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
The Elastic Security Endpoint Protections team builds the visibility, prevention, and on-device machine learning capabilities at the core of Elastic Defend, our endpoint and SIEM security solution. We work in kernel and user mode across Windows, macOS, and Linux, against adversaries who study how to defeat what we build. Our work reaches the security community as well as the product, through original research and conference talks. We are looking for a Senior Manager who has done this work personally and can still review a design or write code. You will lead a globally distributed team and set the tone for a group that values candid feedback, collaborative learning, and mentorship.
We believe security is a team sport, and our efficacy is independently verified rather than simply claimed: in recent third-party enterprise protection testing, Elastic Security earned a perfect malware protection score with zero false alarms, the top result in the field. If you are energized by leading world-class engineers and making a measurable dent in how the industry defends the endpoint, we would love to hear from you!
