The Entity Analytics team is building analytical and contextual features that are at the center of Elastic’s security offerings. The Elastic stack is widely used among the security analyst community, and our team is working to improve the user experience and workflows of these analysts. Exciting challenges await, including collecting data relevant to users, hosts, and cloud instances, aggregating and visualizing that data, providing insights into anomalous activity, and supporting the investigation phase of a Security Analyst workflow.

The team is diverse and distributed, but connected! You will be working remotely with people from Germany, Spain, United States, United Kingdom, and more. We meet via Zoom, brainstorm in Google Docs, discuss in public GitHub issues, and chat on Slack.

• Write and maintain high-quality, client-side and server-side Typescript code
• Build visualizations and UI workflows that serve security analytics use cases
• Build Node.js background tasks that perform data searches and manipulations
• Work on open-source software and bolster Elastic’s SIEM technologies
• Work with our support team to help customers and answer community questions

What you’ll bring:

• Experience developing and maintaining reasonably complex software projects with high quality and over several years
• Solid experience writing automated tests, including unit and end-to-end tests
• Experience with Node.js, Typescript, React, and Elasticsearch is a plus
• Good understanding of data processing and analytics (within the context of Security or UEBA is a plus)
• Ability to work in a distributed team throughout the world
