Descripción de la vacante

Toshiba Global Commerce Solutions is seeking a hands-on Senior Software Architect to lead end-to-end solution delivery, combining platform development, client engagement, and partner integrations for major retail platforms. This role unifies architecture leadership, platform building, and AI-enabled acceleration.

You will own the complete architecture lifecycle from discovery to production readiness, guiding both the Discovery Track (rapid prototyping, feasibility validation, client alignment)

Formación

• 8 years of professional software development experience, with recent hands-on coding and prototyping in modern tech stacks.
• 5+ years designing cloud-native, microservices, or event-driven architectures (Azure or equivalent cloud platforms).
• Proven experience owning end-to-end solution delivery, including design, implementation, and post-release operational accountability for medium-to-large projects.
• Experience with partner integrations - payments, SaaS APIs, loyalty, inventory, or authentication providers.
• Hands-on experience building prototypes or reference implementations to validate architecture and solution feasibility.
• Experience with API-first design (REST/OpenAPI).
• Experience with relational/non-relational databases (SQL/NoSQL).
• Solid grasp of containerization, CI/CD, and Kubernetes-based delivery pipelines.
• Practical experience with generative AI and AI-assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor).
• Excellent stakeholder communication skills, able to facilitate workshops, present technical solutions, and collaborate across business and engineering teams.
• Proven leadership in mentoring engineers, conducting code reviews, and enforcing architecture governance.

Responsabilidades

• Lead end-to-end solution architecture across discovery, design, delivery, and operational readiness for both platform and client solutions.
• Design and build new platform infrastructure to support emerging product requirements and use cases.
• Produce and maintain key architectural artifacts: ADRs, interface contracts, data flow diagrams, infrastructure specs, sequencing diagrams, migration/rollback plans, and traceability matrices.
• Define and enforce architecture standards, integration patterns, and non-functional requirements across all solutions.
• Write production code for critical platform features and infrastructure components.
• Build core platform capabilities that enable rapid feature development and solution delivery.
• Establish reusable patterns, shared services, and API-first designs for platform extensibility.
• Serve as active technical lead in client engagements.
• Lead Discovery Track activities.
• Drive approvals and alignment across business and technical stakeholders.
• Establish and maintain partner integration architectures across third-party ecosystems.
• Govern architecture consistency across partner integrations and internal product lines.
• Define authentication strategies (OAuth, SAML, API keys), error handling, and API versioning.
• Ensure architecture quality gates and participate in design reviews and release sign-offs.
• Identify and mitigate architecture risks - compatibility, data integrity, scalability, and partner dependencies.
• Own risk analysis and mitigation for architecture decisions, including backward compatibility and compliance constraints.
• Contribute to continuous improvement through reusable patterns, automation, and cross-team alignment.
• Mentor and upskill engineers and architects on AI-assisted development, Dual-Track workflows, and platform best practices.
• Contribute to platform and portfolio strategy, identifying gaps requiring investment and reusable assets.
