Code and Theory, LLC; New York; On-site; GBP 112,000 - 161,000; Full time

Job summary

Code and Theory is seeking a hands-on Multi-Solution Architect to lead Adobe Commerce architecture within our Adobe practice. You will design end-to-end commerce solutions for B2B and B2C, including catalog, pricing, checkout, and order management, across cloud-native, API-first architectures.

You will integrate with AEM, AEP/CDP, Target, and Workfront, mentor engineers, contribute to sales pursuits, and guide migrations from legacy platforms. Strong client-facing communication is essential.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of enterprise technology experience, including 5+ years architecting Adobe Commerce (Magento) solutions at scale.
• Deep, hands-on expertise in Adobe Commerce/Magento 2 architecture.
• Experience with headless/composable commerce including PWA Studio, Adobe Commerce Storefront, GraphQL APIs, and modern frontend frameworks (React, Next.js).
• Hands-on experience integrating Adobe Commerce with AEM, AEP/Real-Time CDP, Adobe Target, and/or Adobe Campaign in real client engagements, not just adjacent platform awareness.
• Strong experience with third-party and backend system integrations like ERP (SAP, NetSuite, Dynamics), OMS, PIM, payment gateways, tax engines, and logistics/shipping providers.
• Experience with extension development and customization in PHP, and familiarity with Adobe Commerce Cloud infrastructure, deployment, and DevOps practices.
• Proven experience leading technical solutioning for RFPs, client pursuits, and architecture reviews with executive stakeholders.
• Experience migrating clients from legacy or competitor commerce platforms onto Adobe Commerce.
• Strong understanding of performance engineering for high-traffic commerce, like caching (Varnish, Redis), catalog indexing, and checkout optimization.

Responsibilities

• Architect end-to-end Adobe Commerce (Magento Open Source and Commerce/Cloud) solutions for enterprise B2B and B2C clients, from catalog and pricing to checkout, order management, and fulfillment.
• Design headless and composable commerce architectures using PWA Studio, Adobe Commerce Storefront, GraphQL, and API-first integration patterns.
• Lead architecture reviews and ensure scalable, secure, enterprise-grade implementations aligned with modern patterns (API-first, composable, cloud-native).
• Design integrations between Adobe Commerce and the broader Adobe ecosystem: AEM for content and merchandising experiences, AEP/Real-Time CDP for unified customer profiles and personalization, Adobe Target for experimentation, and Workfront for content and campaign operations.
• Architect B2B commerce capabilities (company accounts, quoting, negotiated pricing, requisition lists, and complex catalog/pricing rules) alongside B2C storefront experiences.
• Own technical solutioning for enterprise RFPs and strategic deals, partnering with sales and client partners on scoping, estimation, and solution design.
• Translate business requirements into scalable commerce architectures, including migration strategy for clients moving from legacy or competitor platforms onto Adobe Commerce.
• Design and guide extension development, third-party integrations (ERP, OMS, PIM, payment gateways, tax, shipping/logistics), and custom module architecture.
• Guide performance and scalability engineering: catalog indexing, caching strategy, checkout performance, and peak-load readiness.
• Use AI tools like Claude, Cursor, and V0/Vercel to build AI-enabled workflows, agents, skills, and automation that improve delivery speed, code quality, and operational efficiency.
• Mentor and upskill engineers and application architects on Adobe Commerce best practices, extension standards, and modern architecture patterns.
• Contribute reusable accelerators, reference architectures, and delivery playbooks that raise the commerce practice’s technical standards and speed up future engagements.
