Enterprise Solutions Architect

Enterprise Solutions Architect McKinney, TX (Onsite)

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.

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 .
