Solid background in Go (Elastic Agent and Beats are primarily Go).
Track record of leading large, multi-team technical initiatives from ambiguous design space to shipped software.
Comfortable with the full arc of a technical decision: writing the design doc, socializing it across stakeholders, building consensus, and holding the line on what matters.
