Job description

Google Cloud is looking for a Platform Solutions Architect III to join its team in Montreal, Quebec. This is a senior-level, client-facing role where technical depth meets strategic sales thinking - and where your ability to communicate in both English and French will be essential for supporting regional clients across Canada.

At the intersection of cloud architecture, business development, and customer success, this position asks you to do far more than advise - you'll own the technical account strategy, run complex demos and workshops, and guide customers from initial exploration all the way through to implementation. It's a role built for engineers who thrive in front of stakeholders as much as they do in front of a whiteboard.

About the Role: Platform Solutions Architect III, Google Cloud

As a Platform Solutions Architect, you'll develop and own technical account plans and work closely with sales teams to support targeted motions across Google Cloud's full portfolio. You'll combine expertise in solutions architecture, programming, and sales to run deep-dive workshops, build compelling pilots, and demonstrate the value of Google Cloud Platform through hands-on engagements tailored to each customer's environment.

Beyond the technical win, you'll also lead the transition into the delivery phase - supporting pricing activities, defining initial delivery plans, and ensuring that cross-functional implementation teams are properly set up for success. You'll stay engaged post-sale, monitoring progress and providing support during ramp-up, migration, and deployment phases. Collaboration, strategic thinking, and a customer-first mindset are core to how this role operates.

Benefits and Salary

This position comes with a competitive compensation package. The salary range for Canada is $194,000 - $198,000 CAD per year, plus a 42.86% bonus target, equity, and a comprehensive benefits package. Google is known for its robust employee benefits - you can learn more about what's included at Google's official benefits page.

Responsibilities

This role spans the full customer lifecycle - from early-stage sales engagement through to post-implementation support. You'll be expected to lead technical conversations at the executive level while simultaneously getting hands-on with architecture design, prototyping, and cloud migration planning.

• Develop and own the technical account plan and strategy, participating in planning and supporting targeted sales motions
• Demonstrate value across the Google Cloud Platform portfolio through complex demos, pilots, and in-depth workshops combining sales, programming, and solutions architecture expertise
• Design cross-pillar solutions, drive technical wins, and define initial delivery plans for customers, leading the technical engagement in the solution phase
• Facilitate post-sales transitions by supporting pricing activities and handing off the final delivery plan to implementation teams
• Monitor progress against delivery plans and provide ongoing support to cross-functional teams during ramp, delivery, migration, and implementation phases
• Engage with technical stakeholders and executive leaders to communicate complex cloud strategies clearly and persuasively in both English and French

Requirements / Skills
