What is the Role
The Marketing Innovation team at Elastic is responsible for developing and maintaining innovative internal applications that improve marketing efficiency and execution. Our flagship app is a homegrown platform crafted to integrate campaign planning, performance reporting, automation, and audience management.
We're seeking a Senior Full Stack Application Engineer who can serve as the primary technical owner for the application, lead other engineers, and partner closely with Technical Program Managers (TPMs), and users to bring our roadmap to life.

- Translate business requirements from marketers and TPMs into scalable, intuitive, and high-performance application features.
- Own technical strategy, design, and implementation, ensuring the platform is modular, maintainable, and performant.
- Collaborate with back-end engineers and infrastructure teams to build and maintain a smooth and efficient development lifecycle.
- Lead technical planning and estimation, helping prioritize work based on impact, feasibility, and dependencies.
- Mentor junior developers, conduct code reviews, and raise the engineering bar through thoughtful feedback and guidance.
- Partner with leadership to craft the vision, roadmap, and technical stack of the platform.
- Help us continue to consolidate marketing tools, reduce SaaS dependencies, and deliver custom-built, natively integrated applications that meet unique business needs.
