The company’s Firmex VDR service is the world’s most trusted virtual data room, having been used by over 140,000 companies worldwide to share confidential documents for due diligence, litigation and compliance.

This is an excellent opportunity to have a significant say and impact on the future of our products while demonstrating your automation skills, building prototypes, and being curious. We are looing for a Build and Release Architect who wants to join a supportive team of invested mentors, and co-workers from every department, all working towards building their professional growth and the company.

We need someone who can communicate and articulate systemic issues as an automation and tooling representative supporting all the agile teams we have. The Build and Release Architect works with developers and agile teams to define, document and properly communicate the appropriate product architecture to answer Firmex’s business needs. Our Build and Release Engineer team members develop and own the tooling, deployments, environments, and general automation efforts for all team projects.

What you'll do as a Build and Release Architect

    • Provide technical direction for security, performance, scalability and reliability projects, issues or patches. 
    • Plan for new evolutionary technology implementations within the boundaries of Firmex’s product architecture. 
    • Design and rapidly prototype proposed solutions. 
    • Provide accurate high-level estimates for complex projects and strategic technical investments to be pursued by the organization. 
    • Manage risk identification and risk mitigation strategies associated with the architecture and various forms of its implementations. 
    • Give input as needed on issues like tool, framework, and environment selection. 
    • Ensure that all proposed architecture changes are right for all potential stakeholders (Development, Infrastructure, and DevOps).
    • Perform security and code reviews and drive quality through the code review process. 
    • Establish coding and architectural best practices and patterns. 
    • Identify inefficiencies and opportunities for process improvements and provide recommendations. 
    • Work with customers and vendors to propose and document integration projects architecture. 
    • Mentor and coach the development teams towards higher quality code deliverables. 
    • Promote information sharing within the team and with other functional teams.

What you'll need to be successful as a Build and Release Architect

    • 10+ years of experience in the DevOps field, in either AWS, Azure or GCP, preferably in a 24x7 cloud or SaaS operations team.
    • Extensive experience designing and leading the implementation of automation solutions that consider security and operational simplicity.
    • Experience with establishing continuous build processes to optimize software development and delivery.
    • Comprehensive understanding of DevOps best practices and how to stay current with them.
    • Experience with automated provisioning tools like AWS CDK, CloudFormation or Terraform.
    • Scripting experience in both Windows (an asset) and Linux environments with languages like PowerShell, Ruby, batch files, etc.
    • Experience with Continuous Integration tools like Jenkins (an asset), Azure DevOps, or CircleCI.  
    • Strong experience with at least one programming language like C#.
    • Experience managing the deployments of software, with SaaS experience a plus.
    • A curious nature.  You want to solve problems in real time as well as before they happen.
    • Pride. You want to be part of a team dedicated to creating and delivering quality software.
    • Outstanding communication. This is not a heads-down role. You will be working with Agile teams that innovate together, out loud.  You will need to listen, engage, and present to external teams and senior project managers in a confident manner.
*Note: The “Core Duties” is a summary of the duties that are essential to this role and is not an exhaustive list. Firmex reserves the right to add or amend duties as necessary.
