Description du poste

Your purpose at Stanley/Stella

Stanley/Stella is accelerating its digital transformation to strengthen customer experience and scale its business platforms across an international ecosystem of decorators, resellers, and partners.

The Technology architect acts as the company’s senior technical authority, reporting directly to the CIO.

This role defines, governs, and continuously evolves the technology foundations of the enterprise ensuring coherence, scalability, resilience, and security across all platforms, integrations, and data capabilities.

This is a cross-cutting technical mandate not a functional management role with accountability for integrating, securing, and anticipating technologies across the organization.

The role prevents fragmentation, avoids short-term decisions with long-term consequences, and translates emerging technologies into robust, production-ready foundations.

A key and immediate priority is to lead the integration of AI technologies including RAG pipelines, agentic workflows, orchestration tools, low-code platforms, and API-based integrations across the company’s core stack: Infor M3, HubSpot, Magento, Azure, and Power BI.

Your role and impact

"Build the AI foundations of today while helping define the engineering practices of tomorrow"

The Mission

Turn strategic technology and AI ambitions into operational reality. Design andoperationalisea vendor-agnostic AI ecosystem, help define future engineering practices, andestablishthe architecture, standards,governanceand platform capabilities that enable sustainable innovation across Stanley/Stella.

What You Will Build In The First 12 Months

• Enterprise AI Reference Architecture and target AI Technology Stack
• First production-ready Agent Platform
• MCP standards and API-first integration patterns
• AI Governance, Prompt Engineering, Evaluation and Drift Monitoring Frameworks
• Enterprise AI Technology Radar
• AI-Assisted Engineering Framework including vibe coding, application generation, testing,qualificationand production readiness standards
• As software engineering is being transformed by AI, low-code platforms and application-generation tools, you will help define how these capabilities should be safely adopted across theorganisation, including the guardrails, standards and best practices required to balance innovation, quality, security and maintainability.
• AI & Engineering Adoption Dashboard measuring usage, maturity, compliance and value delivery

Your Impact

• Build a model-agnostic AI architecture
• Co-design AI-ready data foundations with the Data Lead
• Drive MCP and API-first transformation
• Define standards for agents, copilots,RAGand intelligent automation
• Guide technology choices across AI platforms, cloud services, front-end frameworks, digital experienceplatformsand future engineering capabilities
• Evaluate modern web technologies, composable architectures, React/Next.js ecosystems, AI-generated applications, low-code platforms andindustrializedvibe codingapproaches
• Define thedo’sand don’ts for AI-assisted development and application generation
• Establish standards for automated testing, qualification, securityreviewsand production readiness
• Promote,evangelize,measureand continuously improve the frameworks you define
• Contribute to broader architecture, integration, observability,platformand security topics

Adoption, Governance & Measurement

You do not ‘only ‘define standards and frameworks. You ensure they are adopted,measurableand continuously improved.You will animate communities of practice, establish KPIs, monitor adoption, measure compliance, create feedback loops, identify improvement opportunities and report outcomes to technology leadership.Success is not achieved when standards are documented. Success is achieved when they are adopted, measured,challengedand continuously improved across theorganisation.

What Matters

You ensure that data capabilities evolve in a way that supports AI adoption and agent-based architectures working closely with Data Lead.

You have a strong appreciation for security,resilienceand operational excellence.

About You

• Youlikely startedyour career as a software engineer,developeror technical lead before evolving into architecture and technology leadership roles.
• You understand what it takes to build, integrate,deployandoperatereal-world systems because you have done it yourself.
• You combine hands-on technical credibility with the ability to step back, structure complexproblemsand design sustainable enterprise foundations.
• You are equally comfortable discussing APIs, integration patterns, cloud platforms, modern web technologies, front-end architectures, data architectures, AIframeworksand business priorities.
• You have enough software engineering experienceto crediblychallengearchitecture decisions across front-end, back-end, integration,cloudand AI domains.
• Most importantly, you are pragmatic:youdistinguish sustainable enterprise capabilities from short-lived technology trends and make recommendations based on business value, scalability,maintainabilityand long-term impact rather than hype.

Potential

You will not be measured by the number of chatbots you build, but by your ability toestablishthe architecture, platforms,standardsand operating models that allow Stanley/Stella to scale AI and modern engineering practices consistently across the enterprise.
