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.

Your mission: educate, inspire and connect with the developer community by running engaging social media channels. You'll be in charge of X, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Threads and BlueSky.

What You Bring : 

• 4+ years of experience in social media and content strategy in B2B tech with developer audiences.
• A strong portfolio of high-impact social campaigns successfully led in the past, particularly on technical topics.
