About Elastic

You use AI to accelerate your own work and your team's and you understand AI's impact on supply chain security and scale

Responsibilities

• You will also direct engineers on your team through complex projects, drive clear technical communication and alignment across teams, and serve as Incident Commander on high-severity incidents.
• This is a hands-on role that requires deep expertise in CI/CD and a strong understanding of supply chain security.
• Definir la hoja de ruta y la visión técnica para CI/CD, desde la identificación del problema hasta la adopción en toda la organización.
• Identificar dónde CI/CD es un cuello de botella, una fuente de fricción o un riesgo de seguridad antes de que se convierta en un incidente, y dirigir la remediación.
• Diseñar y hacer cumplir las puertas de liberación que cubren la integridad de la cadena de suministro, la procedencia del artefacto y la preparación para la liberación.
• Experience directing the work of other engineers toward outcomes not just collaborating, but breaking down complex problems into executable work and holding the outcome
• Hands-on with CI infrastructure (Buildkite, GitHub Actions, or equivalent), GitOps/ArgoCD, and Kubernetes
• Deep expertise in CI/CD and what it takes to harden a release pipeline against supply chain attacks

Requirements

• A track record of multi-quarter, cross-org ownership: you've identified the right problem, designed the solution, and gotten organizations that didn't report to you to change how they work
• The judgment to push back on a prescribed plan when it's the wrong call, and the credibility to get alignment on a better approach

• Strong debugging instincts across the full pipeline stack: you trace failures from test runner to artifact store to cluster deployment without needing a specialist for each layer
• EUR 104,800 - 165,700
