We are looking for a Technical Architect to join our Operational Services team. This is a unique opportunity to shape the future of ArcGIS Enterprise delivery within Esri UK, working across critical sectors and complex environments, while developing your architectural career within a supportive and forward-thinking team.
Operational Services provides a range of services focused on our mission: helping customers succeed by ensuring their systems remain secure, resilient, and healthy.
Initially, you will be responsible for the technical delivery of Enterprise Services, our centre of excellence for ArcGIS Enterprise. This will include mentoring and developing our consultants whilst developing and upholding technical standards and best practices. You will lead on defining reference architectures and patterns, driving observability and proactive service health.
In parallel you will play a key role in transforming how we deliver future ArcGIS Enterprise installs, upgrades, and migrations, driving consistency, quality, and scalability across our services. You will work across a diverse range of environments, including enhanced security environments, public cloud platforms, and Esri UK Managed Services, and support customers across all sectors such as Defence, Public Safety, Government, Commercial, Transport, AEC, and Critical National Infrastructure.
We welcome applications from experienced ArcGIS Enterprise Subject Matter Experts who are ready to take the next step into an Architect role, as well as established Architects with strong ArcGIS Enterprise expertise. We are also happy to consider full and part-time applications.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Due to the nature of some Managed Services (including Defence), you must:
- Be a UK national
- Have lived in the UK for the past 10 years
- Be eligible for, and willing to undergo, high-level security clearance
Your key responsibilities as a Technical Architect will be to:
- Technical Design & Delivery – Design scalable, secure, and commercially viable ArcGIS Enterprise solutions
- Technical Leadership – Mentor and support consultants, fostering a culture of learning and problem-solving
- Architecture Ownership – Lead architecture across the full lifecycle (design → build → operate → optimise)
- Service Innovation – Drive improvements in how we build, upgrade, migrate, and operate systems
- Opportunity Development – Identify and shape new service offerings needed to help our customers keep ArcGIS Enterprise healthy
This would be a great career move if you:
- Have a track-record of successfully engaging with customers with significant, hands-on experience in the design, configuration, and deployment of ArcGIS Enterprise systems.
- Have a deep knowledge of databases, web, applications, integration, software engineering, networks, cloud infrastructure such as AWS or Azure, disaster recovery and high availability systems.
- Understand cybersecurity principles and practices, with a good knowledge of firewalls, zero-trust, SAML.
- Are familiar with automation, Notebooks and Serverless Compute.
- Can talk comfortably with developers working with a range of different languages such as Python and JavaScript.
- Are comfortable with REST APIs.
