Platform Architect – Apple – Montreal, QC

Based in Montreal, Quebec, this Platform Architect role at Apple sits within the Canadian Field Engineering team and offers a rare opportunity to shape how business and education partners adopt Apple technology at scale. If you thrive at the intersection of deep technical expertise and strategic customer engagement, this home-office field sales position could be your next move.

You’ll work as a trusted advisor across Apple’s channel sales organization, guiding partners through best-in-class IT platform deployment, security architecture, and lifecycle management. Expect up to 35% domestic travel as you build meaningful relationships with partners and customers across Canada.

About the Role: Platform Architect

As a Platform Architect, your core focus is enabling partners to successfully deploy, manage, and secure Apple’s platform at scale. You’ll guide the development of IT practices that outlast your direct engagement — building environments where Apple technology thrives long term. This includes advising on user experience strategies, application management, and support frameworks that drive ongoing customer success.

A significant part of this role involves introducing long-term service offerings through channel partners, ensuring scalable outcomes for end customers. You’ll need to communicate complex technical concepts clearly to both technical teams and executive stakeholders, and you’ll collaborate cross-functionally to navigate complex organizational environments. Bilingualism in English and French is a strong asset given the Montreal market.
