Interested in joining one of Canada’s top performing asset managers? This includes public cloud platforms (Azure, AWS), identity and access management (Entra ID, Active Directory, hybrid identity), and Microsoft 365 platform services.

The focus is platform ownership: defining architecture, standards, and guardrails, and ensuring platforms are scalable, secure, and cost-efficient. At the same time, strong delivery experience and hands-on technical depth are essential. You are expected to bring practical expertise, make sound technical decisions, and guide complex work with credibility while remaining accountable for direction and outcomes.

You will operate as a senior individual contributor, working closely with other Platform Owners, Security, and Operations. Engineering work is executed by Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), but you remain closely involved in design decisions, complex problem-solving, and key technical trade-offs. Our offices currently operate on a hybrid model with three days in office.

This includes Azure and AWS platforms, identity and access management across Entra ID and Active Directory, and Microsoft 365 from an architecture, security, and integration perspective. You will define target architectures, standards, and guardrails to ensure scalability, security, cost efficiency, and consistency across the organization. You will own the organization’s identity foundation, including authentication and authorization models, access patterns, and security controls across cloud and legacy environments.

You will partner with other Platform Owners to ensure clear boundaries and integration points, while SMEs execute implementation aligned to your standards.
