Sr. Solution Architect, Shop Direct

Description

We're looking for a Solutions Architect to serve as the technical backbone of the Shop Direct Business Development team within Amazon's Off-Amazon Selection (OAS) program. In this role, you'll partner closely with Account Managers and Business Development to convert merchant interest into live, scalable integrations - removing the technical friction that stands between off-Amazon and hybrid brands and their selection going live on Amazon.

You'll be the go-to technical expert across the merchant lifecycle: scoping integration requirements during recruitment, guiding merchants and their feed syndicators (Versa Feed, Go Data Feed , Productsup, and others) through SP-API role access and catalog integration, and troubleshooting onboarding issues so listings surface reliably in the Shop Direct search widget. You'll translate merchant needs into technical solutions and feed real-world friction back to product and engineering teams to improve the platform.

Key job responsibilities

Pre-sales technical support - Partner with Account Managers on prospect calls to assess merchant feasibility, scope integration paths, and set clear technical expectations.

Integration architecture - Design and recommend the right onboarding approach per merchant, whether direct SP-API, feed syndicator, or platform partner (e.g., Wix, Stripe).

Onboarding enablement - Guide merchants and their developers/syndicators through SP-API role access, catalog feed setup, and validation until selection is live and discoverable.

Troubleshooting - Diagnose and resolve integration blockers (e.g., listings not appearing in the search widget) in coordination with search, product, and engineering teams.

Cross-functional feedback loop - Surface recurring technical friction to product and engineering to drive platform and process improvements that scale.

Scalability & tooling - Identify opportunities to reduce manual onboarding effort and help build repeatable, documented integration playbooks.
