About the role
Authentication, authorisation and tenant isolation inside the Elasticsearch engine, with applied cryptography for real customer requirements. The US senior posting on Elastic's core security team.
The recurring theme across all four regional variants is high-performance security, and it is the honest difficulty. Every access check runs on the hot path, so a correct control that costs too much gets designed around, and then you have neither.
US remote, Java. Distributed team, open codebase, and a security specialism that is narrow enough to be genuinely scarce.
