Job Description
The
Enterprise Architect
is responsible for defining and governing the
end-to-end enterprise architecture
across
frontend ,
backend ,
integration , and
cloud platforms . This role ensures alignment between
business strategy ,
technology platforms , and
delivery execution , enabling scalable, resilient, and composable digital platforms across
web ,
mobile ,
desktop , and
associate-facing retail environments .
The Enterprise Architect provides
architectural vision ,
guardrails , and
decision frameworks , while working closely with
Frontend Architects ,
Backend Architects ,
Tech Leads , and
Product leaders
to ensure consistent, future-proof implementations.
Key Responsibilities
Enterprise Architecture & Strategy Define and maintain the
enterprise technology blueprint
covering:
Frontend platforms (ReactJS, React Native, Micro-Frontends, SDUI) Backend platforms (.NET microservices, BFFs, event-driven systems) Cloud and infrastructure (Azure, Kubernetes, CI/CD)
Translate business capabilities into
modular, composable architecture models . Drive long-term
technology roadmap planning , balancing innovation, scalability, and risk. Platform & Domain Architecture Governance
Govern
domain ownership and bounded contexts
across frontend and backend systems using
Domain-Driven Design (DDD) . Ensure consistent application of
Clean Architecture ,
CQRS , and
event-driven principles
across teams. Define standards for
Backend-for-Frontend (BFF)
patterns and frontend integration contracts. Frontend & Experience Architecture
Provide architectural oversight for:
Micro-Frontend architectures
(SSR, CSR, Module Federation) ReactJS and React Native
platforms across web, mobile, and desktop Server-Driven UI (SDUI)
and Atomic Design implementations
Ensure frontend platforms support
white-labeling ,
multi-brand , and
multi-region
use cases. Guide design system strategy and UI shell patterns for associate-facing and customer-facing applications. Backend & Integration Architecture
Define enterprise standards for
.NET microservices
on Azure. Govern
event-driven architecture , including messaging, domain events, and integration patterns. Ensure APIs and services are designed for
scalability ,
versioning , and
backward
compatibility . Guide integration strategies with
headless CMS ,
MBaaS ,
POS systems , and
third-party platforms . Resilience, Reliability & Scalability
Define enterprise-wide
resilience and reliability standards , including:
Circuit breakers, retries, bulkheads, and timeouts Graceful degradation and fallback strategies Eventual consistency models
Ensure systems remain operational during
partial failures ,
downstream outages , and
traffic spikes . Align architectural decisions with
performance ,
availability , and
scalabilitygoals . Cloud & Infrastructure Architecture
Define Azure-native architecture patterns using:
AKS, Azure Functions, Service Bus, Cosmos DB, Azure SQL
Govern
containerization, Kubernetes strategies, and CI/CD pipelines . Ensure security, compliance, and cost-optimization considerations are embedded into architecture decisions. Technology Governance & Decision Making
Establish
architecture guardrails ,
reference architectures , and
decision records (ADRs) . Lead architecture reviews and approve cross-team design decisions. Evaluate and rationalize technology choices across the enterprise. Balance build vs buy decisions for commerce, CMS, and platform capabilities. Collaboration & Leadership
Partner with Product, Engineering, Security, and Operations leadership. Mentor Architects, Tech Leads, and Senior Engineers. Required Skills & Qualifications
Extensive experience in Enterprise or Platform Architecture roles. Strong hands-on background in:
Cloud-native backend systems
(.NET, Azure, microservices) Modern frontend platforms
(ReactJS, React Native, Micro-Frontends)
Deep understanding of:
Composable commerce architectures Domain-Driven Design (DDD) Event-driven systems Clean Architecture principles
Proven experience designing
resilient ,
distributed
systems . Strong understanding of
cross-platform application ecosystems
(Web, Mobile, Desktop). Ability to communicate complex architecture to
technical
and
executive audiences Preferred / Desirable Qualifications
Experience in
retail ,
POS , or
high-volume transactional systems . Exposure to
B2B commerce platforms . Familiarity with
Kotlin Multiplatform / Compose Multiplatform
ecosystems. Experience defining
enterprise design system strategies . Background in
large-scale digital transformation initiatives .
Compensation, Benefits and Duration
Minimum Compensation: USD 64,000 Maximum Compensation: USD 224,000 Compensation is based on actual experience and qualifications of the candidate. The above is a reasonable and a good faith estimate for the role. Medical, vision, and dental benefits, 401k retirement plan, variable pay/incentives, paid time off, and paid holidays are available for full time employees. This position is available for independent contractors No applications will be considered if received more than 120 days after the date of this post.
