What is The RoleFor 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 DoingAre you keen on sharing technology with the world and supporting our global user-base? Do you feel at home connecting with community members across the globe: in person, on blogs, in forums, via social channels, and at events? Is speaking publicly at local meetups your jam? Are you passionate about the Elastic Stack? If so this might just be your dream job.
Your activities as a Senior Developer Advocate at Elastic would include:

- Providing feedback from the developer community to our engineering teams to improve Elastic products.
For this role, you will be our Senior Developer Advocate based in NYC, New York. You will keep up-to-date on the latest in search and AI, understand and advocate the 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.
