[Hiring] Solutions Architect, R&D & Innovation @Sherweb

3d ago - Sherweb is hiring a remote Solutions Architect, R&D & Innovation. 💸 Salary: cad 101,990 - 145,700 per year 📍Location: Northern America

Role Description

Sherweb is creating a dedicated architecture role focused full-time on technological exploration, experimentation, and forward-looking innovation.

This role is not about delivering production systems or supporting day-to-day product teams. Instead, it exists to explore what’s next:

  • Emerging architectures
  • Novel platforms
  • Modern AI agents
  • New programming paradigms

You will operate with significant autonomy, curiosity, and ownership. Your success will be measured by how effectively you identify high-potential technologies, deeply internalize them through hands-on experimentation, and help Sherweb make informed decisions about future directions.

Here's what your day-to-day will look like in this role:

  • Act as Sherweb’s dedicated technological scout, continuously evaluating emerging software technologies, platforms, and architectural patterns.
  • Build proofs of concept (PoCs) and experimental prototypes to validate ideas, de-risk new approaches, and explore innovative concepts without immediate production constraints.
  • Explore new domains even when there is no immediate product plan.
  • Serve as a bridge between exploration and execution.
  • Perform continuous technological watch on modern software architecture, cloud platforms, AI agents, orchestration systems, MCP servers, developer tooling, and emerging programming models.
  • Experiment hands-on with new technologies by:
    • Writing exploratory code
    • Building isolated prototypes
    • Creating proof-of-concept architectures
  • Design and document experimental solution architectures to clearly explain:
    • What problem the technology solves
    • How it works
    • Where it could (or could not) fit within Sherweb’s ecosystem
  • Perform early feasibility studies, favoring fast iteration, rapid learning, and “fail fast” approaches when appropriate.
  • Prepare lightweight technical briefings and architecture notes to share findings with Sherweb architects and leadership.
  • Work largely independently while maintaining strong alignment with the VP, Platform & Engineering.
  • When appropriate, collaborate with other architects to transition validated ideas toward broader adoption or productization.

Qualifications

  • University degree in Computer Science (or equivalent experience)
  • 10+ years of hands-on technical experience in software development and/or solution architecture
  • Strong experience designing and experimenting with modern software architectures, including cloud-native and distributed systems
  • Demonstrated experience evaluating, testing, and experimenting with emerging technologies
  • Excellent coding ability and comfort building prototypes alone from scratch
  • Proficiency in both spoken and written English; French proficiency is considered an asset

Requirements

  • Self-starter mentality: you naturally explore new technologies on your own time, without needing direction
  • You already experiment at home with new tools, platforms, or architectures
  • You likely have personal “pet projects”
  • A home lab or experimental environment
  • Hands-on experience with cutting-edge tools (AI agents, orchestration frameworks, new developer platforms)
  • Strong intellectual curiosity and the discipline to go deep; not just surface-level exploration
  • Comfort working mostly alone, with occasional collaboration at key inflection points
  • Ability to clearly explain complex concepts and experimental findings to other architects and technical leaders

Benefits

  • A fast-paced work environment that adapts to you
  • A friendly and diverse work culture with inclusion and equality at the heart of our actions
  • State-of-the-art technology and tools
  • A results-oriented culture where talent, action, and thinking outside the box are given due recognition
  • Annual salary review based on performance
  • Generous and caring colleagues of various professional and cultural backgrounds
  • A flexible total compensation offer
  • A base salary ranging between $101,990 and $145,700 annually
  • Vacation time that considers your previous experience
  • Advanced paid hours to recharge your batteries (holidays and mobile days)
  • Flexible benefits plan that adapts to your needs
  • Flexible savings fund options
  • A monthly home internet allowance
  • Paid training hours
  • Considerable growth opportunities
  • A career path with opportunities to learn and grow
  • Proximity to your direct manager and open, honest communication to support your development
  • Multiple initial and on-the-job training opportunities and tools to track your progress and help you scale up in your career
  • “Sherweblife” - a rich calendar of activities that allow us to gather virtually and face-to-face throughout the year
