• Design composable / headless commerce architectures leveraging API-first and microservices principles.
• Translate business requirements into scalable, extensible technical blueprints.
• Establish domain-driven design and bounded contexts across commerce capabilities (catalog, pricing, checkout, fulfillment, etc.).

• Define and implement AI-driven capabilities such as:
• Product recommendations & personalization
• Conversational commerce (chat/voice agents)
• Agentic workflows (AI-driven automation across systems)
• Partner with data teams to enable real-time decisioning using behavioral and transactional data.
• Evaluate and integrate AI platforms (Azure OpenAI, vector databases, LLM orchestration frameworks).

• Lead architecture on Azure cloud ecosystem including Azure App Services, Functions, Storage, CDN, and Cosmos DB.
• Define CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, and Dev Ops best practices.
• Ensure secure, compliant, and scalable cloud-native deployments.

• 10+ years of experience in software engineering with significant experience in eCommerce platforms.
• Strong experience in headless / composable commerce architectures, API-first and microservices design.
• Strong experience with REST APIs, Graph
  
  QL, and event-driven systems.
• Deep understanding of eCommerce domains: catalog, pricing, promotions, checkout, order management, and fulfillment.
• Experience with cloud-native architecture (Azure preferred, AWS acceptable).
• Strong understanding of performance optimization, SEO, and Core Web Vitals.
• Knowledge of security best practices and compliance.
• Proven ability to design high-scale, distributed systems.
• Excellent problem-solving and communication skills.

• Hands‑on or applied experience with Generative AI (LLMs, prompt engineering, RAG architectures).
• Experience with AI-powered personalization or recommendation systems.
• Experience integrating AI into customer experiences and internal workflows or SDLC.
• Understanding of vector databases, embeddings, and semantic search.
• Familiarity with AI orchestration frameworks (e.g., Lang Chain, Semantic Kernel, etc.).
