Job Skills & Traits * API Ecosystem Management: Proficiency in designing and governing RESTful APIs, GraphQL, and Webhooks with a focus on versioning and backward compatibility. * ECommerce & ERP Ecosystems: Hands-on experience with the "Order-to-Cash" lifecycle, connecting front-end platforms (e.g., Shopify, Salesforce, Magento) to back-office systems (e.g., NetSuite, SAP, Oracle). * Observability & Monitoring Design: Skill in architecting "health dashboards" using tools like Datadog, or New Relic to track data flow across systems. * Data Mapping & Governance: Expert-level data modeling to ensure consistency between high-speed web databases and structured financial ledgers. * Middleware Mastery: Advanced configuration and design experience with iPaaS platforms (e.g., MuleSoft, Boomi, Workato, or Azure Service Bus). * Cross-Functional Solution Design: The ability to facilitate "Discovery Workshops" that align Product roadmaps with back-office technical constraints. * Operational Readiness Planning: Skill in defining Non-Functional Requirements (NFRs)-specifically scalability, maintainability, and "supportability" (how easily a non-engineer can troubleshoot an issue). * Incident Post-Mortem Leadership: Capability to lead root-cause analysis across teams when a complex, multi-system integration fails. ## Description We are seeking a Solution Architect who acts as the primary connective tissue between business vision and operational reality. In this role, you are a Strategic Orchestrator., * Documentation for "Day 2": Crafting high-level sequence diagrams and "Source of Truth" maps that BAs and Support teams can use post-launch. * Strategic Translation: Translating a Product Manager's "Customer Delight" goal into a Technical Architect's "Low Latency" requirement. * Conflict Resolution & Negotiation: Balancing the speed-to-market needs of the PM with the stability requirements of the Back-Office team. * Systems Thinking: The ability to visualize and communicate how a small change in the web checkout ripples through inventory, tax, and shipping systems. Duties & Responsibilities Responsibilities * Create current and future state solution documentation * Maintain solution documentation, process flows, and system maps to support post-launch operations. * Produce and maintain requirement documentation, integration designs, data mappings, internal systems maps, reference architectures * Lead discovery sessions to clarify requirements, dependencies, and system impacts. * Review integration designs, data mappings, and APIs to ensure business and technical alignment. * Partner across product teams, engineering teams, and operations to resolve blockers and keep delivery on track. * Identify architectural risks, operational gaps, and cross-system dependencies early. * Support incident triage and root-cause analysis across integrated platforms. Cross-Functional Orchestration Your value is measured by the integrity of the "End-to-End" solution. You take the "What" from Product and BAs and define the "How" across the web and back-office. * For Product Managers: You validate that their roadmap is technically viable and identify architectural shortcuts or risks to their speed-to-market. * For Business Analysts: You transform functional requirements into a cohesive system design that accounts for every downstream impact in the back-office. * For Technical Architects: You provide high-level guardrails, ensuring their deep-dive builds fit into the broader enterprise puzzle. * For Project Managers: You clarify dependencies and sequence integration milestones for predictable delivery. Post-Deployment Support A solution isn't successful if it can't be supported. You are responsible for ensuring that cross-functional support is baked into the architecture, not an afterthought. * Service Design: Define the supportability requirements during the design phase so that Support and Ops teams aren't left guessing when an order stalls between the web and the ERP. * Observability Strategy: Design end-to-end monitoring and "source of truth" logging that allows cross-functional teams to quickly identify if an issue is a front-end bug or a back-office data failure. * Post-Launch Stabilization: Lead the technical transition from project delivery to business-as-usual (BAU), ensuring BAs and PMs have the documentation and visibility needed to manage the solution post-deployment. * Solution Value Alignment: Ensure every integration point directly supports a business outcome (e.g., reducing order friction, improving data accuracy). * Architectural Orchestration: Design the "grand logic" connecting our eCommerce front-end to our ERP, Warehouse, and Finance systems. * Gap Discovery: Proactively identify where business processes break between systems and design the "bridge" to fix them. * Stakeholder Synthesis: Facilitate sessions to resolve conflicting requirements between the web and the back-office. * Incident Command ## Related Videos - [Why make use of an integration platform in today's software developments and infrastructure?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/758-why-make-use-of-an-integration-platform-in-today-s-software-developments-and-infrastructure) - [The OpenTelemetry mistakes I keep seeing (and how to stop making them)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100158-the-opentelemetry-mistakes-i-keep-seeing-and-how-to-stop-making-them) - [HR ROBO SAPIENS: Decoding AI Agents and Workflow Automation for Modern Recruitment](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1470-hr-robo-sapiens-decoding-ai-agents-and-workflow-automation-for-modern-recruitment) - [Next Level Enterprise Architecture: Modular, Flexible, Scalable, Multichannel and AI-Ready?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1017-next-level-enterprise-architecture-modular-flexible-scalable-multichannel-and-ai-ready) - [Accelerating Authentication Architecture: Taking Passwordless to the Next Level](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/733-accelerating-authentication-architecture-taking-passwordless-to-the-next-level) - [Create a Programmatic SEO Project Using Next.js and Static Site Generation](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/449-create-a-programmatic-seo-project-using-next-js-and-static-site-generation) ## Related Articles - [What Are The Top Skills Required For Azure Developers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/77-what-are-the-top-skills-required-for-azure-developers) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Why Upskilling And Reskilling is Important For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/428-why-upskilling-and-reskilling-is-important-for-developers) - [Why Event-Driven Architecture Isn’t About Speed (and When You Actually Need It)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/745-why-event-driven-architecture-isn-t-about-speed-and-when-you-actually-need-it) - [How to Answer the Interview Question: “Why Do You Want to Be a Software Engineer?”](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/392-how-to-answer-the-interview-question-why-do-you-want-to-be-a-software-engineer)
