Developer Advocate

About the Team:

Developers and community matter. Our users and contributors have helped ensure that the Elastic Stack (including Elasticsearch, Kibana, Beats, and Logstash) is more than just code — they are free and open projects that people love to use and love to talk about. Community is core to our company identity.

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 at Elastic include:

• presenting at in-person and virtual conferences or meetups
• answering questions on Discuss (our forum) and Slack
• sharing content on elastic.co or our YouTube channel
• contributing code on GitHub both to Elastic and external repositories

The DevRel team's mission is to educate and help our users succeed by being (or the willingness to become) an expert in Elasticsearch and the Elastic Stack.
