The Elastic IT team is moving beyond simple chat to the next frontier: Agentic Workflows. We are looking for an innovative Elastic AI Engineer to join our team to build autonomous, enterprise-grounded agents that don't just answer questions—they complete complex business tasks to accelerate productivity across the entire organization.

AI Model & Tool Integration: Develop and fine-tune LLMs and integrate them with internal APIs and third-party SaaS tools to enable autonomous action.
Scalable Infrastructure: Firm understanding of cloud-based environments (AWS, Azure, GCP) in order to support the high-concurrency demands of enterprise agents.
Lifecycle Management: Oversee the training, deployment, and performance optimization of agents, ensuring they remain secure, reliable, and compliant.
Technical Leadership: Act as a domain expert on the Elastic Stack, making technical recommendations that push the boundaries of AI-driven productivity.
Documentation: Maintain comprehensive documentation of AI workflows, cloud infrastructure, and deployment processes.
Security: Implement standards for security and data privacy to protect sensitive information and ensure compliance with relevant regulations.

Proven success in delivering independent GenAI projects, specifically those involving autonomous task completion or complex workflow automation.
Agentic Frameworks: Familiarity with LangGraph, LangChain, and LangSmith for building and debugging multi-agent systems.
Expertise in Enterprise Agentic & Workflow Platforms: Deep familiarity with leading agentic AI and workflow automation platforms (such as Microsoft Copilot Studio, Salesforce Agentforce, ServiceNow AI Agents.)
Market Trend Integration: Proven ability to apply emerging market trends—such as Multi-Agent Orchestration and Model Context Protocol (MCP)—to build high-impact, cost-optimized solutions that scale across the enterprise.
Programming: Experience with Python or TypeScript for backend logic and agent orchestration.
Cloud & Orchestration: Familiarity with Kubernetes (Operators/Controllers), Docker, and Terraform for automated deployment.
Model Expertise: Hands-on experience with LLM providers.
Bonus Points
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science or a related engineering field.
