Are you a cloud architect who can design a platform from a blank page and stay hands-on to build it?
We're hiring a Cloud Solutions Architect to join an established Canadian software company whose production-monitoring and reporting software is used by packaged goods manufacturers. Its products currently run on customer servers; this role designs and builds the company's first cloud-hosted offering from the ground up, from collecting manufacturing data at customer sites to the reporting customers use.
The role offers a greenfield product to own end-to-end, with the autonomy to make the architectural calls that shape it.
An architect who understands the full pipeline, from data collection at the source to customer-facing reporting, and how each part affects the others
Someone who stays hands-on, building and deploying what they design rather than handing it off
A clear technical communicator who turns requirements into designs an engineering team can build
