Original job description
Thri5 is an AI execution platform for retail operations. We help grocers and retailers turn plans into action in stores, using AI agents and workflows that frontline and head-office teams use every day.
Since our seed round, we've been scaling with customers. After a successful pilot, our platform is now live across Wild Fork's network in the US and Canada, and we're working with major grocers in North America and the UK.
We're hiring a Senior Solutions Engineer / Architect in Toronto to be the technical partner for our retail customers. You'll run the work from the first conversation with a CIO through to a live deployment.
What you'll do
• Lead technical discovery with retail executives and IT teams, and turn their operational problems into solution designs
• Run demos and proofs of concept that win the technical evaluation
• Design integrations with customer systems: data, workforce, task management, and store operations platforms
• Own deployments end to end, working closely with our engineering team
• Shape the product by bringing what you hear from customers back to the team
What we're looking for
• Experience in solutions engineering, solutions architecture, technical consulting, or pre-sales, ideally in retail or enterprise SaaS
• Comfort in front of senior stakeholders and hands-on with APIs, data, and cloud architecture
• A track record of delivering complex implementations at scale
• Retail experience is a big plus, whether from a retailer, a retail-tech vendor, or a consulting firm's retail practice
• A desire to own outcomes, not just recommendations
Why Thri5
We're a small, senior team with high autonomy and real customers in production. If you've done solutions engineering or retail transformation and want to build and own the thing yourself, we'd like to talk.
Base salary, benefits, and competitive equity
Location: Downtown Toronto, hybrid (4 days a week in office)
