Senior E-commerce Solutions Architect
Are you a technical strategist who thrives at the absolute intersection of enterprise architecture and high-growth digital commerce?
I am partnering with a leading, award-winning e-commerce agency that is reshaping the digital footprint for global D2C powerhouse brands and complex B2B enterprises. As a Senior Solutions Architect, you won't just be drawing technical blueprints—you will own the technical discovery, migration strategies, and architectural evolution for high-transaction ecosystems pushing millions in revenue.
This isn’t a back-room engineering role. You will act as the ultimate trusted advisor to enterprise merchants and a vital ally to our commercial squads, mapping out high-performance tech stacks that balance bleeding-edge innovation with rock-solid commercial viability.
Key Responsibilities
- Commercial Pre-Sales & Discovery: Act as the technical anchor in discovery workshops and high-value pitches, confidently guiding C-suite stakeholders through complex tech decisions and ensuring projects are accurately scoped to protect agency delivery margins.
- Architectural Blueprinting: Design and architect scalable Shopify Plus, hybrid, and fully headless/composable (MACH) commerce solutions tailored to complex, enterprise-grade merchant requirements.
- Enterprise Systems Integration: Lead the technical design for mission-critical integrations connecting e-commerce frontends to core back-office infrastructure (ERP, PIM, OMS, and WMS frameworks like NetSuite, SAP, or Akeneo).
- Risk-Mitigated Migrations: Map out seamless data migration patterns and robust operational risk mitigations to confidently transition clients away from restrictive legacy platforms.
- Engineering Leadership: Champion best practices across performance, security, and extensibility by leading code/architecture reviews and mentoring senior development squads to ensure flawless delivery.

What We’re Looking For
- Agency Pedigree: Proven experience operating as a Technical Lead, Solutions Consultant, or Architect within a fast-paced digital, e-commerce, or systems-integrator agency environment.
- Shopify Plus Mastery: Expert-level understanding of the Shopify Plus ecosystem, including deep familiarity with Shopify APIs, GraphQL, Checkout Extensibility, and Shopify Functions.
- Modern Composable Paradigms: Hands-on exposure to headless commerce architectures, modern frontend frameworks (React, Next.js, Hydrogen), and composable/MACH principles (e.g., commercetools, Contentful).
- Integration Ecosystems: A deep understanding of middleware/iPaaS tools (MuleSoft, Celigo, Boomi) and complex data synchronization patterns.
- Boardroom Presence: Exceptional communication skills with a proven track record of translating dense, highly technical concepts into clear, value-driven commercial outcomes for non-technical stakeholders.
