The Platform SRE Capacity team’s purpose is ensuring customers have reliable access to our SaaS infrastructure while optimizing for cost-effectiveness. We are looking for people interested in designing and building intelligent software solutions that maximize the efficiency necessary to scale a large, multi-Cloud platform.

• Collaborate with other Elastic Platform Engineering teams on cross-team projects and initiatives.
• Improve engineering standards, tooling, and processes by being an active member in our communities of practice.
