Role: Solution Architect – Ecommerce & Omnichannel
Location: South West London - 1 day a week Salary: Up to £115,000 + Bonus & Benefits
I'm working with a major consumer-facing organisation going through a significant transformation of its digital and ecommerce proposition.
The organisation is at the beginning of a significant period of change rather than simply maintaining an established ecommerce platform.
You'll have the opportunity to shape the architecture, influence major technology decisions and see the transformation through from design into delivery, with the digital proposition expanding significantly over the coming years.
They are looking for a Solution Architect to play a key role in shaping the next generation of their ecommerce ecosystem as they expand their digital proposition across new services, markets and customer journeys.
This role isn't focused purely on one ecommerce platform or one part of the journey. You'll be looking across the end-to-end ecommerce landscape from the customer-facing digital experience through checkout and payments, into order management, inventory, fulfilment, delivery and returns.
You'll work closely with Product, Engineering and Architecture teams, alongside a number of strategic technology partners, to define how the future platform should evolve and ensure the architecture can support significant growth and international expansion.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What you'll be doing
- Own solution architecture across a major Ecommerce and Omnichannel transformation
- Design solutions spanning the complete customer and order journey
- Shape target-state architecture and the roadmap from the existing technology landscape
- Architect across areas such as web/app, product and catalogue, basket, checkout, payments, OMS, inventory, fulfilment, delivery and returns
- Define integration patterns between ecommerce platforms, enterprise systems and third-party technology providers
- Support the evolution towards scalable, modern and potentially composable/MACH-based architectures
- Translate commercial and customer requirements into practical technology solutions
- Work closely with Product Managers, Engineering teams and Enterprise Architecture
- Provide architectural leadership across onshore, nearshore and offshore delivery partners
- Ensure solutions can support increased transaction volumes, new customer propositions and expansion into additional markets
- Work with senior stakeholders to explain architectural decisions, options and trade-offs
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You'll already be operating as a Solution Architect, Ecommerce Architect, Digital Architect or Commerce Architect, with experience delivering significant ecommerce transformation.
We're particularly interested in experience across:
- Large-scale Ecommerce / Digital Commerce
- Omnichannel retail
- Customer-facing web and mobile journeys
- Checkout and payments
- Order Management Systems
- Product/catalogue and inventory
- Fulfilment, delivery and returns
- APIs and enterprise integration
- SaaS and third-party ecommerce platforms
- Modern cloud and/or composable commerce architectures
- Architecture within complex, high-volume environments
Experience within retail, fashion or another high-volume consumer business would be particularly valuable.
You don't need to be a hands-on developer. What matters is that you've got enough technical depth to understand how the different components of a modern ecommerce ecosystem connect, while being able to operate at the architecture and business level.
