Elastic

Thousands of companies—including over half the Fortune 500—rely on Elastic's search and analytics platform to power everything from website search and application monitoring to cybersecurity threat detection. The Elastic Search AI Platform, built on the open-source ELK Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana), combines full-text search with vector database capabilities and AI to handle use cases across search, observability, and security. Elastic is publicly traded on NYSE under the ticker ESTC.

Elastic has been distributed by design since its founding, with no central headquarters and employees spread across dozens of countries. The company's remote culture prioritizes flexible scheduling and outcome-based work—teams set their own hours and collaborate asynchronously. Elastic uses the concept of "SpaceTime" to encourage giving space for focused, creative work alongside intentional collaboration.

For engineers, Elastic offers the opportunity to work on widely adopted open-source technology at massive scale. The platform processes billions of data points daily for customers in financial services, healthcare, government, and technology sectors. The codebase is primarily Java, with Kibana built on TypeScript and React.
