countries (and counting!), 18
timezones and 30 different languages into one coherent team, while the
broader community spans across over 100 countries.
Thanks to our ongoing expansion we have the opportunity to grow the
Swiftype Site Reliability team at Elastic. We're a part of the
engineering team with a focus on providing a reliable service to
Swiftype SaaS customers and supporting the team in development, testing,
and release efforts of Swiftype products. We’re looking for people who
are just as passionate about solving issues with distributed systems as
they are about automating, coding and collaborating to solve problems.
