Sherweb is a cloud distribution and partner platform that provides a marketplace, billing and provisioning control panel, self-service portals, and integrations to help managed service providers (MSPs) and resellers sell, deploy, and manage cloud solutions. The company offers professional services (onboarding, helpdesk, NOC, MDR), Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider expertise, cybersecurity and continuity tools, and flexible partner programs including white-label, co-branded, and advisor options, backed by 24/7 human support and strategic account management.

📋 Description

• Act as Sherweb’s dedicated technological scout, continuously evaluating emerging software technologies, platforms, and architectural patterns; both inside and outside Sherweb’s current ecosystem • Build proofs of concept (PoCs) and experimental prototypes to validate ideas, de-risk new approaches, and explore innovative concepts without immediate production constraints • Explore new domains even when there is no immediate product plan, purely to understand the underlying concepts and assess long-term relevance (e.g., experimenting with projects like OpenClaw even if they may never be adopted internally) • Serve as a bridge between exploration and execution: once a technology shows potential, collaborate with and involve other Sherweb architects to help bring the idea to life within Sherweb’s context • Perform continuous technological watch on modern software architecture, cloud platforms, AI agents, orchestration systems, MCP servers, developer tooling, and emerging programming models • Experiment hands-on with new technologies by: Writing exploratory code, Building isolated prototypes, Creating proof-of-concept architectures • Design and document experimental solution architectures to clearly explain: What problem the technology solves, How it works, Where it could (or could not) fit within Sherweb’s ecosystem • Perform early feasibility studies, favoring fast iteration, rapid learning, and “fail fast” approaches when appropriate • Prepare lightweight technical briefings and architecture notes to share findings with Sherweb architects and leadership • Work largely independently while maintaining strong alignment with the VP, Platform & Engineering • When appropriate, collaborate with other architects to transition validated ideas toward broader adoption or productization

🎯 Requirements

• University degree in Computer Science (or equivalent experience) • 10+ years of hands-on technical experience in software development and/or solution architecture • Strong experience designing and experimenting with modern software architectures, including cloud-native and distributed systems • Demonstrated experience evaluating, testing, and experimenting with emerging technologies, not just consuming mature ones • Excellent coding ability and comfort building prototypes alone from scratch • Proficiency in both spoken and written English; French proficiency is considered an asset.

🏖️ Benefits

• A fast-paced work environment that adapts to you • A friendly and diverse work culture with inclusion and equality at the heart of our actions • State-of-the art technology and tools • A results-oriented culture where talent, action, and thinking outside the box are given due recognition • Annual salary review based on performance • Generous and caring colleagues of various professional and cultural backgrounds • A flexible total compensation offer • Vacation time that considers your previous experience • Advanced paid hours to recharge your batteries (holidays and mobile days) • Flexible benefits plan that adapts to your needs • Flexible savings fund options • A monthly home internet allowance • Paid training hours • Considerable growth opportunities • A career path with opportunities to learn and grow • Proximity to your direct manager and open, honest communication to support your development • Multiple initial and on-the-job training opportunities and tools to track your progress and help you scale up in your career • Last but not least: “Sherweblife” - a rich calendar of activities that allow us to gather virtually and face-to-face throughout the year
