Requirements

• 10+ years of software engineering experience, with a significant portion spent in a software architecture or principal engineer role within a SaaS or cloud-native product environment.
• Proven track record of translating complex business requirements into clear, effective software architecture — particularly for multi-tenant SaaS offerings.
• Solid understanding of inter-process communication, microservices design, and distributed infrastructure at scale.
• Extensive experience designing, developing, and deploying secure cloud-native software, including strong familiarity with Infrastructure as Code practices and tools such as Terraform.
• Strong proficiency in database management and optimization, with demonstrated experience leading migrations from legacy systems to modern, cloud-based databases.
• Working knowledge of backend technologies (e.g., .NET) and front-end technologies (e.g., Angular) deep enough to direct, evaluate, and provide meaningful feedback on AI-generated code.
• Proficiency with AI coding assistants and agentic development tools such as Claude Code, with demonstrated ability to guide development from concept through PoC to production.
• Proficiency in both Windows and Linux environments.
• Comprehensive knowledge of cybersecurity principles as applied to cloud-native and distributed systems.
• Strong communication skills, including the ability to explain complex technical concepts clearly to audiences of varying experience levels and to translate architectural decisions into accessible documentation.
• Prior leadership experience that includes team management, code review processes, and technical mentorship of junior and intermediate developers.
• Right to work in Canada and able to work from our Etobicoke, Ontario office.
• Comfortable using AI tools responsibly to support tasks such as research, drafting, and data review
• Able to learn new tools and adapt as technology and workflows evolve.

Nice To Haves

• Experience building or evolving an internal AI/agent platform, including LLM tool-calling, agent orchestration frameworks, and MCP or comparable protocols.
• Experience with identity and access management at a platform level, including OAuth2/OIDC, JWT, and multi-tenant authorization models.
• Hands-on experience with Kubernetes-based deployment models and multi-environment or multi-region orchestration.
• Background in financial software, ERP, or CPM/EPM platforms, with an understanding of the domain complexity these systems carry.

Responsibilities

• Lead the evaluation and selection of technologies, frameworks, and architectural patterns that position Prophix's platform to meet future business and customer needs at scale.
• Shape the evolution of Prophix's cloud-based software platform by designing robust, secure, and scalable solutions — from initial concept and rapid prototyping through to production-ready delivery.
• Partner with business units across the company to provide strategic guidance on technology choices, helping leaders navigate the intersection of technical capability and business value.
• Design and prototype solutions across multiple tech stacks, leveraging AI coding tools such as Claude Code to accelerate development end-to-end and critically evaluate AI-generated output.
• Collaborate closely with other Architects and engineering teams on major architecture initiatives, including the review of functional and technical requirements, design decisions, and implementation standards.
• Contribute to cross-functional agile teams to deliver new applications, features, and enhancements that improve the user experience, applying deep software engineering discipline and industry best practices.
• Mentor engineers across the team — leading by example, conducting code reviews, and building a culture of technical excellence and continuous learning.
• Advise on and participate in technical interviews for senior developer hires, bringing rigorous assessment skills to help Prophix maintain a high hiring bar.
