Role and Responsibilities
As a senior Solution Architect within the Financial Services vertical, you are the technical leader behind complex digital transformation initiatives. Partnering closely with the Client Engagement Partner - Financial Services, you shape solution strategy, define architecture standards, and ensure delivery teams build secure, resilient, and compliant systems.
You engage directly with CIOs, CTOs, risk officers, and business leaders to assess legacy environments and design modern architectures that support regulatory requirements, operational efficiency, and superior customer experiences.
You will:
- Lead end-to-end solution architecture across cloud transformation, core system modernization, digital banking platforms, workflow automation, AI, and data initiatives.
- Design secure architectures aligned with Canadian regulatory frameworks (OSFI guidelines, PIPEDA, FINTRAC, PCI-DSS) and demonstrate familiarity with U.S. standards such as SOX, GLBA, and FFIEC where applicable.
- Define integration strategies across core banking systems, policy administration platforms, payment systems, CRM platforms, and third-party fintech solutions.
- Guide engineering teams on architecture decisions, secure coding practices, DevSecOps implementation, and cloud-native patterns.
- Contribute to RFP responses, architecture diagrams, and executive-level presentations that translate technical solutions into measurable business outcomes.
Your impact is reflected in secure deployments, regulatory-aligned systems, reusable architecture frameworks, and the technical credibility of AOT’s Financial Services practice.

- Strong understanding of Canadian regulatory and risk frameworks (OSFI, PIPEDA, FINTRAC, PCI-DSS) and familiarity with U.S. regulatory environments (SOX, GLBA, FFIEC) as an asset.
- Experience architecting cloud-based and hybrid solutions using AWS, Azure, or GCP, including microservices, APIs, containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), and CI/CD pipelines.
- Proven expertise in secure architecture patterns, identity and access management, encryption strategies, and data governance in regulated environments.
- Strong facilitation and communication skills, with experience leading architecture workshops and engaging executive stakeholders.
Experience with core banking platforms, insurance policy systems, payments infrastructure, workflow automation, or AI-driven risk and analytics solutions is highly valued.
