Work Location: Richmond Hill, ON (Hybrid)

What You'll Do

We're entering an exciting phase of growth and transformation as we evolve our platform, expand our product capabilities, and embrace increasingly data-driven environments.

As a Solution Architect, you will play a critical role in shaping the future of our technology stack and solutions. This is more than a technical role, it is an opportunity to influence product direction, drive architectural excellence, and contribute to solutions used globally.

You'll collaborate closely with Solution Architects, Software Managers, Product Owners, and Business Analysts to design scalable, resilient, and forward-looking systems. You'll help define clear technical roadmaps, guide implementation, and ultimately take ownership of key components of our Common-Use Self-Service (CUSS) platform.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys balancing big-picture thinking with hands-on technical depth, someone who is equally comfortable whiteboarding architecture as they are diving into technical details when needed.

You will:

• Design and architect scalable, high-performance solutions across a modern and evolving technology stack
• Contribute to the evolution and ownership of Embross' CUSS platform
• Partner cross-functionally to translate business needs into robust technical solutions
• Drive best practices in software design, architecture, and development standards
• Support and mentor teams, fostering a culture of continuous improvement and technical excellence
• Contribute to innovation efforts as we explore new products and capabilities in the airport technology space

Who You Are

You're a technically strong and curious problem-solver who thrives in collaborative environments. You enjoy mentoring others, sharing knowledge, and building solutions that have real-world impact.

You bring both structure and creativity, able to design scalable systems while adapting to evolving requirements in a fast-moving environment.

Core Qualifications:

• Strong experience designing modern web application architectures using JavaScript/TypeScript-based technology stacks
• Experience architecting interactive web applications, including frontend frameworks, application workflows, and state-driven designs (for example XState or similar approaches)
• Deep expertise designing kiosk, POS, self-service, or high-availability systems, including solutions that integrate with hardware, peripherals, and edge environments
• Experience designing scalable application architectures including microservices, distributed systems, and event-driven solutions
• Strong understanding of backend service design, API architecture, and integration patterns
• Experience designing and managing APIs including REST, OpenAPI/Swagger, and enterprise integration approaches
• Proficiency with SQL and document databases such as MongoDB, including data modeling and scalability considerations
• Strong understanding of networking concepts, system communication patterns, security considerations, and scalable infrastructure design
• Ability to define technical architecture, create solution designs, and produce clear technical documentation and specifications
• Experience collaborating with development teams, product owners, customers, and stakeholders to translate business requirements into technical solutions
• Strong communication skills with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences
• Typically 5+ years of experience in software development, with demonstrated experience in solution architecture, technical leadership, or designing complex software systems

You'll stand out if you also have:

• Familiarity with IATA standards (CUSS, CUPPS, CUTE, etc.)
• Experience in the travel and transportation domain (airlines, airports, DCS, reservation systems)

Most importantly, you're someone who is energized by growth, both your own and the company's, and excited to contribute to something meaningful.
