Madhura Chopda
Director of Engineering, Security Analyst Experience
My name is Madhura Chopda and I currently work at Elastic as director of engineering leading enterprise security analyst experience team. I have been here for ~3 years. I lead a team of awesome engineers and leaders who are passionate about making an impact, build performant enterprise security software, believe in open culture and collaboration. It has been a great journey so far.
I started my engineering career working in access, provisioning and identity management at Persistent Systems in Pune, India in 2004. A serendipity brought me to the silicon valley in 2007 and that shaped my career into enterprise security further. For 12 years I have had the pleasure of being associated with ArcSight’s enterprise security solution suite. My work included numerous projects related to data collection, parsing, normalization, data storage, monitoring, config mgmt, etc. I am very passionate about working with people.
My source of energy and my support system is my family. They always make sure that there is never a dull moment when I am at home.
I look forward to being part of another great group here
Stacey King Poling
Director, Platform Engineering Productivity
I am a devops, observability, and integration engineer with 15+ years of leadership - accomplished in a broad scope of technology, technical product management and driving initiatives for transformation.
Seeing the whole picture, finding the gaps and improving the process overall is what I do best. Most importantly- I am REALLY, REALLY good at creating relationships and building bridges between the silos - creating true DevOps culture.
It really fires me up to improve quality in any area that I can find, turning resource waste into revenue generation. The reality is, if you get the environments supporting code in a fast, seamless, failure-proof way and deploy code that is high quality and fully tested – spending less time in triage or outages - you have more time for innovation and developing better, customer-focused products - all driving an increase in business. Who doesn’t love that?
Raya Fratkina
Director, Software Engineering (Stack - Kibana)
I am an applied scientist, a software engineer, a business analyst, and a product manager... and I have over 15 years of experience managing development teams. My interests and experience focus on search, knowledge management, data visualization, and interaction design. I have worn many different hats, but what I like most is helping a team invent, design, and build great applications that serve end users. Because great software is always a team effort.

Careers at Elastic
Diversity drives our identity. Your Elastic career will be unique to you, and that’s how we like it.

And with fantastic benefits and flexible work options, we’re here with the assist while you chase your dreams. Elastic is growing fast. Come join our cluster.
Life happens while we work
Working across time zones and often from our homes, life happens in the background while we have meetings and catch up on email. This might mean a kid on your lap as you give a demo from the couch, a dog playing fetch beside your desk, or a partner banging the pots and pans in the background while making dinner. At Elastic, this doesn’t faze us. We’re not just family friendly, we’re life friendly. It's part of our Source Code.
And work happens anywhere
Some roles let you work from wherever: home, coffee shop, or a wifi-enabled Himalayan hut. Other jobs are better in an office where we tailor the work to clients and communities in specific regions. And many positions are suited to both. There’s flexibility.
Plus, we recognize the importance of being face-to-face, so we make that happen as well. Whether it’s at an Elastic{ON} event or team all-hands, you’ll get to connect with other Elasticians every year.
We take care of our people

- Craft your calendar - Flexible location and schedule for many roles.
