At RAVL, we connect strategy with execution, care deeply about the people we work with, and measure success by the lasting impact we leave behind. Our purpose is to build a team that puts real, sustainable business outcomes at the core of everything we do.
 
We’re here to leave our clients better than we found them, and to create a place where our people are proud to Build. Better.
 
As a Principal Technical Advisor / Architect at RAVL, you’ll operate at the intersection of strategy, architecture, and executive trust. You’ll bring deep technical authority and advisory presence — shaping complex solution landscapes while helping clients make confident, informed decisions. This role goes beyond designing systems: you’ll synthesize data, constraints, and business context into clear insights that guide both C-suite direction and hands-on delivery teams.
 
You’ll work closely with executive stakeholders, engineering leaders, and delivery teams to ensure architectures are not only technically sound, but aligned to outcomes, risk posture, and long-term value.
  • Serve as a trusted technical advisor to client executives, providing clear guidance on architecture, trade-offs, and technology strategy

  • Lead architectural decision-making, producing clear recommendations supported by data, experience, and pragmatic reasoning
  • Communicate effectively across audiences — from C-level executives to developers — tailoring depth and language as needed
  • Guide engineering teams on architectural intent, patterns, and constraints while respecting delivery realities
  • Define and evolve architectural standards, reference architectures, and decision records to support consistency and governance
  • Influence outcomes through credibility, clarity of thought, and the ability to simplify complexity
  • At higher impact levels: shape technology direction across multiple engagements, mentor senior architects, and elevate architectural maturity within client organizations
  • Senior-level experience architecting and advising on enterprise-scale or mission-critical systems
  • Sophisticated executive demeanor, comfortable functioning at the highest levels of client organizations
  • Deep expertise in modern architecture patterns, including microservices, event-driven architectures, and domain-oriented design
  • Strong hands-on knowledge of cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and their architectural trade-offs
  • Experience designing integration-heavy environments using APIs, messaging, and event streaming technologies
  • Proven ability to engage credibly with executives, facilitating discussions that balance business priorities, risk, and technical feasibility
  • Comfort synthesizing complex data, requirements, and constraints into actionable recommendations and insights
  • Strong grounding in security, identity, and governance considerations within distributed systems
  • Familiarity with DevOps, CI/CD, observability, and operational excellence as architectural concerns
  • Consulting mindset: structured thinking, empathy, strong facilitation skills, and the ability to create clarity in ambiguous situations
  • Delivery-first – balances architecture vision with delivery pragmatism
  • System thinker – connects business strategy with technical implementation
  • Influential – guides teams through clarity, trust, and technical authority
  • Collaborative – thrives on co-design and continuous feedback across disciplines
  • Flexible, client-aligned work model — autonomy with accountability, adapting to client delivery needs
  • Variable bonus & RRSP contributions tied to performance and delivery impact
  • 4 weeks paid time off (plus public holidays)
  • Paid professional development days and continuous learning opportunities
