Manulife is seeking a Senior Solutions Engineer to help design, scale, and modernize secure cloud platforms that support critical business systems across a global financial services organization.

In this role, you’ll provide technical leadership across Azure platform architecture, CI/CD strategy, and infrastructure as code. You’ll partner closely with engineering teams and stakeholders to deliver resilient, cost-effective, and secure cloud solutions. You will also have the opportunity to explore how emerging AI capabilities can meaningfully enhance modern application platforms-moving beyond experimentation to real-world impact.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys shaping platform direction, mentoring others, and balancing pragmatic delivery with long-term sustainability.

Why Manulife:

- At Manulife, we’re focused on building digital platforms that support millions of customers worldwide-securely, responsibly, and at scale. Our engineering teams value thoughtful architecture, continuous improvement, and inclusive collaboration.
- You’ll join a culture that encourages learning, mentorship, and influence, where diverse perspectives help shape how modern cloud platforms and emerging technologies- including AI-are adopted with purpose and integrity.

Position Responsibilities:

- Design and evolve secure, scalable Azure platform architectures that support modern application workloads
- Define and improve CI/CD strategies, infrastructure standards, and reusable platform patterns
- Lead technical discovery with stakeholders to understand business goals, constraints, and risk tolerance
- Evaluate existing Azure and DevOps environments and recommend modernization improvements




- Guide teams on cloud architecture decisions related to networking, identity, security, observability, and resiliency
- Support containerized and orchestrated workloads using modern deployment models
- Establish and promote DevSecOps practices, including secure access, policy enforcement, and compliance automation
- Mentor engineers and contribute to shared engineering standards and best practices
- Communicate architectural trade-offs clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences
- Work effectively in environments with evolving requirements and incomplete information
- Explore and prototype AI-enabled workflows, tooling, or platform capabilities where they add meaningful value

Required Qualifications:

- Strong experience designing, implementing, and operating Azure cloud environments
- Hands-on experience with infrastructure as code tools such as Terraform or Pulumi
- Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines using tools like GitHub Actions or Jenkins
- Solid understanding of cloud networking, identity, and security principles
- Experience improving reliability, availability, and observability of production systems
- Ability to influence technical direction and mentor others without direct authority
- Comfort working across teams and communicating complex technical topics clearly





Preferred Qualifications:

- Experience with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes, AKS)
- Familiarity with DevSecOps, SRE, or FinOps practices
- Experience with observability tooling such as Azure Monitor, Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, Datadog, or New Relic
- Exposure to AI-assisted development, Copilot tooling, or OpenAI SDKs
- Client-facing or consulting experience
- Strong documentation and diagramming skills (e.g., architecture decision records, system diagrams)

What Success Looks Like:

- Secure, reliable, and scalable Azure platforms with measurable improvements in performance and cost efficiency
- Reusable IaC modules and CI/CD templates adopted consistently across teams
- Clear architectural guidance and modernization roadmaps that reduce risk and accelerate delivery
- Elevated engineering practices through mentorship and cross-team collaboration

When you join our team:

- We’ll empower you to learn and grow the career you want.
- We’ll recognize and support you in a flexible setting where well-being and inclusion are more than just words.
