Job Description:

GTT's client, a leading Canadian fintech company, is seeking a Cloud Solutions Architect to join their Launch Pad Team—an agile, fast-paced group supporting the development and deployment of internal product lines.

The team comprises 45 members across four squads, each led by Product Management, Technical Engineering Leads, and Cloud Architecture leadership, and includes multiple DevSecOps and Cloud Engineers. This team delivers seven fully automated environments—Sandbox, Development, Integration, UAT, Performance, Beta, and Production—that enable rapid and secure product launches.

The organization fosters a flat, iterative culture focused on innovation and speed, with plans to grow from 800 to over 1,100 employees in the next two years. This role plays a key part in a strategic initiative to implement the ISO 20022 messaging standard, enhancing payment data quality and centralizing fraud mitigation capabilities.

The position offers a competitive salary, top-tier bonus structure, and comprehensive benefits, and requires onsite presence three days a week in downtown Toronto. It's a unique opportunity to drive meaningful impact in a high-growth, forward-thinking environment.

As a Cloud Solutions Architect, you will be part of the DevSecOps & Cloud Engineering group. Working closely with the other members of a leadership triad, the Product Manager and Tech Lead, you will share in the accountability for leading a team of platform engineers building the next generation of platforms. The vision for the platform is to provide "zero touch”, at will deployment for our software development community.

This team is assembling the platform from cloud-native infrastructure, networking, and services, as well as cloud-based IaC and DevSecOps tooling, treating the software developers in the product lines. The ideal candidate is someone who started out in software development and later moved into a platform automation role. You will be able to connect well with and understand the pain of the software development community, through a bond of shared experience. On the other hand, you bring with you a deep understanding of current cloud automation tooling that you acquired through hands-on delivery of cloud and/or DevSecOps platform solutions.

Duties:

• Leading a team in a shared responsibility model with a Product Manager and Tech Lead, together accountable for the value and usability of what the team delivers
• Understanding developer pain points and addressing them effectively
• Establishing and maintaining ongoing relationships with the development community
• Creating and managing a constant feedback loop with software developers to understand the usability, viability, and value of what is being built for them by the platform team
• Designing reusable components for platforms using DevSecOps and cloud components
• Hands-on contribution to automation of the platform (~20% of your time coding)

Required Skills:

• Recent AWS Cloud Engineering Experience
• DevSecOps experience
• Application Engineering and/or Cloud Architecture Experience
• Aptitude for facilitation, requirements gathering, and client engagement
• Aptitude for Cloud Design Experience (not CX folks)
• Experience in application or platform architecture or design, where a team of technical people looked to you for leadership and guidance on solutions and decision-making

Must Have Skills:

• Recent AWS Cloud Engineering Experience
• DevSecOps experience
