We are seeking an experienced Shopify Solution Architect to lead the technical design, system integration, and delivery governance of high-scale commerce solutions.

In this role, you will serve as the principal technical advisor for our enterprise clients, guiding them from discovery and architectural blueprints through platform launch and continuous optimization. You will bridge business objectives with technical execution, designing resilient architectures across Shopify Plus, headless frontends, and core enterprise systems (ERP, PIM, OMS, CRM).

Responsibilities

Design scalable, secure, and resilient e-commerce architectures leveraging Shopify Plus, middleware layers, and enterprise back-office platforms
Define end-to-end integration patterns using REST/GraphQL APIs, webhooks, and asynchronous/event-driven message pipelines (e.g., message brokers, event hubs, iPaaS)
Author comprehensive architecture blueprints, technical specifications, sequence diagrams, and data flow models
Guide technical decisions using the modern Shopify ecosystem: Shopify Functions, Checkout UI Extensions, Shopify B2B, and Shopify Markets
Establish architectural standards for headless storefronts built on Hydrogen and Remix, focusing on edge rendering (Shopify Oxygen), caching strategies, and Core Web Vitals
Lead proof-of-concept (POC) builds and technical spikes to de-risk complex integrations and validate platform boundaries
Lead technical discovery workshops with client C-level executives, enterprise architects, and engineering teams
Assess non-functional requirements (NFRs) — including security, concurrency, compliance, internationalization, and platform rate limits
Evaluate total cost of ownership (TCO) and architectural trade-offs between native Shopify capabilities, custom apps, and third-party SaaS tools
Partner with engineering leads to ensure implementation fidelity against architectural blueprints, performance standards, and security guidelines
Mentor technical leads and senior developers in Shopify best practices, API governance, and modern web application patterns
Conduct architectural reviews and performance audits prior to major deployments

Requirements

6+ years in technical architecture or lead engineering roles within enterprise e-commerce, with at least 3+ years architecting solutions on Shopify Plus
Demonstrated experience integrating Shopify with core enterprise platforms (e.g., SAP, NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Akeneo, Salsify, Salesforce)
Mastery of the Shopify GraphQL Admin & Storefront APIs, API rate-limiting strategies, data migration patterns, and reliable webhook ingestion pipelines
Strong technical grounding in Hydrogen, Remix, React, Node.js, and TypeScript, with deep expertise in SSR, edge caching, and web performance optimization
Deep familiarity with modern extension frameworks (Shopify Functions, App Extensions, Custom Apps) and modern checkout customization
Exceptional ability to translate complex architectural trade-offs to business stakeholders and collaborate effectively with distributed engineering teams
English proficiency at an Upper-Intermediate level (B2) or higher

Nice to have

Official Shopify certifications (e.g., Shopify App Developer Certification)
Experience with complex B2B commerce workflows, high-volume catalog sync engines, or multi-store/multi-currency setups
Practical background architecting event-driven microservices, distributed queues, or serverless middleware patterns
