CGI is seeking an experienced Senior Architect to join our growing Architecture & Solutions consulting practice within the Emerging Technologies team.

As a full-time member of CGI, you will become part of a collaborative team of architects, engineers, and consultants delivering enterprise technology solutions for some of Canada's leading public and private sector organizations. While you may be assigned to lead one or more client engagements, you will remain a permanent member of CGI's Architecture practice, collaborating with peers, contributing to reusable reference architectures, and continuously developing your technical and consulting expertise.

In this role, you will help clients translate complex business objectives into scalable, secure, and financially optimized technology strategies. You will design enterprise-grade systems, guide engineering teams through implementation, and ensure that technical solutions align with the client's long-term vision, operational capabilities, and budget.

Success in this role requires a strategic mindset, exceptional communication skills, a deep understanding of enterprise systems, and a strong grasp of cloud economics. You will leverage broad architectural principles and FinOps practices to deliver innovative, pragmatic, and highly cost-efficient solutions across cloud native apps, data platforms, and enterprise infrastructure.
