About The Team

The Platform release team provides the framework, guidance, and leadership that empowers product teams to build and ship Elastic software every three weeks. Were continuously evolving our release workflow and increasingly pushing boundaries toward a Continuous Delivery model for our Cloud offering. There are many challenges ahead of us, and were looking for someone to help us tackle them and keep our releases non-events, regardless of our scale. Does this sound like you?

Our release infrastructure is powered by technologies such as Gradle, Docker, Ansible, Kubernetes, Jenkins, Buildkite, common Cloud service providers (GCP/AWS), signing technology (GPG, Sigstore, and notarization), and languages such as Go and Python.

What You Bring Along:

• Your experience in the software delivery ecosystem, working on CI/CD pipelines
• A deep understanding of the Software Development Lifecycle: building, packaging, testing, and releasing
• A passion for working across the org and interacting with internal customers
  
  

Other Skills You Will Likely Need To Succeed

• Proficiency with Docker and containerization
• Experience with Kubernetes and one cloud provider (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
• Experience with Buildkite, Jenkins, and other CI/CD technologies
• Experience with build systems like Gradle, and Maven and languages such as Go and Python
