Principal Software Engineer (Application Networking) - Platform Infrastructure joins the Platform Infrastructure team to define the future of Elastic Cloud application networking. This role involves driving technical vision, architecture, and design for critical systems including Ingress, security controls, private connectivity, and DNS management. The engineer will lead multi-quarter, cross-organizational projects, manage complex incident investigations, and mentor other engineers while ensuring high standards for performance, reliability, and operability. Key requirements include deep expertise in application networking and cloud-native architecture to build large-scale distributed systems rather than using off-the-shelf services. Candidates should possess skills in Kubernetes networking tools like Cilium, external-dns, Envoy Gateway, and Crossplane, along with experience in major cloud providers such as AWS, Azure, or GCP. The role focuses on solving complex infrastructure challenges for the Elastic stack to ensure secure and scalable connectivity.
