Key Responsibilities

• Define and maintain the enterprise architecture strategy, ensuring technology decisions align with business growth, modernization priorities, and operational resilience
• Build and manage enterprise-wide architecture frameworks across applications, data, integrations, security, and infrastructure.
• Own and evolve architectural governance processes, technology standards, reference architectures, and documentation.
• Lead architecture oversight for major programs including digital commerce (Shopify), ERP modernization, CRM evolution, data platform modernization, BI/analytics lifecycle, and cloud adoption.
• Evaluate and approve new technologies, vendor solutions, integrations, and modernization initiatives based on scalability, cost, alignment, and future-state direction.
• Partner with product, engineering, and leadership teams to translate requirements into high-level and detailed technical design.
• Provide architectural leadership in platform evolution including composable architecture, microservices, APIs, event-driven systems, and cloud infrastructure.
• Serve as a technical advisor to senior leadership on technology investments, system interdependencies, and risk management.
• Mentor engineering and architecture talent, fostering consistency, reusability, and best practices across teams.

Core Requirements

• Strong background designing and integrating large-scale systems including:
  • Shopify or enterprise eCommerce platforms
  • CRM, ERP, OMS, POS, and fulfillment systems
  • Data platforms (Snowflake, SQL Server, Power BI ecosystem)
  • Proven expertise with modern architecture patterns:
  • API-first / microservices
  • Event-driven or pub/sub integration
  • Cloud architecture (Azure or AWS preferred)

Preferred Experience

• Experience modernizing legacy or monolithic retail environments to cloud-first, API-driven models.

• A strong communicator capable of influencing executives, engineers, and business teams.
• Able to simplify complex systems into actionable, scalable architecture.
• Focused on business outcomes—not just technical correctness.
• A leader who values documentation, patterns, and predictable execution.
