Sr. Principal, Enterprise Architect

At Interac, we design and deliver products and solutions that give Canadians control over their money so they can get more out of life. But that’s not all. Whether we’re leading real-time money movement, driving innovative commerce solutions like open payments for transit systems, or making advancements in new areas like verification and open banking, we are playing a key role in shaping the future of the digital economy in Canada.

Want to make a lasting impact amongst a community of creative thinkers, problem solvers, technical gurus and high-performance application developers? We want to hear from you.

The Sr. Principal, Enterprise Architect—reporting to the Leader, Architecture—will be deployed to a platform to support its objectives and guide it on a multi-year journey for technology transformation. Working directly with the platform leadership and owners, the Architect will ensure the backlog includes what is necessary to meet enterprise objectives and help prioritize related work into release plans that both deliver business value and support technology transformation over time. We want YOU, because you have taken a leadership role in similar work in the past, and can draw on your experiences to act as a mentor both within the architecture practice, and within the platform teams supported, helping everyone raise their game to deliver both business and enterprise value at the same time.

The successful candidate will have deep experience in delivering technology platform services to product line teams. The platforms you have enabled may include major Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) like Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and / or Google Cloud Platform (GCP), as well as popular application services offered across such platforms for databases, container management, service meshes, event streaming, cryptographic material management, etc., and integrated SaaS solutions for functions like Identity and Access Management (IAM), Content Delivery Networks (CDNs), and more. With this kind of experience under your belt, we will support you to develop into a new kind of “enterprise architect” that is far from the old school ivory tower types that go by the same name. At Interac, the expectation will be to blend engineering with design and architecture in this role to shift architecture left in the SDLC, reducing the need for review cycles by providing agile development teams with solutions they can drop directly into their platforms from day one to be “pre-compliant” with enterprise standards. It’s a different kind of mindset for architects. And so we’re looking for a different kind of candidates here. If this is an exciting proposition for you, and you feel like you could dive right in to helping us establish this new kind of architecture practice, give us a call. We can’t wait to hear from you!

You'll be responsible for :

• Partnering with platform leadership and owners on backlog population, curation, prioritization, and release planning across multiple squads
• Managing architectural requirements in platform backlogs
• Technical debt tracking and remediation planning
• Conducting well architected reviews and map findings to remediations in the backlog
• Contribution to, and leadership within, working groups tasked with continuous, iterative cross-PL product convergence and platform standardization
• Curating / incubating / prototyping / delivering new potentially shared capabilities in partnership with your aligned PL team and others in the architecture practice
• Prototyping / POC patterns, create docs / cookbooks, and executable code.
• Product-to-platform dependency tracking
• Peer enablement for the Application Architecture domain, leading a working group accountable for supporting fellow architects to upskill on application architecture and related skillsets (e.g. development and engineering)
• Providing executive & program advice and consulting
• Governing architectural and decision quality

You bring :

• Experience as a practiced Information Technology professional for more than 10 years
• At least 7 years of experience on teams delivering and designing software applications
• Eligibility to work for Interac Corp. in Canada in a full-time capacity
• Recent and in-depth experience architecting, designing, POCing, prototyping, and testing technology products and / or platforms on cloud platforms (e.g. Microsoft Azure and AWS) and on premise
• Experience working on online transaction processing solutions with very high availability and resilience expectations
