Reporting to the Senior Distinguished Architect for Go-to-Market systems, you will join a senior global team dedicated to moving the company toward modern, flexible business models by replacing legacy processes with a fast, secure, and scalable technology stack. This role sits at the intersection of business strategy and technical execution, where you will turn high-level goals into the architectural blueprints that drive company growth and revenue.

You will guide us in building cloud-native, real-time data systems that react instantly to business events and scale effortlessly as we grow
You will work closely with product managers, engineers, and business leaders to align our technical direction with the future needs of the company
You will evaluate whether to create custom software or purchase existing tools, ensuring every choice is secure, efficient, and fits our overall technical standards
You will collaborate with data specialists to design clear models of how information should be organized and stored across the enterprise
You will take difficult technical concepts and explain them in a way that makes sense to everyone, from software engineers to executive leadership
You will influence high-level technical decisions by applying the latest industry methodologies and high-performance technologies
You will ensure that everything we build is always available, secure, and compliant with global regulations without sacrificing speed or reliability
You have a degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related technical field
You have at least 12 years of experience designing and launching software systems, specifically for sales and online, in-product buying experiences
You are skilled at connecting different applications using modern tools and using real- time messaging to keep data synchronized across systems
You have experience building online marketplaces and portals that provide a smooth experience on both web and mobile devices
You have a deep understanding of sales tools, customer relationship systems, and data analytics
You can organize complex product and pricing data so it works well for both standard business needs and advanced AI search tools
You have practical experience using AI and machine learning to group products, analyze feedback, or suggest the best items for customers to buy
You know how to build flexible, high-performance software that is easy for a team to update and expand as the company grows
