What Is The Role :
Our mission on the Elastic Security team is to protect the world’s data from attack. We are building a community and a product that’s making a meaningful difference in the lives of our users. We believe that engineering complex, pluggable software for the web that is built to last the test of time is both tricky and exciting. Doing so requires a team of diverse individuals, with sharp minds and the ability to empathize with our users, working together with mutual respect and a common mission.
Elastic is looking for an Engineering Manager to lead our Native Linux Integrations team as they build the world-class componentry that powers software deployed at the edge and inside our user's network perimeter. This team is uniquely positioned to cater to the needs of practitioners in DevOps and SecOps roles.
Elastic Security integrations enable organizations to leverage data from common security data sources to perform investigations and incident response. Our SIEM correlates data from these data sources, including cloud, network and endpoint sources using robust detection rules to find threats quickly.
In addition to guiding our way through our roadmap, you'll help grow a diverse team of collaborative software engineers, each of whom will help shape the future of security integrations at Elastic. The existing team of engineers is spread across Europe and North America.

- Mentor and lead a globally distributed team.
