Solutions Engineer, Telecommunications

About VertiGIS

VertiGIS builds powerful GIS software that helps organizations design, manage, and operate complex networks and infrastructure. Our products enhance leading mapping platforms, most notably Esri’s ArcGIS, and are used globally by telecommunications operators, utilities, and public sector organizations.

Within VertiGIS, the Telecommunications Business Unit focuses on enabling fiber and telecom operators to plan, document, and operate their networks more efficiently. Our flagship telco product, ConnectMaster, supports the full network lifecycle across planning, design, documentation, and operations.

We offer challenging and meaningful careers in a collaborative, international environment. Our teams are made up of driven, curious, and supportive people who enjoy learning, growing, and doing impactful work together.

The Role

We are looking for a Solutions Engineer with a strong technology background with the ability to translate that into business value. Are you people-focused and passionate about outreach and engagement with prospects, customers, and partners? Are you a problem solver and solution visionary? Are you a leader, mentor, and change agent?

This position provides the opportunity to support global business development of the VertiGIS telecommunications solutions portfolio by defining and bringing to life solutions that demonstrate our business value.

Fundamental to this role is the ability to build applications that show how our technology solves real world problems — starting with the business problem through to the technology solution.
