Multi-tenant cloud architecture supporting Canadian data residency requirements (Azure Canada Central or equivalent)
Compliance framework buildout: SOC 2, PIPEDA, MFIPPA, and government-tier security standards relevant to Canadian municipal procurement
CI/CD pipeline, Docker-based infrastructure, codebase integrity, and developer workflow
Technical hiring as the team grows
Translating compliance and product requirements into an executable engineering roadmap

Who you are
5+ years in cloud infrastructure or backend engineering with direct exposure to multi-tenant architecture, data residency, and uptime SLA commitments
