Frontend Architect – AWS & AI Skills, CAD

This is a senior individual contributor + technical leadership role at an AWS Premier Partner, which places it at the intersection of high technical depth and client-facing consulting - a rare and valuable combination for career development.

Compensation context: CAD $152,000-$171,000 (approx. USD $111,000-$125,000) for a Frontend Architect in Canada is competitive but not exceptional for this seniority level in major Canadian markets (Toronto, Vancouver). In smaller cities or for fully remote roles, it sits at or above market. The phantom equity and bonus components add meaningful upside.

• AWS-native frontend architecture (App Sync, Cloud Front, WAF, Lambda@Edge) - a niche still commanding premium rates
• Generative AI integration into frontend products - one of the highest-demand skills in 2025
• Consulting and stakeholder management - transferable to Staff/Principal Engineer or solutions architect paths
• Terraform and IaC for frontend infrastructure - broadens full-stack Dev Ops credibility

Culture signals: Caylent presents as a growth-stage, remote-native consultancy with structured values language ("Lead By Example," "Stay Curious"). The unlimited PTO, L&D stipend, and paid certifications suggest genuine investment in employees. Peer bonus awards and phantom equity hint at a collaborative, performance-aware culture.

Green flags: AWS Premier Partner status, real AI-first focus (Anthropic partnership), and clear mentorship expectations.
Watch for: consulting roles inherently involve context-switching across clients, which can be demanding. Ensure the client engagement pace suits your preferred depth-of-focus style.
