Job description

Job Summary

Lazer is seeking a Solutions Engineer to join our team and play a pivotal role in guiding some of the world’s largest brands through their commerce transformation. As a Solutions Engineer, you will act as a consultant at the earliest stages of the sales cycle, helping multi-billion-dollar enterprises evaluate and plan their move onto Shopify from legacy platforms like Salesforce Commerce Cloud, Adobe Commerce, or BigCommerce.

You will work directly with client executives, technical stakeholders, and Lazer’s delivery teams to map out enterprise architectures, extract requirements, and codify future-state solutions on Shopify. Your ability to understand complex commerce ecosystems and translate them into accurate scopes of work will directly impact client success and Lazer’s ability to deliver excellence.

This is a highly client-facing role for someone who thrives at the intersection of consulting, commerce technology, and enterprise architecture.

The Role

As a Solutions Engineer, you will :

• Own discovery and solutioning: Lead discovery workshops with client executives and technical teams to deeply understand their current enterprise architecture, business processes, and pain points.
• Architect the future state: Define what their ecosystem will look like on Shopify (e.g. commerce, checkout, headless, POS, OMS, ERP, WMS, CRM, CDP, analytics, personalization, etc.).
• Design migrations: Scope complex replatforming projects from Salesforce, Adobe, or BigCommerce onto Shopify, including data, integrations, and customizations.
• Integration leadership: Architect ERP (e.g. NetSuite), OMS / WMS (e.g. Manhattan), and CMS (e.g. Sanity, Contentful) integrations, leveraging iPaaS tools where needed.
• Document and codify: Produce clear technical architectures, solution diagrams, and statements of work to guide Lazer’s engineering teams.
• Bridge sales and delivery: Partner with business development and client partner teams to create compelling solution proposals and ensure smooth handoff into delivery.
• Stay Shopify-first: Maintain deep knowledge of Shopify’s ecosystem (markets, checkout extensibility, functions, APIs, analytics, etc.) and apply that expertise to client contexts.
• Consult with confidence: Advise enterprise stakeholders on trade-offs, risks, and best practices when adopting Shopify.

Qualifications

We’re looking for someone who brings a blend of consulting acumen, technical expertise, and enterprise commerce experience :

• Deep understanding of enterprise commerce platforms: Salesforce Commerce Cloud, Adobe Commerce, BigCommerce, and Shopify.
• Enterprise architecture experience: Skilled at mapping and redesigning large-scale digital commerce ecosystems.
• Integration expertise: Familiarity with ERP, OMS, WMS, CMS, CDPs, and iPaaS platforms.
• Consulting mindset: Ability to extract requirements, ask the right questions, and translate ambiguous client input into a clear, structured scope.
• Communication skills: Comfortable working with both client executives (CIO, CTO, CDO) and technical teams; excellent written and verbal communication.
• Solution design: Capable of producing high-quality architecture diagrams, scopes of work, and solution blueprints.
• Client-facing presence: Confident in early-stage sales conversations, discovery sessions, and technical presentations.
• Continuous learner: Keeps up to date on Shopify’s evolving ecosystem and broader commerce technology trends.
