Technical Architect

This temporary contract is inside IR35 and will require working under the direction of the client delivery manager as part of a multi-disciplinary team. The successful candidate will follow established delivery processes and working practices.

We’re looking for a hands-on Technical Architect with strong Commercetools and composable commerce experience to take a leading role on a major strategic eCommerce platform.

This isn’t an ivory-tower architecture role. We need someone who can lead technically, challenge engineering decisions, troubleshoot complex production issues and get into the code when needed. The must-haves

• Strong commercial Commercetools experience
• Excellent understanding of MACH/composable commerce architecture
• Hands-on TypeScript & Node.js
• Strong Microsoft Azure experience, particularly Azure Functions/PaaS
• React/Next.js knowledge
• Experience with APIs, microservices, serverless and event-driven architectures
• Strong B2C retail/eCommerce background
• Experience supporting complex, high-volume production platforms
• Strong technical leadership and the confidence to challenge suppliers and engineering teams

The environment

You’ll be working across a modern commerce stack including:

You’ll provide technical leadership across production support, incident resolution, architecture, code reviews, platform improvements and the transition of technical ownership from the incumbent supplier.

We’re particularly interested in architects who still enjoy being close to the technology - someone comfortable looking at the code, logs, APIs and traces themselves rather than simply directing others.
