The Role: Solutions Architect (Cloud, API, Enterprise Systems)

We’re looking for a player-coach, someone who can think big, build fast, and lead with empathy. As a Solutions Architect at Tactable, you’ll sit at the intersection of product, engineering, and client success. You’ll design scalable, secure, and high-performance architectures that bridge business needs with technical execution, driving real-world impact across industries like finance, SaaS, and emerging tech. This is a high-trust, high-impact role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, values cross-functional collaboration, and wants to shape both strategy and systems. You’ll be hands-on with technical design while mentoring teams and engaging clients directly, from pre-sales through delivery. If you enjoy crafting elegant solutions to messy problems, and leading others to do the same, we want to hear from you.

What You’ll Do:

• Translate customer and product requirements into scalable, end-to-end technical architectures
• Design systems across cloud, on-prem, and hybrid environments using modern tools and frameworks
• Build proofs of concept (POCs), architecture diagrams, documentation, and technical proposals
• Ensure architectures align with industry best practices for security, scalability, and performance

Cross-Functional Leadership:

• Collaborate closely with sales, product, and engineering teams to shape solution strategy
• Lead discovery sessions and technical deep dives with internal teams and client stakeholders
• Communicate architectural decisions to both technical and non-technical audiences
• Support smooth handoff to delivery teams and stay involved in critical delivery phases
• Stay current with emerging technologies and evaluate opportunities to incorporate them into our stack
• Contribute to internal knowledge-sharing, design standards, and architecture best practices
• Play an active role in mentoring engineers and elevating technical thinking across the team

What You Bring:

• Must-Have Experience:
• 8+ years of experience in solution architecture, software engineering, or technical consulting
• Proven success designing and deploying complex, scalable systems at the enterprise level
• Deep understanding of cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP), APIs, microservices, and integration patterns
• Familiarity with enterprise IT systems, infrastructure, security best practices, and compliance standards
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, you can simplify complexity for any audience
• Experience working in agile, cross-functional teams in a fast-moving environment

• Nice-to-Haves:
• Experience in startup or high‑growth environments
• Exposure to fintech, healthcare, or SaaS industries
• Certifications such as AWS Certified Solutions Architect, TOGAF, or similar
• Experience leading architecture in client‑facing or consulting roles

Why You’ll Love This Role:

• Growth-First Culture - From custom career paths to project rotation, we design roles around your goals, not just business needs.
• Full Ownership & Impact - You’ll own critical parts of delivery, architecture, and technical decision-making. No red tape, no silos.
• Tight-Knit Team - We’ve built a culture of trust, collaboration, and curiosity. Whether it’s team lunches, hack days, or a new internal tool, we move as one unit.
• Real Work, Real Users - We’re not building MVPs that sit on a shelf. You’ll work on systems that millions rely on, every day.
• Flexibility with Structure - We’re a hybrid-first team with a strong appreciation for in-office collaboration, especially at our downtown Toronto HQ. We encourage in‑person presence to foster mentorship, connection, and collaboration.

Why This Might Not Be a Fit:

• If you’re looking for narrow responsibilities or prefer to stay in one tech domain long-term
• If you want to work in a rigid hierarchy with formal titles and clear ladders
• If you prefer a vendor-style relationship with clients rather than deep, embedded partnerships
