CDW • Toronto, ON

About The Position

This role is designed for senior architects whose primary value lies in architectural judgement, technical depth, and long-term design integrity. As a Senior Field Solution Architect, you act as a lead architect for customer environments, shaping designs that are operationally sound, secure, and aligned to Canadian enterprise realities. You are accountable for architectural decisions, technical quality, and ensuring solutions can be implemented, supported, and evolved over time. You work closely with sales, but your primary focus is architecture—not product pitching. CDW is committed to being an AI-fluent organization. We’re looking for people who bring curiosity, a learner’s mindset, and a willingness to engage with ever-evolving technology and tools. We value adopting AI as a partner, openness to experimentation, and a shared interest in learning together on AI. Our goal is to create a culture where AI enhances—not replaces—human creativity and decision-making. You don’t need to be an expert today; what matters is your readiness to explore, adapt, and grow with us as we integrate AI responsibly and effectively into our work. Additionally, CDW is committed to fostering an equitable, transparent, and respectful hiring process for all applicants. During our application process, our goal is to understand your experience, strengths, skills, and qualifications. As an AI forward company, we see AI not just as a tool, but as a catalyst for new ways of thinking, creating, and communicating. We encourage candidates to embrace an AI mindset, one that’s curious, adaptive, and ready to explore what’s possible. We welcome thoughtful use of AI to expand your perspective and elevate how you share your story, while ensuring your application remains rooted in your own background, judgment, and voice.
