What Is The Role : The Developer Content Programs team's mission is to educate, inspire, and connect with the developer community. The Technical Editor is a cross-functional role responsible for ensuring the accuracy, clarity, and relevance of Elastic’s developer-focused content across search, observability, security, and GenAI. This editor will be the source of truth for technical quality, while supporting PMMs, internal engineers, social media managers, and other contributors to ensure that everything we publish is accurate, engaging, and aligned with our developer philosophy. We are looking for a candidate with broad platform knowledge gained through hands-on experience, strong editorial instincts, and a passion for helping teams transform complex technical ideas into content that resonates with developers. You should have meticulous attention to detail, thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment, and bring both creativity and precision to everything you do. This is an individual contributor role. What You Will Be Doing : Write and build high-quality content—tutorials, deep dives, Labs articles, demos, and video explainers for elastic.co or our YouTube channel. Technical content reviews across all formats: blogs, YouTube scripts and videos, short-form social posts, and more. Help ensure that we, Elastic, show up in all of the above spaces in an authentic, developer-first way. Validate correctness and clarify explanations in partnership with engineers and PMs across search, observability, security, and GenAI. Guide writers, video creators, and contributors toward the desired level of detail and narrative structure. Brainstorm and weigh in on emerging content strategies, especially on hot industry topics and the best storytelling angle. Surface recurring questions or themes from various developer forums that should influence future content plans. Strengthen our presence on Reddit and HackerNews, and help the team develop relevant, tonally appropriate promotion strategies. What You Bring : 5 years of engineering experience, proficiency in at least one programming language, and a drive to continue learning the latest technology trends. Experience writing and editing articles, with an ability to quickly diagnose whether a piece is accurate, well articulated, and developer-friendly. Fluent English is required. Excellent editorial judgment and strong time-management skills to run reviews across multiple content streams. Experience working autonomously and self-organizing. Curiosity and adaptability to quickly become an expert on new tools and topics, with an overall love of learning. Comfortable working with a highly distributed team and collaborating with many counterparts across time zones. Bonus Points : Existing Elasticsearch expertise. Experience with writing documentation. A strong social media presence (connected to relevant audiences).
