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.
Elastic's Streams program is the unified platform for getting data into Elasticsearch from edge collection all the way through cloud processing. At the edge, Elastic Agent and Beats are how data leaves customer infrastructure.
This role is the tech lead position for the Agent Framework team: you will own the architecture, set the technical direction, and be the primary decision-maker for how Elastic's agent layer evolves to support the Streams model.
Compensation for this role is in the form of base salary. This role does not have a variable compensation component. The typical starting salary range for new hires in this role is listed below.
These ranges represent the lowest to highest salary we reasonably and in good faith believe we would pay for this role at the time of this posting. We may ultimately pay more or less than the posted range, and the ranges may be modified in the future.
An employee's position within the salary range will be based on several factors including, but not limited to, relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, geographic location, performance, and business or organizational needs.
Elastic believes that employees should have the opportunity to share in the value that we create together for our shareholders. Therefore, in addition to cash compensation, this role is currently eligible to participate in Elastic's stock program. Our total rewards package also includes a company-matched Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) with dollar-for-dollar matching up to 6% of eligible earnings, along with a range of other benefits offered with a holistic emphasis on employee well-being.
As a distributed company, diversity drives our identity. Whether you’re looking to launch a new career or grow an existing one, Elastic is the type of company where you can balance great work with great life. Your age is only a number. It doesn’t matter if you’re just out of college or your children are; we need you for what you can do.
We strive to have parity of benefits across regions and while regulations differ from place to place, we believe taking care of our people is the right thing to do.
Different people approach problems differently. We need that.

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.
Pay Transparency

Flexible Schedule
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.
