The role
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.
What Is The Role :
As a Principal Threat Hunting and Emulation Engineer at Elastic, you are at the forefront of proactively defending Elastic’s products, services, and people. This is not a reactive role—you will lead structured, hypothesis-driven hunts across Elastic’s global environment to uncover threats that evade automated detection. You will design and execute adversary emulation exercises to stress-test our detection pipelines, validate coverage, and drive continuous improvement. You’ll partner deeply with Detection Engineering, Incident Response, and Threat Intelligence to ensure that what we hunt for translates directly into durable detections and hardened defenses.
