Original job description

Software Architect (Full Stack)

Department: Product Development

Employment Type: Full Time

Location: Canada - Remote (0002)

Description

This is a flexible position and has the option of working in our Toronto office full time, hybrid throughout the week or working entirely remotely in Canada.

Vena Solutions is hiring a Solution Architect to support the evolution of applications and services within Vena’s growing SaaS platform. In this role, you’ll work closely with experienced Solution Architects, product managers, and engineering teams to help design and deliver secure, scalable, resilient, and high-quality solutions that meet real customer and business needs. You’ll contribute to solution architecture for new and existing capabilities by translating requirements into well-reasoned design proposals, supporting architectural reviews, and helping ensure solutions align with established patterns and standards. This role provides hands-on exposure to cloud-based application design and data-rich, integrated systems, while building fluency in key non-functional considerations such as performance, security, reliability, and data integrity.

As part of your day-to-day work, you’ll use AI-assisted tools to support architectural analysis, explore design options, assess trade-offs, and improve documentation. You’ll learn how to apply these tools responsibly and effectively, while developing sound judgment and accountability as your architectural responsibilities grow over time. Collaboration is central to this role. You’ll work alongside teams across Product, Engineering, CloudOps, Infrastructure, and Security, supporting solutions from early design through delivery and ongoing evolution. You’ll also help teams adopt AI in practical, responsible ways, ensuring designs remain transparent, well-understood, and aligned with customer trust, governance, and compliance expectations.

At Vena, innovation is driven by a focus on customer outcomes and continuous improvement. This role is a strong fit if you enjoy learning through real-world problem solving, working in a fast-moving SaaS environment, and growing your impact as a solution architect while contributing meaningfully to the products and teams you support.

How You'll Make an Impact

Solution Architecture, Strategy & Delivery:
- Partner with Product Management, domain experts, senior architects, and cross-functional stakeholders to support, evolve, and deliver solution architecture for cloud-based SaaS features and capabilities, including proof-of-concept initiatives to explore new enhancements.
- Collaborate with Engineering teams to design pragmatic solutions that balance functional requirements with performance, security, scalability, and maintainability throughout the development lifecycle, including technical problem solving and refactoring efforts.
- Participate in reviewing engineering designs and implementations to validate alignment with approved solution architecture, standards, and compliance expectations.
Architecture Communication & Enablement:
- Contribute to the creation and maintenance of clear, accurate architecture artifacts and decision records, ensuring solutions are well understood and traceable across stakeholders.
- Communicate architectural concepts and changes effectively, supporting engineers through design reviews, working sessions, and knowledge sharing alongside more senior architects.
Architecture Governance:
- Participate in architecture governance activities, contributing to the application and adoption of standards, principles, policies, and best practices for the platform.
- Help ensure architectural recommendations are well reasoned, consistent, and aligned with platform strategy, compliance requirements, and long-term sustainability.
Research & Continuous Improvement:
- Stay informed on industry trends, technologies, and architectural practices, actively learning and evaluating how solution patterns, blueprints, and delivery approaches can evolve.
- Leverage modern tooling, including AI-assisted research and analysis, to support architectural exploration, informed recommendations, and continuous improvement.
- Contribute to a culture of innovation by helping teams experiment responsibly, maintaining architectural quality, platform integrity, and customer trust.

We'd Love to See

1–3 years of experience contributing to solution architecture, technical design, or complex system design within a software or SaaS environment.
4+ years in software development or related technical roles, including hands‑on work with at least one modern programming language (e.g., Java, C#, JavaScript, or equivalent).
Practical experience with front‑end and back‑end technologies (React, Node.js, Spring, or similar) and distributed systems concepts such as microservices and APIs (REST and GraphQL).
Solid understanding of algorithms, data structures, computational complexity, and the ability to weigh and communicate design trade‑offs.
Exposure to data‑driven systems, with knowledge of data modelling, data management, OLTP, and cloud‑based SaaS application design, including scalability and multi‑tenancy.
Hands‑on experience implementing within Microsoft Azure and AWS cloud platforms using cloud-native patterns with a SaaS application.
Experience using AI‑enabled development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Claude, SpecKit, or similar) for coding, design, analysis, or documentation.
Strong collaboration and communication skills with engineers, product managers, and technical stakeholders.
Self‑motivated, growth‑oriented mindset with a curiosity for learning and problem‑solving, and empathy for customer outcomes.
Interest in AI and openness to exploring AI‑driven solutions for performance enhancement and efficiency.

The base salary range for this role is 127,500 - 172,500 CAD.
*Our salaries are tailored to roles, levels and locations. Your individual pay within this range is influenced by factors like work location, skills, experience and education.
