Search - Full Stack - Software Engineer II

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

Elastic is building the next generation conversational interface that lets users chat with their own data. We need a software engineer who is as comfortable polishing React components as writing the Node routes and Elasticsearch queries that feed them. You will deliver core AI chat features, including transcript virtualization, prompt composers, and citation inspectors, while also implementing the API endpoints that stream answers, persist sessions, and surface evaluation metrics. You will pair with designers on accessible, keyboard‑friendly patterns, instrument the stack for usage analytics, and collaborate with data scientists on prompt experiments and offline evaluation loops.

What You Will Be Doing

• Build and refine backend endpoints (Node / TypeScript) that power chat, citations, and evaluation loops.
• Help design, build, and polish front‑end features in Kibana using React, TypeScript, and the Elastic UI (EUI) design system : chat transcript panes, prompt composers, citation views, and telemetry opt‑ins.
• Pair with designers to break product ideas into incremental, testable UI stories and demo them in sprint reviews.
• Instrument the UI for observability – usage analytics, error tracking, Web Vitals – and use the data to iterate.
• Collaborate with data scientists and other specialists as we experiment with prompt strategies, streaming tokens, and evaluation overlays in the chat experience.
• Collaborate with the team on features, breaking them down into technical work and acting as an important, communicative part of an engaged and spirited team.
