Principal Software Engineer (Application Networking) joins the Platform Infrastructure team to define the technical vision and architecture for Elastic Cloud application networking. This role focuses on building and scaling critical infrastructure components including Ingress, security controls, private connectivity, and DNS management. The successful candidate will lead multi-quarter, cross-organizational projects, drive high-level designs from proposal to general availability, and manage complex incident investigations while mentoring other engineers. Key technical requirements include deep expertise in cloud-native architecture and large-scale distributed systems rather than 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 solves the challenge of ensuring reliable, secure, and high-performance connectivity for the broader Elastic stack.
