Security Analyst Experience - Senior Software Engineer, Generative AI

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.

The Security Generative AI team is revolutionizing traditional security operations workflows with innovative features built on top of the Elastic Stack and the Elastic Search AI platform. The Elastic stack is already very popular among the security analyst community, and the Security Generative AI team has the opportunity to significantly improve the user experience and workflows of security analysts. We are using the power of the Elastic Search AI platform along with machine learning and retrieval augmented generation (RAG) techniques to enhance operational efficiency and reduce the time to respond to security threats
