About Elastic

Elastic is on a mission to make real-time data exploration easy and available to anyone. As the company behind the popular open source projects Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana, we're looking to hire team members invested in realizing this goal.

Founded in 2012 in Amsterdam by the people behind Elasticsearch and Apache Lucene, Elastic set forth a vision that search can solve a plethora of data problems. The origins of the company start back in 2010 when Shay Banon wrote the first lines of Elasticsearch and open sourced it as a distributed search engine.

With the rise of cloud computing and changes in IT infrastructure demanding requirements such as real-time search across infinite amounts of structured and unstructured data, Shay foresaw the need for a new type of software to solve today’s real-world data problems. Steven Schuurman, Uri Boness, and Simon Willnauer shared in Shay’s vision, joining forces to create the Elastic company we have today.

Since then, the creators of Kibana, Logstash, and Beats have joined the Elastic family, rounding out a product portfolio known as the Elastic Stack, which is used by millions of developers around the world. The Elastic family unites employees across 32 countries into one coherent team, while the broader community spans across over 100 countries.
