Job Description
About The Role
Developers and community matter at Elastic. Our users and contributors have helped ensure that the Elastic Stack (including Elasticsearch, Kibana, Beats, and Logstash) is more than just code — they are open source projects that people love to use.
Are you the kind of person who is keen on sharing technology with the world and supporting our global user-base? Your activities as a Developer Advocate with a focus on content creation include:
- Publish deep-dive videos that connect search, vector databases, and agentic workflows.
- Stay up to date with the latest trends in search and AI to cover what's new and exciting for our users.
- Build open-source demos and example applications on GitHub that combine Elasticsearch with developer and AI tools.
- Contribute to Elasticsearch Labs, Elastic.co, and our YouTube channel.
The DevRel team's mission is to educate and help our users succeed by being an expert in Elasticsearch and the Search + AI ecosystem.
If you read this far and think: "that's me!" — You probably won't need to read any further, and we should have a conversation. But if you doubt the experience we expect you to have, the following should help clarify.

- Explore and explain how Elasticsearch integrates with other tools and protocols in the ecosystems (e.g., LLM creators, frameworks, and Cloud providers).
- Prototype and publish sample applications showing end-to-end Search + AI use cases.
- Bring a creative twist to Elastic's content creation to keep existing users engaged and capture new audiences.
- Provide feedback to product and engineering teams based on your hands-on experience and community interactions.
