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.
The Observability team is in charge of developing solutions that focus on application developers and engineers that run infrastructure and services supporting these applications. Elasticsearch is an efficient datastore for logs, metrics, and application traces, supporting the three pillars of observability. The Observability team builds and maintains solutions that make getting insights from this data turnkey and efficient, such as our APM, Infrastructure Monitoring, Logs, and Uptime solutions. When developing these solutions, we think about the problem end-to-end: how we manage agents and collectors, how we collect data efficiently, how we store it in Elasticsearch, and how we deliver seamless management capabilities across remote architectures.
As a Principal Product Manager for Telemetry collection within the Observability team, you will be responsible for driving the strategy and execution for our edge telemetry collectors and remote management capabilities. You will own the vision for Fleet Server, Elastic Agent, and the Elastic Distribution of OpenTelemetry (EDOT) alongside classic standalone log shippers like Filebeat and the Beats ecosystem and Logstash. If you are passionate about building scalable collector management systems and empowering users to easily manage enterprise-grade telemetry pipelines, this job is for you!
Compensation for this role is in the form of base salary. This role does not have a variable compensation component.
At Elastic, our compensation philosophy aims to provide fair, competitive and transparent remuneration.

This approach helps ensure consistency across comparable roles while remaining competitive within the relevant labour markets.
The final compensation offered within the applicable range will be determined based on several objective factors, including relevant professional experience, level of skills and expertise, alignment with the role requirements, and the overall scope and complexity of the position.

Yes. Elastic is "distributed by intention" — remote, hybrid, and in-person roles are available so you can work virtually or from one of its global offices. The majority of currently open roles (about 91%) are tagged remote, and Elasticians work across more than 40 countries.
Elastic hires in the countries where it has legal entities rather than "anywhere in the world." Recent openings span the United States (its largest hiring geography), the United Kingdom, Canada, Spain, India, the Netherlands, Japan, and 15+ other countries across EMEA, the Americas, and APJ. Eligibility is set role by role in each job posting.
Benefits include health coverage for you and your family, a minimum of 16 weeks of parental leave, generous paid time off, a 401(k) with dollar-for-dollar matching up to 6% of eligible earnings (US), equity (RSUs) plus an employee stock purchase plan, a reimbursement to set up your remote workspace when you join and again after every five years, 40 hours of paid volunteer time each year, and donation matching up to US$2,000. Specific benefits vary by region.

US job postings include explicit salary bands (for example, "$106,900–$169,100 USD"), driven by Greenhouse and US pay-transparency laws, with uplifts for select higher-cost metros. Compensation is geo-based rather than global-parity, and roles are also eligible for Elastic's equity program. Elastic states pay is "based on the work you do here and not your previous salary."
The process generally runs: application, a 30-minute recruiter screen, department interviews (45–90 minutes), an optional panel presentation, a technical assessment for some roles (60–90 minutes), then a decision and onboarding. Most interviews are conducted virtually, though some may be held on-site.
Elastic suits people who thrive in a distributed, written-first culture and want to build search, observability, and security products on the Elastic Search AI Platform. Its published "Source Code" values — like "come as you are" and "distributed by intention" — emphasize flexibility, autonomy across time zones, and inclusion across a workforce representing more than 100 nationalities.
