What is the Role?
As a Consulting Architect, you will play a pivotal role in helping customers realize the value of Elastic’s Solutions. While your primary focus will be on observability, you are a versatile expert capable of designing and scaling security architectures to strengthen detection, response, and resilience.
Acting as a trusted technical advisor, you will work with enterprises to improve application performance, infrastructure visibility, and end-user experience, while also improving their overall security posture. You will collaborate cross-functionally with Professional Services, Engineering, Product, and Sales to accelerate adoption of the Elastic platform, ensuring customers maximize the value of their data while achieving critical business outcomes.

- Solution Design & Delivery: Translate business and technical requirements into scalable, outcome-driven solutions built on the Elastic Stack.
- End-to-End Engagement: Lead the delivery of customer projects from discovery and roadmap design through implementation, enablement, and optimization.
- Architecting Observability: Partner with customers to deploy and operationalize solutions for distributed tracing, metrics pipelines, log aggregation, and SLOs/SLIs.
- Architecting Security: Guide customers in SIEM, endpoint, and cloud security use cases to improve threat detection and security analytics.
- Data Engineering: Optimize ingestion pipelines for performance, scalability, and resiliency using Elastic Agents, Beats, Logstash, and stream processing.
- Actionable Insights: Design and implement custom dashboards, visualizations, detection rules, and alerting in Kibana for both observability and security operations.
- Technical Leadership: Provide oversight and knowledge transfer to customers and teammates throughout the project lifecycle.
- Community & Culture: Capture and share best practices and solution patterns, contributing to internal enablement and a culture of continuous learning.
What You Bring
- Professional Expertise: 5+ years as a consultant, architect, or engineer with deep expertise in Search, observability & monitoring, and a strong capability in security domains.
- Deployment Experience: Proven track record of deploying Elastic Observability (APM, logs, metrics) and Elastic Security (SIEM, endpoint) or similar enterprise-scale solutions.
- Data Pipeline Mastery: Strong experience with time-series data ingestion, parsing, and normalization (ECS), including the use of Kafka or Redis.
- Infrastructure Knowledge: Hands-on expertise with distributed systems, Linux, Kubernetes, and public cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or GCP.
- Security Literacy: Familiarity with incident response workflows and common frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK, NIST, or ISO 27001.
- Technical Skills: Proficiency in at least one programming or scripting language (e.g., Python, Java, or PowerShell).
- Communication: Strong presentation skills with the ability to engage directly with stakeholders and explain complex technical concepts.
- Education: Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in Computer Science, Engineering, Cybersecurity, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
