The Position

Ashnik is looking for a highly skilled L3 Elastic Observability Engineer to join our Technology Solutions Team.

This is a senior, hands-on role for engineers who have designed, built, and stabilized Elastic clusters from scratch, handled complex performance issues, and acted as the final technical escalation point. You will work on greenfield and large-scale production deployments, solve deep performance and architecture issues, and collaborate closely with customers and internal teams to ensure reliability, scalability, and long-term success of Elastic-based observability platforms.

This role demands strong technical depth, structured problem-solving, and transparent communication.

Key Responsibilities

Architecture & Implementation
- Design, implement, and stabilize greenfield Elasticsearch clusters for observability use cases (logs, metrics, traces, APM).
- Own cluster architecture decisions: node roles, shard strategy, index lifecycle, storage, and scaling models.
- Plan and execute cluster upgrades,



version migrations, and re-architecture with minimal downtime.

Performance & Troubleshooting
- Act as L3 escalation for complex production issues related to:
- cluster instability
- indexing/search performance
- JVM, heap, GC, and memory pressure
- shard imbalance and hot nodes
- query and ingestion bottlenecks
- Perform deep root-cause analysis and drive permanent fixes—not workarounds.
- Tune Elasticsearch for high-throughput, low-latency workloads.

Platform & Infrastructure
- Work extensively on Linux-based systems for performance tuning, networking, and storage optimization.
- Deploy and operate Elastic on Kubernetes environments (ECK or custom setups).
- Integrate Elastic with ingestion pipelines using Logstash, Beats, Elastic Agent, and other data sources.
- Support deployments across on-prem and cloud platforms (AWS / Azure / GCP).

Operational Excellence
- Define and enforce bes
