AI Cloud Architect

Join Us in Building the Future

At Architech, we don’t just ship software. We partner with North America’s leading brands to modernize legacy platforms, embed AI into real operations, and launch digital products that transform business outcomes. Our engineers and designers harness cloud‑native tools, autonomous agents, data‑driven insights, and GenAI to drive measurable impact – replatforming systems in the cloud, optimizing customer journeys, or accelerating AI adoption across the enterprise. You’ll work at the intersection of strategy and execution, solving complex problems alongside smart, curious teammates across Canada and Poland. Backed by 20+ years of experience, a drive for excellence, and a culture rooted in growth and collaboration, this is where you thrive if you’re looking to deliver meaningful, high‑stakes software solutions.

We’re Building a More Inclusive Tech Industry

We believe diversity leads to better outcomes. Nearly half of our team was born outside of Canada, and we speak 19+ languages. We’re 31% women, 57% BIPOC, and 14% LGBTQIA+. We’ve doubled the number of women in tech roles in the past year, and maintain a 0% gender pay gap across our delivery and technology teams. Inclusion here isn’t a buzzword, it’s backed by data, policy, and accountability.

How We Work Together

We’re a close‑knit, collaborative group who care about doing excellent work, and doing it with integrity. Our values shape how we show up every day:

• Think Big – Dream it, plan it, ship it
• Be Open & Collaborate – Diverse minds build better solutions
• Never Fail a Client – Own the outcome
• Grow Our People – Feedback, learning, leadership
• Do the Right Thing – Even when it’s hard
• Embrace Change – Adapt fast, stay curious

Our people say it best: “Employees of different backgrounds interact well within our company” – and 97% agree. Another 96% say “Architech respects individuals and values their differences.” We support continuous growth with learning budgets, internal bootcamps, certification bonuses, summit days, and more. It’s not just work – it’s a place to grow, lead, and build things that matter. And this is just the beginning. Check out all our other great benefits.

Key Responsibilities

• Orchestrate multi‑service AI solutions that combine LLMs, APIs, and cloud services.
• Guide clients and teams through cloud modernization projects, supporting migrations and adoption of cloud‑native practices.
• Understand data security and residency requirements, addressing client concerns around sensitive data in AI‑enabled systems.
• Ensure solutions comply with security and regulatory standards while managing technical risks across architectures.
• Support Services teams during delivery by addressing architectural questions as projects evolve and refining designs when new requirements or complexities emerge.
• Build prototypes and participate in demos with clients to showcase how AI and cloud can add value.
• Create solution diagrams and architectures for client decks to support pre‑sales discussions.
• Partner with clients in pre‑sales support: participate in meetings, capture requirements, and collaborate with the sales lead.
• Communicate architectural decisions clearly to both business and technical audiences.
• Balance functional and non‑functional requirements, ensuring secure, scalable, and maintainable solutions.
