Software Solution Architect

Work Location: Richmond Hill, ON (Hybrid) Who We Are 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.

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. Core Qualifications: * Strong experience designing modern web application architectures using JavaScript/TypeScript-based technology stacks * Experience architecting interactive web applications, including frontend frameworks, application workflows, and state-driven designs (for example XState or similar approaches) * Deep expertise designing kiosk, POS, self-service, or high-availability systems, including solutions that integrate with hardware, peripherals, and edge environments * Experience designing scalable application architectures including microservices, distributed systems, and event-driven solutions * Strong understanding of backend service design, API architecture, and integration patterns * Experience designing and managing APIs including REST, OpenAPI/Swagger, and enterprise integration approaches * Proficiency with SQL and document databases such as MongoDB, including data modeling and scalability considerations * Strong understanding of networking concepts, system communication patterns, security considerations, and scalable infrastructure design * Ability to define technical architecture, create solution designs, and produce clear technical documentation and specifications * Experience collaborating with development teams, product owners, customers, and stakeholders to translate business requirements into technical solutions * Strong communication skills with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences * Typically 5+ years of experience in software development, with demonstrated experience in solution architecture, technical leadership, or designing complex software systems You’ll stand out if you also have: * Familiarity with IATA standards (CUSS, CUPPS, CUTE, etc.) * Experience in the travel and transportation domain (airlines, airports, DCS, reservation systems) Most importantly, you’re someone who is energized by growth, both your own and the company’s, and excited to contribute to something meaningful.
