Shopify Solutions Architect

Can you determine how Shopify should integrate into a larger technology ecosystem that may include an ERP, OMS, PIM, inventory and fulfillment systems, marketing platforms, payment providers, tax platforms, CRM, and other enterprise systems?

Are you equally comfortable discussing architecture with a CTO, walking business stakeholders through technical tradeoffs, helping a sales team scope a potential project, and getting into the code when needed?

If so, we’d like to talk.
