Job description

Overview

We are looking for a Technical Architect (TA) who will report to the Manager of Solution Architecture. The TA will primarily define the technical architecture for specific projects but will also work with the enterprise architect to define standards and alignments for solutions. As part of their role, the TA will work closely with Solution Architect to review and understand the business requirements for a project to design a technology solution that meets those requirements while respecting the guiding principles of the Enterprise Architecture within the actual BRP context.

You’ll have the opportunity to

• Provide an architectural conception of the solution across the Business, Application, Information, and Technology domains through the solution architecture design document.

• Define application architectures that are scalable, secure, and optimized for performance and user experience.

• Build and maintain the application development practice within the digital business unit, defining, documenting, and enforcing coding standards, design patterns, and best practices.

• Establish guidelines for testing, code quality, CI/CD pipelines, and DevOps integration.

• Contribute to the definition of governance models and ensure compliance with enterprise standards.

• Participate actively in the Interface development community of practice, fostering knowledge exchange and continuous improvement.

• Partner with the organization to understand its organizational and departmental strategies and agree on information systems solutions that meet its needs.

• Estimate cost, and prepare business cases for IT solutions, considering infrastructure, licenses, development and support.

You’ll thrive in this role if you have the following skills and qualities

• Bachelor\'s degree in computer science, information systems or a related study, or equivalent project-related experience.

• Minimum of ten years of experience in IT, with at least five years in information system design (7+ years in application development, with at least 3+ years in architecture or technical leadership roles).

• In-depth experience designing and implementing information solutions, with specialization in e-commerce, digital platforms, or customer-facing applications.

• Strong expertise in modern development languages and frameworks (e.g., Java, .NET, Node.js, React, Angular, etc.).

• In-depth experience and understanding of API-first, microservices, and cloud-native design with experience with CI/CD, DevOps, automated testing, and agile delivery models.

• Strategic business acumen and understanding of organizational strategy, and the ability to design information systems to deliver that strategy.

• Excellent communication skills with the ability to explain technical concepts to lay audiences. Some experience working with board-level stakeholders.

• Strong conceptual and analytical skills — demonstrating outside-the-box problem-solving skills and ability to develop solution architecture designs.

• Ability to communicate with internal and external stakeholders outside of Quebec or unilingual English-speaking on a daily basis.
