Elastic is looking for an outstanding product mind to join the Search team and help define the future of search at Elastic. The Search team is responsible for building the features, tools, and products that enable our customers to create great search experiences of their own. These search experiences span use cases from website search and intranet search, all the way to powering database search implementations and entire applications with search as a core part of the development stack, using the latest advances in machine learning and semantic search to support the most advanced of needs. As a Senior Product Manager your focus will be to understand the goals of users who are creating these search experiences and help define and prioritize the user experience that will inform and delight their journey.

At Elastic, we have a simple goal: to solve the world's data problems with products that delight and inspire. As the company behind the Elastic Stack, which comprises the popular open-source projects Elasticsearch, Kibana, Logstash, and Beats, we help people around the world do great things with their data.
