This role requires a forward-thinking architect who can combine modern commerce architecture (headless/composable) with an AI-first mindset, leveraging emerging technologies such as Generative AI, Agentic workflows, and real-time personalization to drive business outcomes.

Responsibilities

• Define and drive end-to-end architecture for scalable, high-performance eCommerce platforms.
• Design composable / headless commerce architectures leveraging API-first and microservices principles.
• Translate business requirements into scalable, extensible technical blueprints.

• Product recommendations & personalization
• Intelligent search & discovery
• Conversational commerce (chat/voice agents)
• Agentic workflows (AI-driven automation across systems)
• Embed GenAI into SDLC (code generation, test automation, documentation, debugging).
• Partner with data teams to enable real-time decisioning using behavioral and transactional data.
• Evaluate and integrate AI platforms (Azure OpenAI, vector databases, LLM orchestration frameworks).

Integration & Ecosystem

• Architect integrations with ERP (Agility / similar), PIM (InRiver or equivalent), CMS (Contentful or headless CMS), Search (Klevu or equivalent), Payment gateways & fraud systems, and Fulfillment & logistics systems.
• Design event-driven architectures using streaming or messaging platforms.
• Enable API-first platform strategy to support internal and external consumers.

Performance, Scalability & Reliability

• Design systems optimized for high traffic and peak season readiness, low latency and strong Core Web Vitals, and high availability and fault tolerance.
• Establish caching, CDN, and edge delivery strategies.
• Define observability strategy (monitoring, logging, tracing).

Cloud & DevOps

• Lead architecture on Azure cloud ecosystem including Azure App Services, Functions, Storage, CDN, and Cosmos DB.
