Requirements

Elastic depth — non-negotiable

We are not looking for someone who will learn Elastic on the job.

• 8+ years hands-on with the Elastic Stack, substantially on cluster and platform work rather than dashboarding or pipeline authoring

• Shard strategy you can derive, not recite — how you arrived at a shard count and size for a given workload, what you traded off, and what you got wrong the first time

• Index and mapping design, and why those choices drive cluster performance

• Lifecycle and retention across data tiers, including the cost and latency implications of each

• Snapshot, restore and disaster recovery designed and executed, not just configured

• Major-version upgrades in production — the sequencing, the breaking changes, the rollback position

• More than one deployment model: self-managed plus at least one managed or orchestrated option

• Cluster stability and performance troubleshooting — heap and garbage collection, circuit breakers, thread pool rejections, shard allocation, expensive queries

• Elastic Certified Engineer, or the demonstrable knowledge to obtain it within your first quarter

• Strong Linux and operating system fundamentals, with solid grounding in storage and networking

• A working understanding of how infrastructure conditions translate into Elastic symptoms, and how infrastructure choices constrain what a deployment can do

• Experience troubleshooting on shared infrastructure, where the cause of your problem is another workload's behaviour and resolving it means engaging the team that owns it
