Overview

Elastic, the Search AI Company, enables everyone to find the answers they need in real time, using all their data, at scale — unleashing the potential of businesses and people. The Elastic Search AI Platform, used by more than 50% of the Fortune 500, brings together the precision of search and the intelligence of AI to enable everyone to accelerate the results that matter. By taking advantage of all structured and unstructured data — securing and protecting private information more effectively — Elastic’s complete, cloud-based solutions for search, security, and observability help organizations deliver on the promise of AI.

Elastic’s Support team is unlike any other on Earth: while we are spread across 12 time zones and 15 countries, we operate as a unit, as a family. As a distributed company, we offer the unique opportunity to work closely with colleagues from diverse backgrounds and cultures, fostering a collaborative spirit that is at the heart of everything we do.

The service we deliver is not just about solving problems, it's about caring, empathy, and the human touch. We approach our work with ambition, directness, and comprehensiveness, but always with a focus on the individual. We don’t do it alone, as we work closely with our core developers in a genuine and never-taken-for-granted way, making each team member feel valued and integral to our mission.

Our team is a dream for someone who seeks honest, hard work and rewards. It is a nightmare for anyone afraid to ask questions or be questioned — always forward, never backwards.

We are not trying to change the world; we already have. We’re just waiting for everyone else to catch up. We have our good days and our not-so-good days, and we face them together, as a family. We listen. We solve. We guide. We get it. And we’re excited to bring on a new team member to love, support, and be part of our resilient team.
