Ingeno-

English description below

À propos d'Ingeno

Ingeno est une firme de services professionnels basée au Québec, spécialisée dans le développement de solutions logicielles sur mesure et de solutions en intelligence artificielle, avec un focus sur les secteurs manufacturier et de la défense. Nous accompagnons nos clients dans la conception, la construction et la mise à l'échelle de systèmes critiques, en combinant une expertise technique pointue à une approche pragmatique axée sur la livraison et la valeur ajoutée.

Aperçu du poste

L'architecte principal(e) partage son temps entre le leadership technique sur les mandats clients les plus complexes et la standardisation des pratiques, des processus et de l'orientation technique à l'échelle de l'entreprise. À ce titre, ce rôle exerce une influence directe sur les décisions technologiques et l'orientation technique d'Ingeno.

Responsabilités

L'architecte principal(e) combine le leadership technique sur les mandats clients les plus complexes avec la responsabilité de standardiser les pratiques, les processus et l'orientation technique à l'échelle de l'entreprise, couvrant les domaines suivants :

1. Livraison client

  • Agir à titre d'architecte principal(e) sur les mandats clients les plus complexes et à plus haut risque d'Ingeno
  • Servir de point d'escalade technique pour les équipes de livraison confrontées à des enjeux d'architecture
  • Diriger l'architecture de solution durant les phases de découverte stratégique et de conception de solution pour les comptes stratégiques
  • Effectuer la révision des risques techniques et l'approbation des énoncés de travail (SOW) dépassant un seuil de complexité défini

2. Cycle de développement logiciel

  • Détenir et faire évoluer en continu le cadre de développement en cinq phases d'Ingeno (découverte stratégique, conception de solution, planification de livraison, développement itératif, déploiement et transition)
  • Diriger la révision d'architecture pour les projets dépassant un seuil de taille ou de complexité défini
  • Détenir le cadre de mesure de performance et d'indicateurs par phase; s'assurer que les leçons tirées des rétrospectives et post-mortems se traduisent en améliorations concrètes des processus

3. Estimation

  • Standardiser la méthodologie d'estimation à travers les équipes de livraison
  • Réviser et approuver les estimations dépassant un seuil défini avant leur communication aux clients

4. Utilisation de l'IA

  • Définir les stratégies d'utilisation de l'IA à l'interne et pour les projets clients
  • Optimiser les processus de développement produit et logiciel en faisant levier sur l’IA
  • Définir les garde-fous et les bonnes pratiques pour une utilisation sécuritaire et responsable de l'IA, incluant la gestion des données client sensibles
  • Établir les standards d'intégration et d'interopérabilité pour les composants d'IA (LLM, RAG, bases de données vectorielles, modèles de ML), tant à l'interne que dans les solutions clients
  • Superviser les décisions de type « bâtir ou acheter » pour les outils et l'infrastructure d'IA
  • Maintenir des standards d'utilisation de l'IA cohérents à travers l'organisation

5. Stratégie technologique

  • Établir, en collaboration avec la haute direction, les stratégies technologiques de l'entreprise et participer à leur implantation

6. Développement des compétences

  • Contribuer à l'évolution de l'échelle de compétences techniques (la propriété demeure celle des chefs d'équipe et de la direction)

7. Soutien aux ventes

  • Fournir, au besoin, un appui à la solution technique et à la révision des risques des SOW pour les opportunités complexes

Qualifications requises

  • Baccalauréat ou maîtrise en informatique, en génie logiciel ou dans un domaine connexe, ou expérience équivalente
  • 12 années ou plus d'expérience en génie logiciel, incluant une portion significative en architecture
  • Feuille de route éprouvée dans la conception de systèmes complexes de niveau production, en contexte de services-conseils
  • Expérience concrète d'intégration de composants d'IA/ML (LLM, RAG, bases de données vectorielles) dans des systèmes en production
  • Expérience de standardisation des pratiques de génie logiciel à travers plusieurs équipes (cycle de développement, estimation, qualité du code)
  • Bilinguisme (français/anglais), à l'oral et à l'écrit — Ingeno opère dans les deux langues
  • Expérience dans des secteurs réglementés ou à haute conformité (p. ex. défense, santé) constitue un atout
  • Excellentes habiletés de communication, à l'aise autant avec les équipes de livraison qu'avec la haute direction

Attributs clés

  • Pragmatique — sait équilibrer la rigueur de standardisation avec l'autonomie et la rapidité des équipes de livraison
  • Leader technique crédible qui demeure impliqué sur le terrain, au-delà d'un rôle purement stratégique
  • À l'aise de porter un double mandat et de protéger le temps alloué à chacune des deux facettes du rôle
  • Bon instinct de gestion du changement pour favoriser l'adoption de nouveaux standards sans lourdeur excessive

Travailler chez Ingeno, c’est aussi...

