Description du poste

Your role and responsibilities

1. Architecture & Solution Design Own the blueprints and "North Star" strategy for the WMS, WCS, TMS, print solution, Inventory Management / Synchronization domains. Own the Solution Architecture through the full project lifecycle, creating concrete artifacts such as sequence diagrams, solution diagrams, and ADRs for the delivery teams. Ensure that we build reusable, scalable platforms and manage the technical debt across our products. Evaluate existing architecture and suggest future architecture in collaboration with Solution Architects, PO’s and Technical leads, following EA guiding principles. Integration Middle Layer: Design and troubleshoot complex integration patterns across event-driven (e.g., Kafka) and middleware platforms (e.g., OIC, Boomi, legacy ERPs). Translate operational and application needs into concrete infrastructure requirements partnering closely with Digital Foundation / Infrastructure Architects.
2. Strategic Roadmap Partner closely with the DPM to ensure the architectural roadmap directly enables the product vision.You will provide the architectural "how" to the DPM’s "what" and "why", ensuring that growth initiatives are feasible, scalable, and delivered. Design and drive the transition from the current state toward a future-proof architecture. Define the phased migration path that balances “developing new features on existing platforms" and evolution towards the new architecture. Pragmatic Visionary: You can see the North Star of a perfect architecture but are realistic enough to define the iterative steps needed to get there.

For cross-team project/features, connect with all the product teams and centers of excellence and arrive at a consolidated uniform decision on architectural setup.

4. Standards, Governance & Compliance Act as the ultimate authority for the WMS, WCS, TMS, printing solution, Inventory Management / Synchronization domains in the architectural area. Formulate and defend architectural exceptions to governance boards and executive stakeholders when business urgency requires a deviation from the standard.

5. Technology & Innovation Translate industry shifts into strategic opportunities for TVH. Lead experimental validation (PoCs) for innovations.
6. Platform & Observability Oversee implementation of new platforms and technologies. Assist in troubleshooting with RUN teams when being confronted with imminent P1 or P2 issues in order to provide guidance towards troubleshooting teams.
