The Opportunity

Highspring is seeking an accomplished Software Architect, Principal Developer, or Staff Engineer to provide technical leadership for a strategic engineering transformation initiative.
This contract opportunity is designed for a senior technology leader who thrives as an individual contributor. The ideal candidate has the technical depth and organizational influence to operate at a Director level but prefers to remain focused on architecture, engineering, and delivering measurable value rather than managing a large team.
You will partner closely with VP-level stakeholders, guide a team of approximately five developers, and lead the architecture and delivery of complex, enterprise-scale technology solutions.

What You'll Do

Lead the design, architecture, and development of enterprise-scale solutions.
Provide technical direction and mentorship to a team of approximately five developers without direct people-management responsibilities.
Serve as a trusted technical advisor to senior leadership.
Translate complex technical concepts, risks, and opportunities into clear business outcomes.
Lead proof-of-concept initiatives, architectural decisions, and engineering best practices.
Balance strategic technology planning with hands-on software development and execution.
Collaborate with technology, business, and finance stakeholders to evaluate, justify, and communicate investment decisions.
Influence engineering direction and technical standards across a broad organizational scope.
Support innovation and modernization initiatives that deliver meaningful business value.

What You Bring to the Table

Significant experience as a Principal Engineer, Staff Engineer, Lead Architect, or in a comparable senior technical leadership role.
A strong hands-on background in software development and solution architecture.
Demonstrated success leading technical teams without formal people-management authority.
Experience operating within complex, large-scale enterprise environments.
The ability to move effectively between strategic thinking, architectural leadership, and hands-on execution.
Exceptional communication, influence, and stakeholder-management capabilities.
Experience engaging with VP-level and C-level executives.
A strong ability to connect technical decisions with business priorities, financial considerations, and measurable outcomes.

Core Skills Required

Enterprise solution architecture
Hands-on software development
Technical leadership and mentorship
Architectural decision-making
Proof-of-concept development
Engineering standards and best practices
Executive stakeholder communication
Business and technology alignment
Strategic planning and hands-on delivery

Preferred qualifications:

Bilingual proficiency in English and French
Based in Montréal or Toronto
Experience delivering innovation initiatives, modernization programs, and rapid proofs of concept

Why Join Highspring

This opportunity offers the ability to:

Lead a strategic engineering transformation while remaining a senior individual contributor.
Work directly with executive stakeholders on high-impact technology and investment decisions.
Shape architecture and engineering direction across a broad enterprise environment.
Combine strategic influence with hands-on technical execution.
Guide a focused development team while continuing to build and deliver solutions.
