Original job description

Enterprise Solution Architect, Legacy Modernization (Contract)

Location: Toronto, ON (Hybrid, 2-3 days one week, 5 days across two weeks.)

Language: Strong written and spoken English communication skills

Duration: 6 months, with possible extensions.

About the Opportunity

Are you an experienced Solution Architect who enjoys untangling complex legacy systems and shaping practical modernization strategies? We're looking for a seasoned professional to lead a high-impact technology transformation within a large higher education institution.

You'll assess an established student information platform, identify modernization opportunities, and design a roadmap toward a scalable, secure, Azure-based architecture. Working closely with IT leadership, developers, and business stakeholders, you'll help create a more connected and personalized digital experience for students.

What's In It for You

Opportunity to lead a meaningful enterprise modernization initiative.

Collaborate with experienced technical teams and senior decision-makers.

Influence long-term architecture decisions while improving essential student services.

Your Responsibilities

You'll lead architecture assessments, code-level diagnostics, dependency mapping, and technical debt evaluations.

You'll assess Java 8, Angular/AngularJS, Db2, REST APIs, JAX-RS, JPA, Maven, Gradle, and IBM JSR-352 integrations.

You'll define target architecture, service boundaries, API strategies, and Azure PaaS hosting recommendations.

You'll design modernization approaches using domain-driven design, strangler-fig migration, and branch-by-abstraction.

You'll develop implementation-ready designs, transaction models, migration plans, and measurable performance targets.

You'll present recommendations, technical trade-offs, and a phased roadmap to leadership while transferring knowledge to internal teams.

Skills and Qualifications

10+ years of enterprise or solution architecture experience, including three major legacy modernization engagements and two monolith decomposition initiatives.

Proven experience designing high-volume, business-critical systems while maintaining operational continuity.

Expertise in Azure App Service, containers, API Management, Event Hubs, Azure SQL, landing zones, and hybrid connectivity.

Strong knowledge of REST, event-driven architecture, message queues, OpenAPI, anti-corruption layers, and relational databases, preferably Db2.

Proficiency in C4 modelling, bounded contexts, architecture decision records, sequence diagrams, data ownership, consistency patterns, observability, security, and cost optimization.

Bachelor's degree in a related field or equivalent experience. TOGAF, Azure Solutions Architect Expert, or recent architecture certifications preferred.

Strong stakeholder communication and facilitation skills. Higher education systems, HERM, Microsoft Entra ID, and enterprise identity integration experience are assets.
