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.
