- Troubleshoot complex issues across Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana and Beats
- Design and build monitoring,



logging and alerting solutions

What you’ll bring

- Recent hands-on experience as an ELK Administrator or Elastic Stack Engineer in enterprise environments
- Proven delivery of ELK upgrades, migrations or implementations
- Strong skills in Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana and Beats, including performance tuning and troubleshooting
- Solid Linux administration skills
- Ability to own the platform with minimal supervision
- Australian Citizen with active Baseline clearance (mandatory)

Positive to know
