Our Mission at Tactable

What if you could build software that didn’t just scale, but transformed entire organizations?

At Tactable, this is what drives us. We’re building a world-class cloud, data, and API engineering firm with a mission to power the most influential tech of tomorrow, through expert-led delivery, strong partnerships, and a relentless focus on quality.

We don’t just consult. We build.

Founded by engineers who care deeply about people, process, and product, we go beyond just solving problems. We embed with clients, work across full project lifecycles, and operate at the speed of startups while upholding the rigor of enterprise-grade engineering.

From financial institutions to emerging tech ventures, our work is behind some of the most mission-critical systems in production today, and we’re just getting started. With growing demand from top-tier clients and a strong runway for expansion, we’re building a team of curious, ambitious developers who want to build meaningful things with meaningful people.

The Role: Solutions Architect (Cloud, API, AI, Enterprise Systems)

We’re looking for a player-coach, someone who can think big, build fast, and lead with empathy.

As a Solutions Architect at Tactable, you’ll sit at the intersection of product, engineering, AI innovation, and client success. You’ll design scalable, secure, and high-performance architectures that bridge business needs with technical execution, driving real-world impact across industries like finance, SaaS, and emerging tech.

This is a high-trust, high-impact role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, values cross-functional collaboration, and wants to shape both strategy and systems. You’ll be hands-on with technical design while mentoring teams and engaging clients directly, from pre-sales through delivery.

If you enjoy crafting elegant solutions to messy problems, and leading others to do the same, we want to hear from you.

What You’ll Do

Architecture & Solution Design

• Translate customer and product requirements into scalable, end-to-end technical architectures
• Design systems across cloud, on-prem, and hybrid environments using modern tools and frameworks
• Architect solutions that incorporate AI/ML components, LLMs, vector stores, and intelligent automation
• Build proofs of concept (POCs), architecture diagrams, documentation, and technical proposals
• Ensure architectures align with industry best practices for security, scalability, and performance

Cross-Functional Leadership

• Collaborate closely with sales, product, and engineering teams to shape solution strategy
• Lead discovery sessions and technical deep dives with internal teams and client stakeholders
• Communicate architectural decisions to both technical and non-technical audiences
• Support smooth handoff to delivery teams and stay involved in critical delivery phases

Technology Strategy & Innovation

• Stay current with emerging cloud and AI technologies; identify opportunities to integrate them
• Contribute to internal knowledge-sharing, design standards, and architecture best practices
• Play an active role in mentoring engineers and elevating technical thinking across the team

What You Bring

Must-Have Experience

• 8+ years of experience in solution architecture, software engineering, or technical consulting
• Proven success designing and deploying complex, scalable systems at the enterprise level
• Hands-on experience with AI/ML or LLM-powered solutions (e.g., RAG systems, model integration, prompt engineering, observability)
• Deep understanding of cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP), APIs, microservices, and integration patterns
• Familiarity with enterprise IT systems, infrastructure, security best practices, and compliance standards
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, you can simplify complexity for any audience
• Experience working in agile, cross-functional teams in a fast-moving environment

Nice-to-Haves

• Expertise with the Microsoft ecosystem, including Azure services, .NET, C#, and enterprise Microsoft integrations
• Experience designing architectures specifically within Azure AI, Azure ML, or Microsoft Copilot Studio
• Experience in startup or high-growth environments
• Exposure to fintech, healthcare, or SaaS industries
• Certifications such as AWS Certified Solutions Architect, TOGAF, or similar
• Experience leading architecture in client-facing or consulting roles

Why You’ll Love This Role

• Strategic & Hands-On: You’ll set architectural direction while staying close to the code and client needs.
• High Trust, High Autonomy: We trust our architects to lead, make decisions, and deliver real impact, without red tape.
• Dynamic, Supportive Team: Work with engineers and designers who care deeply about quality, collaboration, and each other.
• Hybrid Culture, Toronto Roots: We’re a hybrid-first company with a strong Toronto HQ. In-office time is encouraged but flexible.
• Projects That Matter: You’ll design the infrastructure powering real-time trading systems, financial platforms, and emerging tech products, not prototypes or shelfware.

Why This Might Not Be a Fit

• If you prefer to stay strictly hands-off and focus only on strategy
• If you’re not comfortable navigating client conversations or ambiguity
• If you want rigid roles, static teams, or slow-moving delivery cycles

Compensation, Benefits & Perks

• Salary Range: Competitive and flexible, based on experience and fit for the role.
• Comprehensive health and dental plan
• Generous PTO and holidays
• Laptop & home office equipment provided
• Career coaching and personalized development plans
• Regular social events, team outings, and wellness activities
