Kyle Pollich is a Senior Engineering Manager with 11 years of experience leading teams that build observability, agent management, and ingestion infrastructure at Elastic. He has a proven track record of scaling teams (growing from one to two teams and 13 engineers), launching a cloud ingestion org from scratch, and delivering large cross-functional initiatives such as automatic upgrades across 100K+ agents. Technically hands-on, Kyle contributes to the widely used elastic/kibana project—improving Fleet agent and policy management—and balances that with product ownership and cross-org alignment. He coaches senior engineers into visible leaders, promotes engineer-driven ownership models, and embeds operational best practices like on-call rotations and blameless RCAs. Based in Pennsylvania, he combines backend systems experience with strong product sensibility to turn complex, distributed requirements into reliable, scalable services.
