What is the role

The Ingest team at Elastic is responsible for some of the most popular open source data collection tools in the world. Used for Cloud-native Observability and Enterprise Security use-cases, our products collect and ingest data easily, efficiently, and quickly. Learn more about them on our website here or even better by testing the data ingestion user experience yourself on Elastic Cloud. We are responsible for OpenTelemetry Collector, Integrations platform as a marketplace like experience to discover and build third party integrations to bring data into elastic stack, and data transformation and processing tooling of our cloud pipelines.

The Cloud Pipeline Product Manager drives the user experience and tooling for data collection, data transformation, enrichment and data routing. The two personas that we closely work with, are Cloud-native Observability and Security users. Cloud-native Observability customers want real-time data about their Serverless, Kubernetes, and CSP-Specific services. Security users want to know where they are vulnerable, when an intrusion happened, and how to stop it. In addition to our own data pipeline products, we also need to ensure that we integrate with industry relevant data pipeline solutions such as confluent kafka, cribl etc. As a product manager, you will be responsible for driving product strategy coherency and execution and help increase adoption of data pipeline products across these two user segments.
