MAKE HISTORY WITH US!

We are looking for a highly experienced Senior Solution Architect to lead the architectural vision for PMI’s B2C e-commerce platforms, focused on scalable, composable commerce solutions.

Experience with modern commerce ecosystems (e.g., Shopify or similar) is highly valued. Exposure to AI-driven commerce (e.g., personalization, assistants, agentic patterns) is a plus but not required.

This role is for people that look to expand their deep vertical knowledge and expand horizontally across broader digital commerce ecosystem that spans across channels and enabling capabilities.

YOUR DAY-TO-DAY

• Partner with Product Owners and Delivery Managers to define product vision and guide teams toward delivering measurable customer value.
• Translate complex and evolving business requirements into robust, scalable, and high-performance e-commerce architectures, leveraging Shopify and other modern commerce technologies where appropriate.
• Own and evolve the application architecture to ensure scalability, maintainability, extensibility, and operational excellence.
• Identify and influence adjacent product roadmaps that either benefit your vertical directly or enable it to achieve added value.
• Assess the current system landscape, identify gaps, and propose forward-thinking architectural strategies.
• Lead and coordinate Proof-of-Concept (PoC) initiatives across engineering teams to validate new solution patterns, including emerging commerce capabilities (e.g., personalization, automation, AI-driven experiences where relevant).
• Identify and refine non-functional requirements, including performance, security, observability, and reliability.
• Collaborate closely with engineering, product, data, and marketing stakeholders to drive new initiatives and platform evolutions.
• Validate and approve architectural changes proposed by business stakeholders, business analysts, and development teams.
• Maintain architectural documentation and ensure a shared understanding across engineering squads.
• Provide performance modeling, technical backlogs, and architectural blueprints for scoped applications.
• Identify improvement opportunities and advise Product Owners on roadmap evolution.
• Deliver integration artifacts for 3rd-party systems, covering Application Architecture, Technical Architecture, and Solution Designs.

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

Must-Have Qualifications

• Deep technical background in application engineering, integration, and solution design.
• 5+ years of experience in the e-commerce domain, preferably with multi-region deployments, and 3+ years of experience as a Solution Architect.
• Strong ownership of non-functional requirements, ensuring their consistent definition, applicability across solutions, and enforcement through architectural governance and standards.
• Demonstrated ability to influence and engage senior stakeholders, ensuring clear communication of architectural vision, trade-offs, and risks, while fostering strong collaboration and ownership across cross-functional teams.
• Proven experience in designing and implementing headless commerce architectures, leveraging scalable integration patterns that ensure security, modularity, and reusability across solutions.

Should-Have Qualifications

• Exposure to AI-driven commerce use cases (e.g., personalisation, recommendation engines, conversational interfaces, automation) is considered a plus.
• Frontend expertise (e.g., React, Next.js, or Shopify Hydrogen).
• Experience designing or guiding headless frontend implementations.
• Experience with Shopify or similar modern commerce platforms (e.g., SAP Commerce, Salesforce Commerce, Magento).
• Experience with platform integrations, middleware patterns, composable commerce setups, and event-driven architectures.

Nice-to-Have Qualifications

• Expertise in the Shopify stack and ecosystem, such as Liquid, Hydrogen, Shopify Functions, Checkout Extensibility, and plus-certified capabilities.
• Experience with Shopify integrations & plugins, middleware patterns, composable commerce setups, and event-driven architectures.

• Knowledge of Content Supply Chain processes, platforms, and automation patterns (DAM, PIM, workflow orchestrators, content generation).
• Experience with AWS services and cloud-native architectures.
• Familiarity with other e-commerce or ERP integrations (e.g., SAP, order orchestration systems).
• Experience with APM tooling for E2E tracing.

What Success Looks Like

• You create a future-proof, business-aligned e-commerce architecture that enables rapid feature delivery.
