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. 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.
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.
Are you the kind of person who is keen on sharing technology with the world and supporting our global user-base? Your activities as a Senior Developer Advocate with a focus on content creation include:
Publish deep-dive videos that connect search, vector databases, and agentic workflows. Or covers observability with logs, metrics, and traces including the OpenTelemetry perspective.
Stay up to date with the latest trends in search and AI or observability to cover what's new and exciting for our users.
Build open-source demos and example applications on GitHub that combine Elasticsearch with developer and AI tools.
Contribute to Elasticsearch Labs and our YouTube channel.
The DevRel team's mission is to educate and help our users succeed by being an expert in Elasticsearch and the Search + AI or observability ecosystem.
