Senior Developer Advocate

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.

What Is The Role :

Developers and community matter. Our users and contributors have helped ensure that the Elastic Stack (including Elasticsearch, Kibana, Beats, and Logstash) is more than just code — they are open source projects that people love to use.

We’re looking for someone who can connect with our global audience through creative, educational, and visually engaging content. You don’t need to be a Senior Engineer — but you should have a strong technical foundation, curiosity to learn, and the skills to tell compelling stories about technology.

Your work will combine writing, visuals, and video — with no waiting on others to get it done. From drafting a Twitter thread in the morning to publishing an infographic and editing a short video in the afternoon, you’ll take ideas from concept to launch, end to end.

What You Will Be Doing:

• Create engaging technical content for social media, blogs, and YouTube, covering Search, AI, and Elasticsearch in ways that are approachable and inspiring. Topics range from foundational and evergreen topics to today's LLM release.

• Write short-form content (Twitter threads, LinkedIn posts) that distills complex concepts into clear, shareable insights.

• Produce simple, high-quality videos and infographics yourself — from scripting and recording to editing and publishing.

• Explore new trends in Search, AI, and developer tools, and translate them into content our audience cares about.

• Build demos and examples to support your content or share the highlights of the latest research papers.

• Add a creative spark to Elastic’s content to keep our community engaged and draw in new audiences.

What You Bring :

• Solid technical background and experience in an engineering role.

• Demonstrated ability to create a variety of content formats: blog posts, social media threads, videos, infographics.

• Comfortable working independently and seeing projects through from idea to publication without waiting on others.

• Curiosity and adaptability to quickly pick up new tools and topics.

• A collaborative mindset and willingness to share ideas, in a fully distributed team.

• Strong written and spoken communication skills in English.
