Anywhere in Canada works for the day-to-day. Quebec is preferred for the simpler tax and contracting setup, and because most of our enterprise clients are Quebec-based. Outside Canada we can't currently structure a permanent contract, but contractors with their own corporation are open to discuss.
No. We expect production delivery experience on at least two of our partner platforms, plus the architectural maturity to evaluate the others responsibly. The goal isn't to be a Sitecore expert AND an Optimizely expert AND a Contentful expert — it's to know how to read each platform's tradeoffs honestly when a client asks.
Yes — significant. As a Solution Architect you're expected to lead RFP responses, run discovery calls, present architecture to executive stakeholders, and defend technical choices in front of clients. If you prefer pure heads-down architecture with no exposure, this isn't the right fit. If you like the technical authority side of the role, you'll thrive here.
Roughly 40% deep architecture work, 30% pre-sales / discovery / client validation, 15% audits and methodology work, and 15% mentoring and architecture review. Mix shifts week to week depending on what's in flight. No mandatory standups, no theater meetings.
Solution Architects own engagements end to end — from discovery through architecture handoff to delivery teams. We avoid stacking too many parallel engagements; the typical load is 2–3 active clients at once, with rotating depth as projects move through phases. We protect your focus, not just your calendar.
Yes — we're flexible. Some architects start as contractors for a 3 to 6 month engagement and convert to permanent once we're both confident it's a fit. Others come in directly as permanent. Tell us what you'd prefer; we'll structure around it.
