About Highspring

Highspring is a modern consulting firm that helps organizations deliver large-scale digital transformation initiatives through technology, strategy, and execution excellence. We partner with clients to solve complex business challenges, accelerate innovation, and create measurable outcomes through exceptional talent and expertise.

The Opportunity

Software Architect - Principal Developer / Staff Engineer (Contract)

We are seeking a highly experienced Principal Developer / Staff Engineer to provide technical leadership for a strategic engineering transformation initiative. This role is ideal for a senior technology leader who is passionate about architecture, software engineering, and delivering business value through technology.

As a senior individual contributor, you will work closely with VP-level stakeholders while leading the architecture and delivery of complex enterprise solutions. This opportunity is well suited to someone who operates at a Director-level caliber but prefers hands-on technical leadership over managing large teams.

What You'll Do

Lead the design, architecture, and development of enterprise-scale technology solutions.
Provide technical leadership and guidance to a team of approximately five developers.
Act as a trusted advisor to senior leadership, translating complex technical concepts into business outcomes.
Drive proof-of-concept initiatives (POCs) to validate technology strategies and solutions.
Lead architectural decision-making and promote engineering best practices across initiatives.
Collaborate with technology, business, and finance stakeholders to support investment and technology decisions.
Influence engineering strategy and technical direction across a broad organizational scope.
Balance strategic thinking with hands-on technical execution to ensure successful solution delivery.

What You Bring

Proven experience as a Principal Engineer, Staff Engineer, Lead Architect, or in an equivalent senior technical leadership role.
Strong hands-on background in software development and solution architecture.
Demonstrated experience leading technical teams without direct people management responsibilities.
Exceptional communication and stakeholder management skills, including experience working with VP-level and C-level executives.
Ability to translate technical complexity into clear business value and outcomes.
Strong balance of strategic vision and hands-on delivery capabilities.
Experience working within large-scale enterprise environments.

Additional Assets

Bilingual proficiency in English and French.
Based in Montreal or Toronto.
Experience delivering innovation initiatives, modernization programs, and rapid proof-of-concept engagements.
