Original job description

🏗️ Are you a cloud architect who can design a platform from a blank page and stay hands-on to build it?

We're hiring a Cloud Solutions Architect to join an established Canadian software company whose production-monitoring and reporting software is used by packaged goods manufacturers. Its products currently run on customer servers; this role designs and builds the company's first cloud-hosted offering from the ground up, from collecting manufacturing data at customer sites to the reporting customers use.

The role offers a greenfield product to own end-to-end, with the autonomy to make the architectural calls that shape it.

💻 Who You Are

An architect who understands the full pipeline, from data collection at the source to customer-facing reporting, and how each part affects the others
Someone who stays hands-on, building and deploying what they design rather than handing it off
A self-starter who takes ownership in a small division where one person carries broad responsibility
Comfortable making sound decisions before every requirement is fully defined
A clear technical communicator who turns requirements into designs an engineering team can build

📍 Work Type

Location: Oakville, ON (Hybrid, 2 days per week)
Vacancy Type: This role is a newly created position

🎯 What You'll Do

Design the architecture for a new multi-tenant SaaS product, from data ingestion at customer sites through cloud-hosted services to customer-facing reporting
Build, deploy, and maintain the cloud infrastructure and backend components hands-on while the engineering team is hired
Design data pipelines that move operational data from on-premises manufacturing environments into the cloud reliably and securely
Define patterns for multi-tenancy, customer data isolation, scalability, and security
Evaluate cloud platforms and technology options, recommending where to start small and how to scale based on cost and long-term maintainability
Learn how the company's existing on-premises product works and carry that knowledge into a lighter cloud offering
Deliver a starting proposal for the platform and the roles needed to build it within the first three months
Stand up CI/CD pipelines, Infrastructure-as-Code, and monitoring for the new platform
Work with a small group of early customers to identify what the product needs first

⭐ What We're Looking For

5+ years of experience as a cloud or solutions architect, designing systems and making the platform and technology calls behind them
Experience designing and building cloud systems end to end, not just contributing to a single layer
Experience with more than one major cloud platform, such as Microsoft Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud
Experience building systems that ingest and process high volumes of operational data
Significant experience designing and deploying databases at scale, including schema design, query performance, and storage trade-offs
Strong grasp of distributed systems: data flow, service boundaries, failure modes, and resilience patterns
Experience integrating cloud platforms with on-premises or operationally constrained environments
Familiarity with SaaS patterns such as multi-tenancy, customer data isolation, and subscription-based delivery
Experience producing cost analyses and platform recommendations that balance a small start against future growth

Nice to have:

Experience in industrial, IoT or manufacturing environments
Experience with .NET and SQL Server
Experience building or anchoring a new engineering team

🔥 What Makes This Role Exciting

Architect and Builder: A role for someone who wants to design a platform and write the code behind it, rather than choose between the two
Build the Team: You'll have direct input on which roles are hired next, and in what order, as a new product team takes shape
Customer Input: Early anchor customers help decide what the product delivers first, giving the design a direct line to real users
Clear Direction: Business requirements and an MVP target are already defined, so the work starts with a destination
Long-Term Pipeline: Further cloud initiatives are planned after this first product, with more architecture work to follow

Base Salary: $165,000 – $195,000
Paid Time Off: Competitive vacation and personal days to maintain a healthy work-life balance
Health Benefits: Medical and dental benefits with fully employer-paid premiums to support your overall well-being
RRSP Matching: Employer contributions to a group RRSP program, supporting your long-term financial security
