What is The Role
 
In this role, you'll be deeply involved in shaping the future of application networking solutions within the Elastic Cloud, focusing on key areas such as Ingress, security controls, private connectivity, and DNS management. You will play a vital role in ensuring that every interaction with Elasticsearch, Kibana, and the broader Elastic stack is proficient and secure. You will work with various engineering teams.

Refactor existing code to improve functionality and maintainability while leveraging AI tools to boost productivity for you and your team.
  • Analyze performance metrics to pinpoint bottlenecks in application networking. Conduct load testing to assess scalability of networking features and optimize code to enhance response times and resource efficiency. Implement performance monitoring tools while collaborating with cross-functional teams to meet their application networking needs.
  • Identify and tackle application networking issues to enhance performance. Conduct root cause analysis for network-related incidents and document the troubleshooting processes for future reference. Develop tools aimed at tracing and fixing errors associated with application networking.
  • Collaborate with Engineering teams across Elastic to discuss and fulfill their Application Networking requirements.
What You Bring
  • Hands-on experience developing software in Golang with an emphasis on networking components that can scale.
  • Experience working with Kubernetes (Cilium, external-dns, Envoy Gateway & Crossplane) are also great
  • Knowledge with at least one major cloud provider (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and their networking ecosystem
  • Proficient in using AI tools to enhance code functionality and maintainability
  • Facilitated knowledge-sharing initiatives that promoted best practices in application networking across teams
  • Care about the quality of work shipped — testing, observability, and operability

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
