Principal Partner Value Engineer at Elastic · LumiJobs

Responsibilities

Design and build Elastic-native internal platforms
The project portfolio spans four areas where the build-vs-buy shift is most compelling:
Platform productivity tools — internal developer portals, knowledge search layers, engineering onboarding systems, and workspace tooling that unifies disparate SaaS tools into a single Elasticsearch-backed search and intelligence layer.
FinOps and AI cost governance — a consolidated cost visibility and anomaly detection system across Elastic's AI providers (Anthropic, OpenAI Codex, GitHub Copilot, Google Gemini) and cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure), replacing commercial FinOps SaaS with an Elastic ML-powered alternative.
IT service management — evaluating and building replacements for commercially purchased SaaS products including incident management, knowledge base search, internal developer portal, and SIEM-correlated security workflows, using Elastic Observability and Elastic Security as the backbone.
Enterprise efficiency systems — custom tooling that reduces manual process overhead across IT, Finance, HR, and Operations, using the LLM Gateway, RAG pipelines, and Elasticsearch as the data and intelligence layer.
Set the engineering standard
As a Principal Engineer, you will establish and own the architectural standards, design patterns, and engineering practices for all IT platform engineering work. You will define how internal systems are built — data models, API design, observability, cost governance, security posture — and be the technical authority others look to when decisions get hard.
Collaborate across the company
Dogfood and validate Elastic's own products
A significant part of the role is running Elastic's own technology in the most demanding possible context: as the engineer responsible for the internal systems that the company depends on every day. Every system you build is a reference architecture. Every insight you generate about what works and what doesn't feed directly into Elastic's product and go-to-market strategy.
15+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 3 years as a principal engineer.