========================================================================

About Ingeno

Ingeno is a Québec-based professional services firm delivering custom software and AI solutions, with a focus on the manufacturing and defence sectors. We partner with our clients to design, build, and scale mission-critical systems, combining deep technical expertise with a pragmatic approach focused on delivery and added value.

Position Overview

The Principal Architect splits their time between hands-on technical leadership on Ingeno's most complex client engagements and standardizing practices, processes, and technical direction across the firm. In this capacity, the role has a direct impact on Ingeno's technological decisions and direction.

Responsibilities

The Principal Architect combines hands-on technical leadership on Ingeno's most complex client engagements with responsibility for standardizing practices, processes, and technical direction across the firm, covering the following areas:

1. Client Delivery

  • Serve as principal/lead architect on Ingeno's most complex and highest-risk client engagements
  • Act as the technical escalation point for delivery teams facing architecture-level challenges
  • Lead solution architecture during the Strategic Discovery and Solution Design phases on flagship accounts
  • Provide technical risk review and sign-off on statements of work (SOWs) above a defined complexity threshold

2. Software Development Lifecycle

  • Own and continuously evolve Ingeno's five-phase Development Process Framework (Strategic Discovery, Solution Design, Delivery Planning, Iterative Development, Deployment & Transition)
  • Run architecture review for projects above a defined size/complexity threshold
  • Own the phase-level KPI and performance measurement framework; ensure lessons from project retrospectives and post-mortems translate into concrete process improvements

3. Estimation

  • Standardize estimation methodology across delivery teams
  • Review and approve estimates above a defined threshold before they are communicated to clients

4. AI Usage

  • Define AI usage strategies for internal operations and client projects
    • Define guardrails and best practices for safe, responsible AI use, including handling of sensitive client data
    • Establish integration and interoperability standards for AI components (LLMs, RAG, vector databases, ML models), across both internal and client-facing solutions
    • Oversee build-vs-buy decisions for AI tooling and infrastructure
    • Maintain consistent AI usage standards across the organization

5. Technology Strategy

  • Establish the company's technology strategies in collaboration with senior leadership and participate in their implementation

6. Competency Development

  • Contribute to the evolution of the technical competency ladder (ownership remains with team leads and leadership)

7. Sales Support

  • Provide technical solutioning and SOW risk review for complex opportunities, as required

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience
  • 12+ years of software engineering experience, including significant time in architecture roles
  • Proven track record architecting complex, production-grade systems in a client services / consulting environment
  • Direct experience integrating AI/ML components (LLMs, RAG, vector databases) into production systems
  • Experience standardizing engineering practices across multiple teams (SDLC, estimation, code quality)
  • Bilingual (French/English), spoken and written — Ingeno operates in both languages
  • Experience in regulated or high-compliance sectors (e.g., defence, healthcare) is an asset
  • Strong communication skills, comfortable working with both hands-on delivery teams and executive leadership

Key Attributes

  • Pragmatic — balances standardization rigor with delivery-team autonomy and speed
  • Credible technical leader who remains hands-on, not purely strategic
  • Comfortable holding a dual mandate and protecting time for both sides of the role
  • Strong change-management instincts to drive adoption of new standards without heavy-handedness

Working at Ingeno also means...

  • A 100% remote work policy, with the option to work from our Québec City office;
  • Flexible hours so you can go skiing, walk your dog, or visit your grandmother. You decide;
  • 26 vacation days and two sick days starting on your first day;
  • Group insurance benefits;
  • A Claude Max 5x license to boost your productivity;
  • A budget toward setting up your workspace;
  • An annual budget for social and sports activities;
  • Access to a gym at the Québec City office, telemedicine, an Employee Assistance Program (EAP), and a health and wellness policy;
  • The option to request study time to complete an AWS certification;
  • Incredibly talented colleagues to share your passion and grow with;
  • And much more!
