Senior Solutions Architect (Composable Commerce)

Required Skills & Qualifications

• Enterprise-Level Architecture: 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, with at least 3 years operating as a Solution Architect, Lead Frontend Engineer, or Technical Consultant for large-scale enterprise e-commerce platforms.
• Frontend Mastery (Next.js & React): Deep, "inside-out" production-level expertise in Next.js, React, TypeScript, and modern Server-Side Rendering (SSR) and Incremental Static Regeneration (ISR) strategies.
• SAP Commerce Cloud (Hybris) Fluency: Direct, practical experience integrating frontends with SAP Commerce Cloud via OCC REST APIs. You must speak the language of SAP data models, cart calculations, and content delivery structures.
• SmartEdit Experience: Prior experience implementing, extending, or maintaining SAP SmartEdit context and live-previews within a headless/decoupled frontend architecture.
• MACH Principles: Strong conceptual and hands-on understanding of MACH (Micro-services, API-first, Cloud-native, Headless) principles.
• BFF & API Design (Alokai Connect): Strong experience building and maintaining Backend-for-Frontend (BFF) layers, Node.js middleware, GraphQL gateways, and custom API integrations (including payment and checkout platforms). Direct familiarity with Alokai’s Unified Data Layer (UDL) mapping is highly advantageous.
• C-Level Communication Skills: Near-native, highly confident English verbal and written communication skills. You must be comfortable leading high-stakes technical workshops, leading sprint planning, and confidently explaining complex architectural concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, up to C-level executives.
• Autonomy & Self-Onboarding: A proven track record of entering complex enterprise environments, identifying integration patterns, and onboarding yourself onto local codebases with minimal supervision ("knowing your stuff" from day one)

• Smooth Self-Onboarding: Within your first two weeks, you have mapped out the client's integration architecture, understood our Next.js framework implementation, and confidently taken over technical client sessions.
• Storefront Performance: Client storefronts consistently meet or exceed Core Web Vitals targets (LCP, INP, CLS). Performance is ingrained in everything you do; it is never an afterthought, even when orchestrating heavy, complex legacy payloads.
• Resilient Middleware Delivery: Alokai’s middleware is clean, performant, and correctly abstracts the complexity of SAP OCC REST APIs.
• Active Feedback Contribution: Effectively bridge client needs with internal engineering by lodging clear, actionable bug reports and feature requests to the Europe-based product team.
• High Client Trust: Enterprise technical stakeholders view you as a highly confident partner who translates complex headless architectures into easy-to-understand solutions.

• Elite Enterprise Exposure: Direct influence over the digital transformation of world-famous global brands.
• Premium Hardware Provision: We provide you with the best tools for the job, including a company-issued MacBook.
• Modern Stack: Work with cutting-edge tools (Alokai, Next.js, GraphQL, Node.js) on large-scale architectures.
• Influence Core Product Roadmap: Directly contribute to the evolution of the market-leading Frontend as a Service by feeding real-world enterprise insights back to the core product team.
• Global, Diverse Team: Collaborate with world-class engineers across Europe, the Americas, and APAC.
• 100% Remote & Flexible: Fully remote setup with high autonomy and flexible working rhythms.
