⭐ What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of experience as a cloud or solutions architect, designing systems and making the platform and technology calls behind them
• Experience designing and building cloud systems end to end, not just contributing to a single layer
• Experience with more than one major cloud platform, such as Microsoft Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud
• Experience building systems that ingest and process high volumes of operational data
• Significant experience designing and deploying databases at scale, including schema design, query performance, and storage trade-offs
• Strong grasp of distributed systems: data flow, service boundaries, failure modes, and resilience patterns
• Experience integrating cloud platforms with on-premises or operationally constrained environments
• Familiarity with SaaS patterns such as multi-tenancy, customer data isolation, and subscription-based delivery
• Experience producing cost analyses and platform recommendations that balance a small start against future growth

Nice to have

• Experience in industrial, IoT or manufacturing environments
• Experience with .NET and SQL Server
• Experience building or anchoring a new engineering team

🔥 What Makes This Role Exciting

• Architect and Builder: A role for someone who wants to design a platform and write the code behind it, rather than choose between the two
• Build the Team: You'll have direct input on which roles are hired next, and in what order, as a new product team takes shape
• Customer Input: Early anchor customers help decide what the product delivers first, giving the design a direct line to real users
• Clear Direction: Business requirements and an MVP target are already defined, so the work starts with a destination
• Long-Term Pipeline: Further cloud initiatives are planned after this first product, with more architecture work to follow

Benefits

• Base Salary: $165,000 – $195,000
• Paid Time Off: Competitive vacation and personal days to maintain a healthy work-life balance
• Health Benefits: Medical and dental benefits with fully employer-paid premiums to support your overall well-being
• RRSP Matching: Employer contributions to a group RRSP program, supporting your long-term financial security
