eCommerce Digital Solutions & Platform Architect

Position Overview

We are seeking a Digital Solutions & Platform Architect to serve as the primary technical and process visionary for our eCommerce ecosystem. This is a business-centric architectural role responsible for the "Digital Value Chain" that connects our customers to our parts.

You will orchestrate the flow of commerce across a headless environment consisting of Spryker (Commerce Engine), Syndigo (PIM), and a modernized Vin Catalogue, ensuring seamless real-time integration with our Dealer Management Systems (CDK, Procede, SAP, Karmak). Your goal is to ensure that complex B2B business processes — from fleet procurement to core charge returns — are automated, scalable, and resilient.

As the architect of this platform, you own both the backend integration contracts and the frontend architecture standards — including TypeScript-based component design, SSR/SSG rendering strategy, and frontend observability — ensuring the headless storefront deployed on Azure is a first-class architectural concern, not an afterthought.

Responsibilities

Strategic Business & Process Orchestration

• Value Stream Mapping: Architect the end-to-end digital journey for Wholesale and Fleet customers, ensuring data flows correctly across all 5 specialized product PODs.
• Business Process Connectivity: Lead the design of complex B2B logic, including contract pricing, part supersessions, and credit-limit orchestration between the storefront and the DMS.
• Transaction Reliability (Saga Patterns): Design distributed transaction strategies to ensure system-wide data integrity. If a transaction fails in one system (e.g., the DMS), you ensure the ecosystem (e.g., Spryker) handles the rollback or recovery automatically.
• Heterogeneous DMS Integration: Own the integration strategy across CDK, Procede, SAP, and Karmak — spanning both real-time API orchestration and batch/EDI data exchange patterns, accounting for each system's distinct integration profile.

Platform Governance & Leadership

• Headless Ecosystem Oversight: Own the API-first roadmap, ensuring the custom TypeScript UI layer remains decoupled from the backend for maximum agility and team autonomy.
• Azure Cloud Platform Ownership: Govern the Azure-hosted infrastructure for the frontend and integration layer — including App Services, Azure Front Door, CDN configuration, Azure API Management, and Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines. Champion cloud cost governance and platform reliability.
• Modernization Strategy: Direct the Strangler Pattern migration of legacy parts logic into modern, high-performance microservices, with AI-assisted tooling used to accelerate refactoring and automated test coverage.
• Cross-POD Synchronization: Act as the Grand Orchestrator to manage technical dependencies between the Storefront, Core Commerce, and Fleet teams.
• End-to-End Observability: Define and own the observability strategy across the full platform — distributed tracing from the storefront through Spryker to DMS, alerting, incident response runbooks, and SLA governance.

Commerce Platform & Integration

• eCommerce Mastery: Deep conceptual and practical understanding of Spryker or similar platforms — Glue API, Zed, State Machines, and the Spryker B2B Suite.
• PIM Orchestration (Syndigo): Lead the data mapping strategy from Syndigo to the storefront, including content syndication channels, product enrichment pipelines, catalog taxonomy governance, and ensuring million-row catalogs remain searchable and technically accurate. Ownership of the PIM-to-search index pipeline underpinning storefront filtering and discovery.
• Integration Expertise: Proven track record integrating eCommerce platforms with ERP or DMS environments, including both real-time API and batch/EDI exchange patterns.
• Modern Stack: Expert knowledge of API-first design, Microservices, and Event-Driven Architecture.
• Data & Integration: Deep experience with Middleware/iPaaS logic and relational/NoSQL database design.
• Security: Solid understanding of OAuth2, OpenID Connect, and secure B2B data exchange.

Cloud Platform (Azure)

• Azure Infrastructure: Hands-on experience with Azure App Services, Static Web Apps, Azure Front Door, CDN, and Azure API Management for gateway-layer orchestration.
• DevOps & Delivery: Proficiency with Azure DevOps pipelines for frontend and backend CI/CD, including build optimization, release gating, and environment promotion strategies.
• Cloud Governance: Experience with cloud cost management, resource tagging, and reliability engineering (SLOs, auto-scaling, blue/green deployments) on Azure.

Frontend Architecture (TypeScript / Headless)

• TypeScript-First UI Architecture: Expert-level TypeScript in a React/Next.js environment, including strict type systems, type-safe API consumption from headless commerce and PIM endpoints, shared schema contracts between frontend and backend, and enforcing TypeScript standards across squads.
• Headless Storefront Patterns: Experience building decoupled storefronts that consume commerce/PIM APIs — SSR/SSG rendering strategy, content composition, and multi-channel delivery.
• Modern UI Frameworks: Hands-on experience with React (preferred) and common ecosystem tooling (Next.js, component libraries, design systems) and scalable front-end architecture patterns.
• Performance & Observability: Strong knowledge of Core Web Vitals, caching strategies, and front-end monitoring/telemetry for troubleshooting at scale.
• Build Tooling & Delivery: Familiarity with modern build tooling, package management, linting/formatting, and CI/CD pipelines for front-end delivery.

Minimum Requirements

• Bachelor's degree and at least 6 years of technical project/program management experience
• At least 3 years of lead experience

OR

• Master's degree and at least 5 years of technical project/program management experience
• At least 3 years of lead experience

OR

• At least 10 years of technical project/program management experience
• At least 3 years of lead experience

Additional Requirements

• Qualified candidates, excluding current employees, must be legally authorized on an unrestricted basis (US Citizen, Legal Permanent Resident, Refugee or Asylee) to be employed in the United States. We do not anticipate providing employment related work sponsorship for this position (e.g., H-1B status)

Desired Skills

• 8+ years in Digital Architecture, Solutions Engineering, or a comparable hands-on technical leadership role.
• Demonstrated experience owning a headless commerce architecture end-to-end — from PIM data modeling through API design to frontend delivery.
• Experience in the commercial vehicle, automotive, or heavy-duty parts industry is a significant plus.
• Proven ability to lead Core + Flex (Employee/Contractor) blended teams and set quality standards across both.
• A Product Mindset — you see the platform as a business solution, not just a set of technical requirements.
