  • This role spans strategic domains—Digital, Retail Stores, Supply Chain, Customer Data, eCommerce, Marketing, and Fulfillment—and serves as a critical change agent, enabling Connected and Agentic Commerce. The architect will influence enterprise-wide technology modernization, blueprints, and AI-driven commerce initiatives to unlock growth, improve customer satisfaction, and drive operational efficiency.

  • Integrate commerce ecosystems with real-time decision engines, customer data platforms (CDPs), recommendation systems, and AI models to drive adaptive journeys.
  • Partner with product, engineering, and data science teams to implement AI across the customer lifecycle—from acquisition and engagement to loyalty and retention.
  • Define architectural principles to scale AI/ML use cases, leveraging cloud-native platforms (GCP, AWS), serverless models, and data mesh strategies.
  • Ensure architecture enables real-time signals processing (e.g., clickstream, IoT, POS), contextual understanding, and action-triggering across commerce surfaces.
  • Lead architectural reviews and governance for AI-based and connected commerce projects.
  • Guide experimentation with GenAI, LLMs, and autonomous agents in commerce, marketing, and fulfillment use cases.
  • Collaborate with data, privacy, and compliance teams to align AI-powered experiences with data governance and ethical AI frameworks.
 
Required Qualifications:

    • Digital Experience Platforms (CMS, DAM, PIM)
    • Customer Data Platforms (CDPs), Loyalty & Personalization Engines
    • Retail POS, OMS, and Fulfillment Systems
  • Deep knowledge of cloud-native architectures, microservices, event-driven systems (Kafka, GCP Pub/Sub), and serverless patterns.
  • Experience integrating AI/ML services into customer-facing applications, preferably in real-time or large-scale environments.
 
Preferred Qualifications:
