Elasticsearch Consultant

Elastic Consultant Multiple Opportunities SC Clearance (or higher) requiredPredominantly remote, with occasional client travelOutside IR35 contract opportunities available
About the role Were supporting one of the UKs 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, youll 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 youll be working on

Youll 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.

Were 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).
