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.
If you’re motivated by meaningful problems, tangible impact, and the opportunity to shape how people move through the world, we should talk.
What You’ll Do
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.
You will:
-
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
Who You Are
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.
Core Qualifications:
-
Typically 7+ years of experience in software development, with demonstrated experience in solution architecture or technical leadership roles
-
Experience working with modern application stacks (e.g., MERN) and Java development (Spring MVC)
-
Familiarity with state machine, driven design in JavaScript (e.g., XState) for managing complex UI and application workflows.
-
Deep expertise in designing kiosk, POS, or high-availability systems, including solutions that integrate closely with hardware environments
-
Experience designing microservices and distributed system architectures
-
Proficiency with SQL and document databases such as MongoDB
-
Solid understanding of networking concepts and scalable system design
-
Experience defining and managing APIs (SOAP, REST, OpenAPI/Swagger)
-
Ability to produce clear technical documentation and architecture specifications
-
Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively across technical and non-technical teams
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.
