Summary:
We are looking for a seasoned hands-on eCommerce Integration Architect with deep expertise in designing and implementing
modern ecommerce solutions based on composable architectures. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in Java and Spring Framework, as well as hands-on experience with Azure Integration Services, Solace AEM and modern cloud-native technologies. You will lead the creation of scalable, flexible, and API-first ecommerce platforms using MACH principles, composable commerce platforms (like CommerceTools), and modern frontend frameworks such as Next.js.
Responsibilities:
• Design and architect modern, modular ecommerce solutions following MACH principles (Microservices, API-first, Cloud-native, Headless), with a focus on Java and Spring Framework technologies. • Architect and drive the integration of ecommerce systems with Azure services, including Azure Integration Services (Logic Apps, API Management, Event Hub) to ensure seamless data flow and event-driven architectures. • Design, manage, and evolve microservices-based architectures leveraging Java and Spring Boot, ensuring scalability, resilience, and seamless integrations.
• Lead the implementation of Composable Commerce platforms (e.g., CommerceTools) and build API-first solutions to support headless commerce strategies, enabling flexibility in frontend development and integrations. • Architect microfrontend-based frontend solutions using modern JavaScript frameworks, particularly Next.js, to deliver performant and modular user experiences. • Design and leverage Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) to deploy and manage containerized applications, ensuring high availability, efficient scaling, and optimized cloud resource utilization. • Design and architect event-driven ecommerce systems using Solace to enable real-time data processing and efficient messaging across microservices. • Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including backend and frontend engineers, DevOps, and business stakeholders, to ensure alignment between technical and business objectives. Mentor development teams on modern architectural best practices. • Ensure that the architecture supports high-performance and scalable ecommerce platforms, capable of handling significant traffic and transactions in a cloud-native environment. • Implement best practices in security, ensuring that systems are compliant with industry standards and utilize secure communication protocols such as OAuth, SSO, and JWT.
Required Experience:
• 10+ years of experience in software architecture, with a focus on ecommerce, Java, and cloud-native solutions. • Proficiency with CommerceTools, Next.js, and Azure Cloud services. • Familiarity with modern DevSecOps practices, including CI/CD pipelines, using tools such as GitLab, ArgoCD, or Terraform. • Extensive experience with Java, Spring Boot, and the Spring Framework to design and build robust, scalable, and secure backend services. • Proficient in Azure Integration Services, API Management, and Solace, for seamless integration and event-driven architecture.
• Expertise in Composable Commerce platforms such as CommerceTools and experience building headless, API-first commerce solutions. • Proven experience designing and implementing microservices-based architectures using Java and cloud-native tools, ensuring loose coupling and scalability. • Strong understanding and experience implementing MACH principles (Microservices, API-first, Cloud-native, Headless) in ecommerce ecosystems. • Experience with microfrontend architectures and modern JavaScript frameworks, especially Next.js, to deliver modular and independent frontend components. • Hands-on experience with Azure Kubernetes Service for managing containerized applications, automating deployments, and orchestrating microservices at scale. • Expertise in building and managing APIs (RESTful and GraphQL), ensuring seamless integration across multiple platforms and services. • Experience designing and implementing event-driven architectures using Azure Event Hub or similar event streaming platforms. • In-depth knowledge of security protocols, including OAuth, JWT, and SSO, as well as ensuring the security and compliance of cloud-native applications.
Desired Experience:
• Experience with headless CMS systems and integrating with ecommerce platforms. • Familiarity with container orchestration and automation tools such as Helm and Kubernetes Operators. • Experience with data streaming and real-time data processing solutions. • Knowledge of Agile and Scrum methodologies.
Education:
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or related field (Master’s degree preferred).
Certification:
Certifications in Azure (Azure Solutions Architect, Azure DevOps) and/or Java are a plus.
