As a Senior Elastic Security & Observability Engineer, you will make an important contribution to developing observability solutions for application and infrastructure administrators/developers. While developing these solutions, you will think end-to-end about the challenge together with the customer: how do you automatically collect data from common data sources, how do you store this efficiently in Elasticsearch, how do you present this information to the user, and what actions must be taken to convert the raw data into actionable information.

Your task is to work on UIs and APIs in Kibana for observability users. You will work together with the UI team and product management to build high-quality, intuitive, and innovative UIs and robust APIs to drive the experience.

Additionally, you will work primarily on IT operations data analytics and convert this into (Elastic) Rules for the benefit of IT operational support. Furthermore, you will support the IT Operations team with further automating the (zero touch) deployment of the IT Operations product suite using Ansible.

Furthermore, you will be responsible for implementing the Security modules within Elastic.

This includes, for example, analyzing data against SIEM rules to detect certain activity in order to establish a higher level of security.

You will work hybrid. A number of days per week you will work from a client location in the center of the country, or from the Kyndryl head office in Hoofddorp, and a number of days per week you will work from home.
