Elastic, the Search AI Company, is seeking a Principal Software Engineer to join Platform Infrastructure - Application Networking and determine where Elastic Cloud application networking goes next. This role covers Ingress, security controls, private connectivity, and DNS management—the path every interaction with Elasticsearch, Kibana, and the broader Elastic stack takes. You will drive the technical vision, architecture, and design of these systems, not just execute against an existing roadmap.

This is a Principal-level engineering role for someone who has designed high-performance, scalable networking platforms and can drive technical initiatives across organizations. Elastic is investing in the reliability, security, and reach of Elastic Cloud; you will uphold a high bar for those qualities while other engineering teams rely on what this platform provides.

What You Will Be Doing - Set the technical direction for major application networking initiatives, owning designs from proposal through general availability. - Lead the development of Ingress, private connectivity, DNS, and security controls at scale for Elastic Cloud. Continuously identify and address issues related to performance, reliability, and operability. - Lead multi-quarter, cross-organizational projects that other Elastic engineering teams rely on, guiding these projects through to delivery. - Raise the operational quality of our services. Take charge of operational investigations from beginning to end. Lead complex incident investigations and reviews. Participate in on-call rotation. - Mentor and support
