Overview

We help customers turn technology investment into meaningful progress for their businesses and the people they serve. Our culture values curiosity, inclusion, accountability and trusted collaboration. We seek architects who combine sound judgment with hands-on engineering, share what they learn and create an environment where colleagues and customers can challenge ideas openly.

A frontier company is not defined by adopting the newest technology first. It is defined by the judgment to translate emerging capabilities into secure, reliable and measurable outcomes. This means framing ambiguous problems, making explicit tradeoffs among cost, reliability and speed, and deciding responsibly with incomplete information. It also means knowing when not to use AI, controlling scope and establishing what must be true before a solution is ready for release.

ISD’s frontier consulting practice brings industry understanding, solution expertise and engineering discipline together. We use AI to strengthen how we explore, design and deliver, while keeping people accountable for decisions and quality. We build early working artifacts, validate them with customers and learn from delivered work rather than self-assessment. Adoption, change and capability transfer begin at the outset, so progress becomes sustained customer value rather than a successful demonstration alone.

Based in the Greater Toronto Area, the Senior Solution Architect in ISD Canada will lead strategic customer engagements, with a particular focus on financial services. The role requires fluency in customer workflows, data and risk considerations before selecting products or platforms. You will partner with executives and customer engineering teams to establish a credible baseline, define success measures and connect architecture decisions to business priorities across the Toronto and Canadian market.

This is both a strategic and a hands-on architecture role. You will guide multidisciplinary teams, maintain full-stack depth and collaborate with specialists to validate critical design choices in working solutions. A practical AI Usage Plan will help each significant engagement improve delivery with measured benefits, clear accountability and appropriate guardrails. The opportunity is to deliver reviewed, tested and operationally ready solutions, help customers adopt them, and create reusable patterns and capabilities that other teams actually use.

Responsibilities

The Sr. Solution Architect role is organized around five key accountability areas:

• Business Outcome-Led Architecture
• Engage executives to understand business priorities, establish baseline performance and define measurable outcomes and success criteria that guide architecture and investment decisions.
• Translate business requirements into actionable solution architecture, applying financial-services workflow, data and risk fluency to the customer’s operating context before recommending products or platforms.
• Challenge assumptions, frame ambiguous problems and make explicit cost, reliability and speed tradeoffs. Decide with incomplete data, control scope and say no when a proposed approach, including
