Job Description
Elastic is hiring a senior software engineer for its Integrations team. The team shapes how Elastic shows up inside AI assistants and agent-driven developer tools, which increasingly serve as the starting point for developer work. It owns the developer-facing products that connect Elastic to the wider ecosystem, including language clients, the command-line interface, the MCP server, outside integrations and agent skills.
The work includes building and evolving the Elastic MCP server and its supporting infrastructure, mainly in Go, and creating a platform for universal agent skills. That platform covers a portable skill format, authoring and publishing tools, and linting so that any team can release a skill that works across agents. The engineer would help define the correctness bar, making sure shipped skills and tools are validated through evaluations, and would contribute to the Elastic CLI and to libraries and integrations written in Go and Rust.
The role also involves building connections that bring Elastic into outside AI platforms, working with product teams and external partners to shape and deliver them. Product-minded input is valued: the posting asks for opinions on what should be built and why.
Candidates should have at least eight years of backend engineering experience on services, systems or libraries, and a working understanding of large language models, agents, skill frameworks and MCP. Recent, substantial hands-on Go work is required, along with willingness to pick up unfamiliar languages and codebases. Understanding of how clients and servers talk over the network, including HTTP and REST-style interfaces, is expected, together with a priority on making tools easy for developers to use.
The posting also looks for a drive to verify correctness through evaluations, the ability to work with self-direction in a remote team spread across regions, and clear communication with customers and outside partners.
The typical starting base salary range is 55,800 to 88,300 EUR. Compensation is base salary only, with no variable component.
The listed location is the United Kingdom.
Responsibilities
- Maintain and grow the Elastic MCP server, along with the systems behind it, primarily in Go
- Build a shared system for universal agent skills covering packaging, authoring, publishing and linting
- Raise the correctness bar by validating shipped skills and tools through evaluations
- Ship integrations that bring Elastic into outside AI platforms, working with partners
- Contribute to the Elastic CLI to improve efficiency for developers and their agents
- Develop, maintain and support libraries, tools and integrations for the Elastic Stack in Go and Rust
- Offer product-minded input and argue for what should be built, and why
Requirements
- Eight-plus years building backend software for services, systems or libraries
- Proficiency with AI and ML frameworks, plus familiarity with LLMs, agents, skill frameworks and MCP

- Willingness to pick up unfamiliar languages and codebases
- Strong attention to usability and the developer experience
- Strong communication, including with customers and outside partners, and self-direction in a remote team spread across regions

- Experience working alongside external partner engineers or third-party developer groups
- Prior experience with Elastic products
