We recently joined forces with a new team, Elastic Code Search and we are now looking to bring on board an experienced UI Designer to join our globally distributed team.

What is Elastic Code Search?

Elastic Code Search is a IDE-like semantic code search solution built on top of the Elastic Stack. It helps development teams to search, navigate and collaborate on large code bases more efficiently.

All while doing so with the full support of a leadership team who knows the importance of design.
