Software Solution Architect

Work Location:
Richmond Hill, ON (Hybrid)

At Embross, we build technology that quietly powers millions of travel experiences every day. From check‑in to boarding, there’s a strong chance that our hardware or software played a role in getting passengers where they need to go.

We partner with some of the world’s leading airlines and airports to deliver passenger automation and self‑service solutions that make travel faster, simpler, and less stressful. For our partners, that means more efficient operations and better passenger experiences. For us, it means solving complex, real‑world challenges at global scale.

What makes Embross unique is the breadth of what we do. We work across a diverse stack that blends hardware, software, and real‑time systems in some of the busiest and most demanding environments in the world. It’s a space where creativity, engineering, and operational thinking come together.

If you’re motivated by meaningful problems, tangible impact, and the opportunity to shape how people move through the world, we should talk.

We’re entering an exciting phase of growth and transformation as we evolve our platform, expand our product capabilities, and embrace increasingly data‑driven environments.

As a Solution Architect
, you will play a critical role in shaping the future of our technology stack and solutions. This is more than a technical role, it is an opportunity to influence product direction, drive architectural excellence, and contribute to solutions used globally.

You’ll collaborate closely with Solution Architects, Software Managers, Product Owners, and Business Analysts to design scalable, resilient, and forward‑looking systems. You’ll help define clear technical roadmaps, guide implementation, and ultimately take ownership of key components of our Common‑Use Self‑Service (CUSS) platform.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys balancing big‑picture thinking with hands‑on technical depth, someone who is equally comfortable whiteboarding architecture as they are diving into technical details when needed.

• Design and architect scalable, high‑performance solutions across a modern and evolving technology stack
• Contribute to the evolution and ownership of Embross’ CUSS platform
• Partner cross‑functionally to translate business needs into robust technical solutions
• Drive best practices in software design, architecture, and development standards
• Support and mentor teams, fostering a culture of continuous improvement and technical excellence
• Contribute to innovation efforts as we explore new products and capabilities in the airport technology space

You’re a technically strong and curious problem‑solver who thrives in collaborative environments. You enjoy mentoring others, sharing knowledge, and building solutions that have real‑world impact.

You bring both structure and creativity, able to design scalable systems while adapting to evolving requirements in a fast‑moving environment.
