Consulting Architect - Platform

About the role

You are the person a customer calls when their Elasticsearch platform is the problem, or when they need one designed properly the first time. That means you decide the shape of a cluster and then defend that decision — node topology, shard strategy, data tiers, lifecycle and retention — with the sizing arithmetic to back it up.

What you'll do

• Own sizing and capacity planning as a derivation from workload characteristics — ingest rate, document shape, retention, query concurrency
• Run health checks and remediation on production estates, and redesign sharding, mapping and index strategies where the original design no longer holds
• Lead major-version upgrades, snapshot and disaster recovery strategy, and multi-cluster architectures
• Work directly with customer architects, platform owners and engineering leadership; run discovery, present designs
• Build reusable tooling, automation and IP that makes the next engagement faster, including AI-assisted tooling for diagnosis, configuration and reporting

What you need

• 8–14 yrs of experience
• Elasticsearch
• Dashboarding
• Linux
• Any graduate
