Senior Solutions Architect

The role

Enterprise B2B commerce doesn't fail at the storefront. It fails at the seams, where the platform meets the ERP, the PIM, the OMS and the CRM. We're hiring a Senior Solutions Architect to own those seams for our clients.

You'll be the technical lead and point person on client engagements. You'll design the solution, make the calls, run the workshops and own the backlog. Then you'll stay close to the code with our developers to make sure it gets built right.

You'll work with client teams in IT, eCommerce and operations, and with our own engineers and operations strategists. Some engagements are rescues of platforms that aren't working. Others are integrations, upgrades or new builds. All of them need someone who can see the whole system and own the outcome.

If you've built enterprise software hands-on, have strong opinions on integration, and want to lead the work rather than just advise on it, keep reading.

What you'll do

Solution architecture

• Design end-to-end solutions for enterprise B2B commerce platforms, from the storefront to the systems of record behind it.
• Define integrations with ERP, PIM, CRM, OMS and other enterprise systems, and choose the right pattern for each: APIs, messaging, events or batch.
• Architect on cloud infrastructure (AWS and Azure) with security, performance and scale built in.
• Assess existing client platforms, find what's breaking and why, and lay out a practical plan to fix it.

Technical leadership and delivery

• Lead the delivery team on your engagements. Be the point person, make the technical decisions and keep the project moving.
• Stay hands-on. Review code, prototype hard problems and step into Java development when it matters.
• Use AI coding agents to speed up delivery, and help the team adopt them well.
• Mentor and guide less experienced developers.

Backlog and project ownership

• Own the backlog. Write user stories and acceptance criteria, prioritize with the business and work with developers to deliver.
• Plan and run projects using agile methods, from estimates and sprint planning to release.
• Own each project's success, not just your part of it.

Client partnership

• Run discovery and design workshops with both business and technical stakeholders.
• Lead technical conversations with client IT leaders and explain trade-offs clearly to non-technical audiences.
• Spot opportunities where Data Realm can add value, and help scope them.
• Work with our operations strategists so what we build supports how clients run their business.

What you bring

• 10+ years in software development, with a hands-on background in the Java ecosystem.
• Several years in a solutions or technical architect role, leading teams on client or enterprise projects.
• Deep knowledge of cloud services, ideally AWS and/or Azure.
• Enterprise integration patterns, inside out, in theory and in practice. You know when to use each one and what goes wrong when you don't.
• Experience with the systems of record behind enterprise commerce (PIM, ERP, CRM, OMS), and opinions on how to integrate them.
• Experience working with enterprise clients and their IT teams.
• Hands-on experience using AI agents to build software, and a clear view on where they help and where they don't.
• Leadership. You can run a team, be the point person, make decisions and lead the conversation.
• An independent problem solver who owns a project and invests in its success.
• Comfortable running a workshop with business users in the morning and reviewing a pull request in the afternoon.
• Experience owning a backlog: writing user stories, prioritizing with the business and working with developers to deliver.
• Clear, direct writing and communication.

Nice to have

• Enterprise eCommerce experience, a huge plus. Especially Intershop, Elastic Path, SAP Commerce (Hybris) or commercetools.
• Project management expertise, also a huge plus: agile methods, project planning, estimating and running delivery.
• A track record of mentoring developers and helping them grow.
• Experience leading a re-platform, migration or major upgrade on an enterprise commerce platform.
• Familiarity with search, PIM and DAM tools in the commerce stack (SPARQUE, Algolia, Coveo, Inriver, Akeneo, Bynder).
• Cloud or architecture certifications (AWS, Azure, TOGAF).

Get our attention

We like people who are independent and get the job done. So don't just send a resume: show us. Tell us about a hard problem you took on without being asked and saw through to the end, link to something you've built or written, or share how you'd untangle a messy ERP or PIM integration. Do something that makes us want to call you, and put it in the Get Our Attention! box on the form below.

How to apply

Use the form below to upload your cover letter and resume. In your cover letter, tell us about one integration or architecture decision you're proud of: the problem, the options you weighed, what you chose and how it turned out. If you've used AI agents on a real project, tell us how.
