From the original posting

Elastic, the Search AI Company, enables everyone to find the answers they need in real time, using all their data, at scale — unleashing the potential of businesses and people. The Elastic Search AI Platform, used by more than 50% of the Fortune 500, brings together the precision of search and the intelligence of AI to enable everyone to accelerate the results that matter. By taking advantage of all structured and unstructured data — securing and protecting private information more effectively — Elastic’s complete, cloud-based solutions for search, security, and observability help organizations deliver on the promise of AI.

What Is The Role :

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 open source projects that people love to use.

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 Senior Developer Advocate with a focus on content creation include:

Publish deep-dive videos that connect search, vector databases, and agentic workflows. Or covers observability with logs, metrics, and traces including the OpenTelemetry perspective.
Stay up to date with the latest trends in search and AI or observability to cover what's new and exciting for our users.
Build open-source demos and example applications on GitHub that combine Elasticsearch with developer and AI tools.
Contribute to Elasticsearch Labs and our YouTube channel.

The DevRel team's mission is to educate and help our users succeed by being an expert in Elasticsearch and the Search + AI or observability ecosystem.

If you read this far and think: "that's me!" — You probably won't need to read any further, and we should have a conversation. But if you doubt the experience we expect you to have, the following should help clarify.

What You Will Be Doing :

Create high-quality technical videos focused on search, AI/ML, observability and Elasticsearch as a platform. This covers foundational concepts, sophisticated use-cases, and research trends.
Explore and explain how Elasticsearch integrates with other tools and protocols in the ecosystems (e.g., LLMs, frameworks, OpenTelemetry and Cloud providers).
Prototype and publish sample applications showing end-to-end Search + AI or observability use cases.
Bring a creative twist to Elastic's content creation to keep existing users engaged and capture new audiences.
Provide feedback to product and engineering teams based on your hands-on experience and community interactions.

What You Bring :

A proven track record of creating highly technical and engaging videos — share your best work with us! This is mandatory in the application.
Strong technical background and experience in an engineering role.
Empathy for the community to help them solve their issues, provide internal feedback to make Elastic’s products better, and fix problems where possible.
Comfortable working with a highly distributed team.
Experience working self-driven and self-organizing.
Excellent spoken and written communication skills in English.
