Job description

Solution Architect(Front-End & Storefront)

What You Will Be Doing

• Understand the business needs of our partners and sales team, and analyze requirements related to e-commerce storefronts and digital experiences — going beyond surface needs to uncover the underlying business drivers.
• Provide expert pre-sales technical support, guiding partners and sales teams in understanding how our front-end platform works — theming, customization, checkout, and headless capabilities — and how each maps to the customer's architectural goals.
• Own the translation of enterprise business requirements into storefront architectures — themes, custom components, headless setups, rendering/caching strategy, and third-party front-end services — and define the most efficient execution path.
• Attend customer meetings and deliver technical content and presentations, leading technical discussions with stakeholders from C-level executives to front-end engineering teams.
• Architect complex storefront migrations and front-end modernizations — legacy theme → custom build, template-driven → headless — with 100% fidelity to existing functionality, SEO, accessibility, and customer experience. Own the technical design of custom checkouts, personalization layers, and front-end integrations (headless CMS, analytics, search, 3PL tracking, marketing tools).
• Define and oversee the onboarding and delivery framework for Key Accounts — establishing milestones, managing cross-functional dependencies, and resolving blockers to keep launches on track.
• Ensure seamless post-launch handoff to Merchant Success and Support teams, codifying architecture decisions and remaining the escalation point for complex front-end issues.
• Stay current on the front-end ecosystem — rendering strategies, framework evolution, Core Web Vitals, accessibility standards, headless commerce trends — align them with the company's mission, and feed field insights back into product and engineering.

Who We Are Looking For

• University graduate with at least 5 years of experience in solution architecture, pre-sales, or technical project management — preferably in the e-commerce/SaaS industry (Shopify, BigCommerce, WooCommerce).
• Proven track record of shipping complex, high-traffic storefronts and custom front-end builds — custom checkouts, theme development, personalization, and headless storefronts — at production scale.
• Deep technical fluency in REST/GraphQL APIs, webhooks, HTML/CSS, templating languages (Liquid/Stencil), rendering patterns (SSR/SSG/ISR and edge rendering), performance optimization and Core Web Vitals attribution, accessibility (WCAG), DNS, and data mapping.
• Strong command of component architecture, design systems, and scalable front-end patterns — comfortable defining delivery frameworks that enable other engineers to execute.
• Structured thinking and exceptional technical writing skills — from technical deep-dives to executive-level summaries.
• Proven ability to work collaboratively across cross-functional teams, and an adaptive, solution-oriented mindset that thrives in ambiguity and fast-paced environments.
• High attention to detail with strong organization and coordination skills to manage multiple priorities; genuine curiosity about front-end technology and new product developments.
• Comfortable working in a global, multi-time-zone environment.
