About the team

You dont need to hands on building cloud infrastructure, but you need to be technical enough to understand it and empathize with your customer’s and propose pragmatic and appropriate solutions to their objectives.

On any given day, you might help a VP of Product at a Canadian SaaS company understand the business case for migrating their core platform to AWS, facilitate an co-innovation session between an ISVs product team and AWS, or work with your internal team to unblock a stalled migration thats at risk of missing its go-live milestone.

You’ll be working with some of Canada’s most innovative software companies at a pivotal moment, when AI is fundamentally changing how software is built, delivered, and monetized. If you thrive in environments where technical depth and clear communication are equally valued, this role is for you.

Vous travaillerez avec certaines des entreprises de logiciels les plus novatrices du Canada à un moment charnière, où lIA transforme en profondeur la façon dont les logiciels sont conçus, distribués et monétisés. Si vous vous épanouissez dans un environnement où lexpertise technique et une communication claire sont tout aussi importantes, ce poste est pour vous.
