Full Job Description
En tant qu'Architecte de Solutions Senior, vous serez le conseiller technique de confiance pour nos clients stratégiques du secteur public au Québec. Vous serez responsable des engagements techniques de bout en bout, en approfondissant les défis des clients et en expérimentant la technologie de manière pratique. Qu'un client cherche à migrer ses environnements vers l'infonuagique, à moderniser ses applications, à exploiter l'IA générative pour transformer les services aux citoyens, à bâtir des plateformes de données et d'analytique modernes, ou à concevoir des applications infonuagiques résilientes et sécurisées conformes aux exigences québécoises et canadiennes, vous les guiderez de la conception à la mise en production.

Vous vous engagerez à tous les niveaux d'une organisation : des cadres dirigeants qui façonnent la stratégie de transformation numérique, aux équipes d'ingénierie qui bâtissent la prochaine génération de plateformes gouvernementales et de services aux citoyens. L'Architecte de Solutions combine une expertise technique approfondie avec un sens des affaires : vous êtes aussi à l'aise à présenter des architectures infonuagiques complexes à des ingénieurs qu'à expliquer la valeur commerciale de ces solutions à des exécutifs non techniques. Vous serez auteur d'architectures de référence et de livres blancs qui inspireront la communauté des Architectes de Solutions, nos partenaires et nos clients. Vous présenterez des webinaires techniques, prendrez la parole lors d'événements publics, contribuerez à des projets à code source ouvert, et pourrez déposer des brevets qui pourraient façonner les futurs produits et fonctionnalités d'AWS.

Les Architectes de Solutions de notre équipe ont une expérience de travail dans le secteur public et créent des solutions sécurisées et conformes. Ils possèdent des compétences en communication exceptionnelles et la profondeur technique nécessaire pour être crédibles auprès de tout auditoire, des exécutifs aux développeurs. Les Architectes de Solutions du secteur public doivent démontrer un leadership éclairé sur les tendances émergentes, notamment l'IA/ML, l'IA générative et la modernisation axée sur les données. Ils possèdent un bagage de développeur ou un intérêt marqué à bâtir des solutions avec les outils et services d'IA d'AWS, et à expérimenter de manière pratique avec les dernières technologies. Par nature, l'Architecte de Solutions est un bâtisseur et un leader avec qui les clients sont impatients de s'engager.

Si vous êtes passionné(e) par l'intersection de la technologie infonuagique, de l'intelligence artificielle et de l'innovation, et que vous vous épanouissez dans un environnement dynamique où aucune journée ne se ressemble, nous serions ravis de vous rencontrer.

DESCRIPTION IN ENGLISH:

Are you passionate about helping Quebec public sector organizations harness the power of cloud and AI to better serve citizens? Would you like to be part of a team that redefines how governments approach technology by delivering innovative, data-driven, and AI-powered solutions? Amazon Web Services (AWS) is leading a generational technology shift, and you could be at the centre of that excitement: building mind-share, establishing customer trust, and accelerating AWS adoption across Quebec's public sector ecosystem.

Our team is dedicated to supporting new members. We have a broad mix of experience levels and tenures, and we're building an environment that celebrates knowledge sharing and mentorship.

As a Senior Solutions Architect, you will be the trusted technical advisor for our most strategic Quebec public sector customers. You will own end-to-end technical engagements, diving deep into customer challenges and getting hands-on with technology. Whether a customer is looking to migrate their environments to the cloud, modernize their applications, leverage Generative AI to transform citizen services, build modern data and analytics platforms, or architect resilient and secure cloud-native applications that meet Quebec and Canadian compliance requirements, you will guide them from whiteboard to production.

You will engage across every level of an organization: from executive leadership shaping digital transformation strategy, to engineering teams building the next generation of government platforms and citizen services. The SA combines deep technical expertise with business acumen: you are equally comfortable presenting complex cloud architectures to a room of engineers and articulating the business value of those solutions to non-technical executives. You will author whitepapers and reference architectures that capture the imagination of the broader SA community, our partners, and our customers. You will deliver technical webinars, speak at public events, contribute to open-source projects, and potentially file patents that could shape future AWS products and features.

SAs within our team have experience working in the public sector space, building secure and compliant solutions. They possess exceptional communication skills and the technical depth to earn credibility with any audience, from executives to developers. Public-sector SAs are expected to provide thought-leadership on emerging trends, including AI/ML, Generative AI, and data-driven modernization. They have a developer background or a strong interest in building solutions with AWS AI tools and services, and in experimenting hands-on with the latest technologies. By nature, the SA is a builder and a leader: someone with whom customers are eager to engage.

If you are excited about the intersection of cloud technology, artificial intelligence, and innovation, and you thrive in a fast-paced environment where no two days look the same, we would love to hear from you.
