Position Description
Help optimize and transform client infrastructure with cloud technologies and generative AI.
At CGI Montréal, you will join a team of architects helping clients modernize existing infrastructure. You will use generative AI tools to accelerate analysis, design and delivery while maintaining quality, security and human oversight.
Your future duties and responsibilities
What you will do
- Contribute to technical RFP responses, estimates and client presentations in Montréal.
- Listen to clients, clarify their needs and translate them into clear technical proposals.
- Design cloud architecture components (governance, identity, networking, security, data, business continuity and costs) using team reference models, with AWS or GCP equivalents when needed.
- Support the design of cloud platforms hosting AI solutions (models, document retrieval and agents), with appropriate security and cost controls.
- Use AI coding assistants and agents in accordance with team practices, including code reviews, testing, security checks and human validation.
- Automate deployments using infrastructure as code (IaC) and CI/CD pipelines to make delivery reliable and repeatable.
- Help assess existing client infrastructure and applications, compare modernization options (optimize, transform or replace) and use AI to support code analysis.
- Track cloud and AI spending, including token usage, and flag variances to the enterprise architect.
- Apply client requirements, including those of regulated sectors (resilience, security, DORA, the EU AI Act and data sovereignty), with expert support.
- Keep AI practices current, document work, share lessons learned and grow toward becoming a trusted architecture resource.
Required Qualifications To Be Successful In This Role
What you bring
- 1–3 years of experience in cloud architecture design or cloud engineering, or equivalent training.
- Cloud architect certification and foundational knowledge of automation and engineering: IaC, CI/CD, testing and code reviews.
- Regular use of AI coding assistants or agents, with critical evaluation of outputs.
- Basic understanding of security and resilience requirements in regulated industries.
- Fluency in French and English; ability to work in a hybrid setting in Montréal and prepare proposals and present solutions in English for clients and partners.
Nice to have
- FinOps certification.
- Recent AI certification from a major cloud provider (e.g., AWS Machine Learning Engineer, Google Professional Machine Learning Engineer or a Google agentic AI certification).
- Data science skills.
- Experience building AI agents, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) solutions, and prompts, skills or agent execution loops.
- Participation in a project to transform existing infrastructure and applications.
Compensation and position status
Estimated annual salary range: CAD $70,000–$135,000. Compensation decisions consider qualifications, experience, education, certifications and the geographic market. This role is an existing vacancy.
Together, as owners, let’s turn meaningful insights into action.
Life at CGI is rooted in ownership, teamwork, respect and belonging. Here, you’ll reach your full potential because…
