What is The Role

Elastic Security is one of the fastest-growing parts of our business, and our customers (including government and public sector organisations) rely on our Security Solution to modernise their SOC, threat detection, and response capabilities.

You will lead the hands-on delivery of Elastic Security projects (new implementations, migrations, and use-case expansions) from discovery through architecture design and build. Along the way, you'll develop trusted relationships with senior stakeholders and work closely with our Services, Engineering and Sales teams.

Elastic is a remote-first company, but many of the projects you'll deliver might require onsite availability, making the role hybrid in practice, varying by project, with travel of up to 60%.
Some of these engagements, given the organisations involved, also require national security screening or clearance; eligibility to obtain one in your country of employment is a strong advantage, and Elastic will sponsor the process where required.

What You Will Be Doing

Assess and Design

Analyse customer goals, pain points, existing architecture, and threat landscape, translating them into technical requirements
Design Elastic Security solution architectures (SIEM, endpoint, cloud security) that integrate with the customer's wider security ecosystem
Advise on the customer's security strategy and own the Elastic side of it, aligning recommendations through regular sessions with senior and key stakeholders

Implement and Deliver

Lead hands-on delivery of Elastic Security projects end-to-end, including greenfield deployments and migrations from legacy SIEM/EDR platforms in mission-critical environments
Deploy and secure the Elastic platform: cluster architecture, RBAC and role mapping, single sign-on, private connectivity (private links, VPC peering), and hardening for enterprise and government environments
Architect and build large-scale data ingestion with Elastic Agent, Beats, and Logstash, normalising data to ECS and integrating sources such as Kafka, Azure Event Hub, and AWS S3
Develop security content aligned to the customer's threat landscape: detection rules, dashboards, and alerting workflows
Drive security migrations from competing platforms, applying deep knowledge of Elastic's capabilities to translate each use case into its best form, whether through feature parity mapping or full redesign
Establish detection-as-code practices for customers managing detections programmatically: developing, testing, versioning, and deploying detection content with Python, Git, and CI/CD pipelines
Apply and enable Elastic's Agentic AI capabilities (AI Assistant, Attack Discovery, agent-driven workflows) to accelerate customers' detection and response

Grow and Collaborate

Identify and deliver new security use cases as customers mature their cyber defence journey with Elastic
Deliver engagements on time and within the agreed Statement of Work (SOW) scope, surfacing opportunities for follow-on work
Communicate confidently with stakeholders
