In this role, you will collaborate with business and technical teams to understand client needs, recommend appropriate solutions, and implement secure, scalable, and high-performing cloud architectures.

Who We Are

Founded in Montreal in 2014, Techso helps organizations accelerate their digital transformation through three areas of expertise:

• IT Infrastructure Management;
• Custom Application Development;
• Product Lifecycle Management (PLM).

Our team works with recognized clients across a variety of industries, including aerospace, automotive, finance, events, and watchmaking.

At Techso, we value the quality of our projects and relationships over volume. Our core values—Fun, Trust, Efficiency, and Quality—guide both the way we work with our clients and how we collaborate as colleagues.

Nice to Have

• A Microsoft Azure certification;
• Experience with penetration testing or cloud security assessments;
• Knowledge of Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform;

• Knowledge of observability tools such as Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, Grafana, or Prometheus;
• Experience with containerization and orchestration technologies;
• Experience in solution architecture or cloud governance;
