Job Description
Elastic Consultant – Multiple Opportunities
SC Clearance (or higher) required
Predominantly remote, with occasional client travel
Outside IR35 contract opportunities available
About the role
We're supporting one of the UK's leading specialist technology consultancies as they continue to expand their Elastic consulting practice. We have multiple opportunities for experienced Elastic Consultants / Senior Elastic Data Engineers to work on complex Search, Security and Observability programmes across Government and enterprise environments.
Rather than working in a traditional engineering or operational support role, you'll be part of an experienced consulting team with exposure to a broad range of customer projects – spanning consulting, architecture, implementation, data onboarding, migration and managed services across the Elastic ecosystem.
What you'll be working on
You'll help customers design, implement and optimise Elastic solutions, with a particular focus on the end-to-end onboarding of security and operational data into Elasticsearch. This can include taking unfamiliar raw data sources through discovery, ingestion, transformation and normalisation, all the way through to production deployment and validation. We're particularly interested in experience across: Elasticsearch, Logstash and Kibana Building ingestion pipelines for raw logs, syslog and security data Grok, Dissect, JSON/KV parsing, enrichment and transformation Mapping and normalising data to Elastic Common Schema (ECS) Elastic Agent, Fleet and integrations Elasticsearch ingest pipelines, Data Streams, templates, mappings and ILM End-to-end data/feed onboarding, testing, troubleshooting and validation Elastic Security / SIEM environments High-volume ingestion architectures, including Kafka Elastic platform migrations, upgrades and optimisation
We have opportunities available for both permanent consultants and Outside IR35 contractors, with predominantly remote working and occasional travel to client sites. Please note that, unfortunately, we are unable to offer visa sponsorship for these positions. Candidates must already have the right to work in the UK and hold active SC clearance (or higher).
