Elastic Consulting Architect - Public Sector

Elastic is looking for a Consulting Architect to join its growing UK Public Sector practice. The role combines hands-on delivery with leading relationships at senior levels of government, helping align Elastic's work with customers' strategic goals. Because of the organisations involved, Elastic states that you must hold current security clearance, although the requirements also mention candidates who held clearance before or are willing to undergo it.

What the work involves:

• Building strong customer relationships and moving between delivery work and strategic engagements
• Owning a strategic roadmap with customers, including quarterly sessions with senior stakeholders
• Solution design, integration of Elastic products and APIs, platform architecture and capacity planning in mission-critical environments
• Building demos and proofs of concept, plus data modelling, query optimisation, cluster tuning and scaling
• Working with Elastic engineering, product and support teams, and helping the sales team scope opportunities

What Elastic asks for:

• Hands-on experience with Elasticsearch and/or Lucene
• At least 2 years as a software engineer, system administrator or DevOps engineer, and at least 5 years delivering professional services as a consultant
• Experience presenting or teaching technical topics to large audiences
• Knowledge of at least one programming language, Linux, Java and databases, and experience with large distributed systems
• Willingness to travel, as much of the work is onsite with customers

Elastic Certified Engineer certification, a computer science degree and open-source contributions are listed as bonus points.

What Elastic says it offers:

• Pay based on the work you do at Elastic rather than your previous salary
• Health cover for you and your family in many locations
• Flexible locations and schedules for many roles
• A generous number of holiday days each year
• Donation matching up to $2,000 (or local equivalent) and up to 40 hours a year for volunteering
