Solutions Architect in Aylesbury

Make a real difference with location intelligence. We’re looking for Solution Architects who want their work to matter. At Esri UK, you’ll help some of the UK’s largest public and private sector organisations tackle real‑world challenges using cutting‑edge geospatial technology. You’ll join a supportive, friendly team that values collaboration, flexibility, and learning, and you’ll have the chance to shape solutions that genuinely make a difference across the UK.

Location: Home‑based, with some travel within the UK. Must have the right to work in the UK.

Bonus: Annual bonus of around 20%

Working pattern: Flexible working available; full‑time and part‑time applications welcome.

What you’ll be doing:

• Designing and delivering a wide range of technical solutions for customers across multiple sectors, using the latest geospatial and enterprise technologies.
• Working closely with talented colleagues who are passionate about geography, technology, and solving meaningful problems.
• Building a strong understanding of customer organisations and how Esri technology can help them achieve their goals.
• Creating robust, scalable, and commercially viable technical designs using enterprise IT and Esri platform architectures, including modern cloud patterns.
• Supporting Customer Success Managers to identify opportunities where geospatial technology, data, and workflows can add real value.
• Delivering innovative projects and exploring emerging technology trends such as IoT, real‑time GIS, big data analytics, AI/ML, 3D, and digital twins.
• Providing technical leadership and mentoring, contributing to the wider technical direction of the business.

About you:

You don’t need to meet every requirement to apply — we value potential and a willingness to learn. You will ideally:

• Be eligible and prepared to undergo National Security Vetting (NSV) to Security Check (SC) level as a minimum; with some roles requiring Developed Vetting (DV).
• Have experience engaging with customers and hands‑on involvement in the design, configuration, and deployment of enterprise systems.
• Bring strong knowledge of areas such as databases, web technologies, application integration, software engineering, networking, cloud platforms (AWS or Azure), disaster recovery, and high availability.
• Be comfortable working with GIS technologies and geospatial data; experience designing geospatial solutions is important, but deep ArcGIS expertise is not essential.
• Understand cybersecurity principles, such as firewalls, zero‑trust approaches, and SAML.
• Be familiar with automation, Azure DevOps, notebooks, and serverless compute.
• Be confident designing solutions that use REST APIs.
• Build positive relationships and communicate effectively with a wide range of stakeholders.

We work flexibly and empower people to work in a way that suits them and their role. You can be home‑based, office‑based (Aylesbury, Cambridge or Edinburgh), or a mix of both. We are virtual‑first with most customers, although some travel to customer sites and Esri UK offices will be required.
