Software Architect, Systems Engineer, Cloud Computing

Description

As a Software Architect, you will set technical direction for the next phase of OASES. That means owning architecture decisions, integration strategy, and modernisation patterns across a system with real customers and aviation-grade reliability expectations. You'll work directly with Engineering, Product, Customer Operations, and leadership.

OASES is an aviation maintenance and engineering platform used globally by airlines, MROs, CAMOs, and aviation operators. We're evolving it into a modern real-time operations platform — incrementally, via API-first architecture, event-driven workflows, telemetry, and platform standardisation.

Established in Canada in 2015, Valsoft has grown to a global portfolio of 120+ companies, acquiring and developing vertical market software companies, enabling each business to deliver the best mission-critical solutions for customers in their respective industries. A key tenet of Valsoft’s philosophy is to invest in well-established businesses and foster an entrepreneurial environment that moulds companies into leaders in their respective industries.

Valsoft looks to buy, hold, and create value through long-term partnerships with existing management.
