• Demonstrated success in developing scalable and secure architecture for e-commerce businesses.
• Proficiency in Adobe Commerce Cloud, PHP, MySQL, and web services integration (REST/SOAP).

• As our solutions architect, you will be accountable for the development, maintenance and execution of the systems architecture roadmaps.
• Conduct architectural reviews and propose technical solutions for ongoing digital transformation initiatives.
• Working closely with the logistics, business systems and development teams to ensure that design options are effectively evaluated and that robust recommendations are made.
• Proven ability to react to issues with legacy systems and suggest innovative approaches to day-to-day challenges within the existing bounds of those platforms.
• Ongoing governance of project delivery against agreed designs and assessment of the impact of change requests on the high-level design.
• Partner with product owners, developers, and QA teams to ensure cohesive and efficient project execution.
• Engage with external partners (such as Digital agency) to ensure their deliverables align with our strategic objectives and architectural standards
• Deliver product demonstrations, mapping benefits to customer workflows.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to translate business requirements into technology solutions.
